Previously, RRR debuted on two OTT platforms. While the Telugu version is available on ZEE5, the Hindi version is available on Netflix. The period drama, which is loosely based on the story of Alluri Sitaram Raju and Komaram Bheem, was released in theatres around the world on March 24. The film is said to have grossed around ₹1000 crore at the box office. It was also well received by the global audience.

According to Indian Express, in an interview with Russo Brothers, SS Rajamouli spoke about the western audience’s reaction to the film and expressed, “I was surprised with the reception from the West. A good story is a good story for everyone, but I didn’t think I could make a western film. I never had faith in myself. So, when it was released on Netflix and people began watching it, word-of-mouth began to spread as critics began to give positive reviews. I was pleasantly surprised, and it would not have been possible without Netflix, for which I am grateful.”
