SS Rajamouli’s RRR secures ninth spot in Sight and Sound magazine’s ’50 Best Films of 2022’

'RRR' has been named among the 50 best films of 2022 by British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine. SS Rajamouli's magnum opus secured the ninth spot surpassing some of the biggest Hollywood ventures like Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, Cate Blanchett’s TAR, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The list cited that the Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer 'boasts a kind of Olympian exuberance running through both its action and its musical sequence'. Set in the 1920s, 'RRR' follows a pre-independence fictional story that revolves around two Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' also bagged 3 awards at Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Annual Awards including Best Foreign Language Film.

Another film that made the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine’s top 50 list was Shaunak Sen's documentary ‘All that Breathes’. The film, which secured the 32nd spot, has won awards at the Sundance Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival among others.
The list cited, ‘In the dingy environs of a concrete workshop on a tumbledown street in north-east Delhi – in the smoggy skies above and the waste grounds below – Shaunak Sen’s deft, visionary documentary finds the modern city teeming with life, which is to say a crucible of struggle, ferment, resilience and reinvention. ‘Evolution favours experimentation,’ we’re told in this fraught fable of two brothers aiding Delhi’s black kites as they fall out of the sky. The film suggests a spiral dance between the possibility and the necessity of adaptation.’

Charlotte Well's debut feature ‘Aftersun’, which tells the story of tells the story of a young father-daughter duo Calum and Sophie, ranked first in the list.
