'Everything Everywhere All at Once' Director Heaps Praise On SS Rajamouli's 'RRR'

Hyderabad, October 18 - SS Rajamouli's cinematic masterpiece RRR has a new fan in the form of director Daniel Kwan. The Jr. NTR and Ram Charan-fronted period action drama film is the most loved Indian movie internationally, especially in the United States where the general audience and filmmakers are literally going gaga over the movie. ## Daniel Kwan, who wrote and directed the critically acclaimed absurdist comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once lauded the Indian blockbuster. "After a busy year of work and travelling I’ve finally checked a couple things off my list 1) finished my taxes (I know the irony) and 2) watched RRR. HOLY COW ya'll weren't kidding. Anytime I watch an Indian action film I feel like I'm working in the wrong country", Kwan tweeted.## "What really struck me is, while a lot of the blockbusters we're making in the states tend to have self-aware, cheeky characters trapped in self-serious filmmaking, RRR was all heart-on-its-sleeve sincerity wrapped up in the most ridiculous over-the-top execution. So much to love", the filmmaker added.## What really struck me is, while a lot of the blockbusters we’re making in the states tend to have self aware, cheeky characters trapped in self-serious filmmaking, RRR was all heart-on-its-sleeve sincerity wrapped up in the most ridiculous over the top execution.
