RRR (2022) review

Revolutionaries Bheem (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.) and Raju (Ram Charan), living under the boot of the Brits, band together to find a little girl named Malli (Twinkle Sharma) who was stolen from her village and take on (what seems like) an entire Army ... oh, and there's also a subplot involving a (highly unlikely) romance with Jenny (Olivia Morris), a dance-off, betrayals and flashbacks and so on.  Rajamouli is apparently the Michael Bay of India, making these super-expensive "epics" that throw historical accuracy into the Ganges, but for all his "enthusiasm" and over-stylized "direction," it's excessive, baffling and (unintentionally?) hilarious: movies from this particular country tend to try to do too much and cover too many genres ... and the CGI is chintzy considering the budget (games on the most recent PlayStation looks better).  Reportedly, Daisy Edgar-Jones was supposed to appear in it but had to drop out for "family issues," which I'm guessing meant her parents wanted her to do anything but this.
