RRR Is The Topper – But Tollywood Not Getting Credit
With OTT streaming giant Netflix stating that "RRR" is the most watched non-English film on their site, with approximately 1.8 crore hours of viewing, telugu people are no doubt in high spirits. According to this, the film was seen by over 6 million people. But there's a snag.
Given that Netflix has more subscribers outside of India, we can estimate that roughly 3 million rrr watchers are from other countries. So, what do they think of the movie? While the film is a magnificent achievement that has astounded even Hollywood's most prominent actors and directors, they are all now convinced that rrr is a hindi film with english subtitles available on Netflix.
Given that Zee5 paid the most for the telugu and other south indian versions of rrr, Netflix has focused on obtaining solely the hindi version. Given Netflix's global reach, it's safe to assume that more people have viewed the hindi version than the telugu version. Many people who are unfamiliar with Rajamouli, ram Charan, and jr ntr assumed the film was a hindi film as a result of this. With the success of rrr on Netflix, the credit will almost certainly go to bollywood once more, and only those who do more research on the director or star performers will know the reality.
