RRR, which debuted on March 24, 2022, tells the fictional story of two Indian freedom fighters, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.
The movie takes place in the time period of the 1920s when India was a British colony.
RRR smashed the record for the greatest opening-day collection by an Indian movie with 240 crores (US$30 million) worldwide on its first day.
The movie broke multiple records at the box office, becoming the second-highest-grossing Telugu movie globally and the fourth-highest-grossing Indian movie with a total worldwide gross of 1,200 crores (US$175.47 million). At the 47th Saturn Awards, RRR received nominations in three categories and won the Best International Film prize.
The movie is shattering records in Japan as well. RRR, which opened in Japan on October 21, is now the Indian movie with the fastest entry into the JPY 300 million club.
