Ram Charan, Jr NTR's period drama RRR collects over Rs 500 cr worldwide in opening weekend

SS Rajamouli’s period drama RRR has sent cash registers ringing at the box-office. The Hindi version of the film has managed to earn over Rs 74 crore in its opening weekend.

RRR has grossed over Rs 500 crore worldwide on its opening weekend, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The numbers are especially significant as the film had released on a non-holiday weekend.

RRR, which stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, had collected over Rs 257 crore worldwide on its opening day, beating the record of Rajamouli’s previous blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The Hindi version of the film has emerged as the first movie to gross over Rs 30 crore in a day in the coronavirus pandemic era, according to Adarsh. This film has beaten the Sunday box-office record of Akshay Kumar’s cop drama Sooryavanshi, which had collected Rs 26.50 crore in one day last year. According to Adarsh, RRR (Hindi) has earned a total of Rs 74.50 crore since it released on 25 March. The film has collected Rs 19 crore on its opening day, followed by collections of Rs 24 crore and Rs 31.50 on 26 and 27 March. View the tweet here:

The film has managed to perform exceptionally well at mass centres, leading to expectations that it would manage to hold on to its growth on Day 4 (today) as well.

The Hindi version of RRR had also faced some stiff competition from Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files.  The Anupam Kher-starrer remains strong at the box-office, having grossed over Rs 228 crore till date. The Kashmir Files earned Rs 8.75 crore on Sunday and is now on track to cross the Rs 250-crore mark.

RRR also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Alison Doody, Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. The film is based on the revolutionaries Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju and their fight against the British empire. The film marks SS Rajamouli’s first directorial venture since his super-hit Baahubali franchise.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great

Studying women presidents and prime ministers on screen, from Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up to Dimple Kapadia in A Thursday

In 2016, when I heard Hillary Clinton had lost the US Presidential race to Donald Trump, I took it as a confirmation that this is how much the US hated its women. And I felt temporarily gratified to live in a country which elected a woman as its third prime minister. This was before I remembered Indira Gandhi was the only woman prime minister we have had, and she was an outlier. Her strong and uncompromising leadership style skews meaningful analysis of gender representation in governance. Anyway, for all the breaking of paths and glass ceilings, trailblazers like Gandhi and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher commonly belong to conservative or traditional parties. Left to the simultaneously imaginative and mimetic art of comedy, the first woman US president looks like Meryl Streep’s Janine Orlean in Don’t Look Up and Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer in the HBO show Veep . They are both are anti-feminists and women of power. Yet they could not be more different in how they reflect the r

Netflix's Lupin acknowledges dangers of fantasies of omnipotence, introducing viewers to a socially conscious gentleman thief

By Emma Bielecki Netflix’s immensely successful new French-language show Lupin has introduced a new generation of anglophone viewers to one of the most popular characters in French popular fiction, Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Lupin was created in 1905 by the writer Maurice Leblanc at the behest of publisher Pierre Lafitte, who had recently launched a general interest magazine, Je Sais Tout . Lafitte wanted a serial that would guarantee a loyal readership for his magazine, as the Sherlock Holmes stories had for the Strand Magazine. Drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle and EW Hornung’s Raffles stories, Leblanc obliged by creating a flamboyant and ultimately always benign trickster figure. Cat burglar, con artist, master of disguise, Lupin is also a brilliant detective and righter of wrongs. His appeal has proved enduring: in addition to the original 20 volumes of stories authored by Leblanc, there have been countless plays, radio shows, TV series and films, from Italian pornos
