While the box office collection is impressive post-pandemic, it doesn’t seem to have managed to surpass Baahubali: The Conclusion’s opening weekend box office collection. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala in 2017 had revealed that Baahubali 2 had collected Rs 526 crore ($81.8 million) worldwide. We’ll have to wait and see for the final figures for RRR to determine which of Rajamouli’s movies earned the highest.

However, RRR holds the record for the highest opening weekend box office collection domestically. The opening day box office collection had beaten Baabhubali 2’s record. RRR had opened to a whopping Rs 223 crore, six crores more than Baahubali 2’s Rs 217 crore worldwide box office collection of day 1.
SS Rajamouli’s visual splendor has received impressive reviews from critics and audiences. The film is based on the lives of Telugu freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem who are fighting to break away the shackles of the British empire in India. Ram Charan played Alluri while Jr NTR is seen as Komaram. The movie presents their friendship and dedication to work for the nation and to work towards independence. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn among others.
News18.com’s review of the film reads, “The climax just takes it a notch above. It’s hard not to cheer when a key character avenges against the Britishers, it’s hard not to start tapping your feet when the two actors dance on Nacho Nacho. There is virtually no stopping Rajamouli’s incredible imagination.”
