SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ continues to get praises, and this time, the validation came from the West. The movie was adjudged the second-best film at the Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Awards 2022 on July 1.
The Hollywood Critics Association gives away awards twice a year, once in February and then in July, which are called the Midseason Awards. The nominations for these awards were announced by the body last week. In the Best Picture category, Ram Charan and Jr NTR-starrer 'RRR' found itself competing against Hollywood heavyweights like ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, ‘The Batman’, ‘Elvis’, and ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’.
The tweet read, "And the winner of the HCA Midseason Award for Best Picture goes to…Everything Everywhere All At Once. Runner up: RRR. #HCAMidseasonAwards #A24 #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce @A24 @EEAAOA24." Reacting to the news, many fans said that RRR should have been given the award.
A tweet read, "RRR should have been the winner! Indian film with worldwide reach and appreciation vs a Hollywood release." Another fan said, "Disappointed. Should have been RRR." A person also tweeted, "Simple EEAAO is hwood /us based film. And got more exposure, hype, reach. RRR is a foreign film with limited exposure. RRR 1st half alone is better theatrical experience than whole EEAAO. People who watched RRR in theatres or home theatres would know which is better."
