The documentary RRR: Behind and Beyond peels back the layers of this magnum opus, offering a riveting exploration of its genesis, execution, and the relentless vision of its creator, SS Rajamouli.

While the documentary brims with pride and awe, it leaves one yearning for a more textured narrative beyond its celebratory tone.

The premise of RRR was audacious from the outset—two legendary freedom fighters, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, reimagined as larger-than-life heroes in a fictionalized saga of friendship and rebellion.

Bringing together Telugu cinema's powerhouses, NTR Jr and Ram Charan, the film delivered breathtaking action sequences, a euphoric musical centerpiece in 'Naatu Naatu,' and a deeply symbolic narrative that resonated universally.

Behind and Beyond meticulously unpacks these elements, offering viewers a glimpse into the herculean effort behind every frame.

Starting with the idea, the first shot, the massive bone-chilling introduction of Ramaraju to the final moments after the Academy Award, the film ties up the whole journey efficiently in a perfect runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes.

Rajamouli, the maestro of action cinema, emerges as the documentary's beating heart.

His child-like enthusiasm and meticulous attention to detail shine through as he deconstructs the film's most iconic scenes.

Each action block is not merely a spectacle but a narrative device, laden with symbolism and emotional depth.
