After breaking box office records for Telugu cinema with his epic Baahubali saga, writer/director S.S. Rajamouli achieved unprecedented global crossover success with the rollicking RRR. Rajamouli’s film follows Bheem (Rao) and Raju (Charan), fictionalized versions of real-life revolutionaries—and men emerging from different backgrounds during British colonial rule in 1920s India. Their unlikely friendship leads to a powerful alliance in opposition to the regime in this unrivaled fusion of blockbuster excess, blood-stained brotherhood, and musical ecstasy. A word-of-mouth sensation in the U.S. upon its release, RRR won the Best Original Song Oscar for its centerpiece number, “Naatu Naatu.” 

Admission is free, seating limited. No admission 15 minutes after scheduled start times.
