Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

The Indian film 『 RRR 』 won the Golden Globe Award in 2023 and the Academy Award for Best Song. Set in the British Indian Empire in the 1920 s, Beam rose up to recover his sister who was kidnapped by the British army, and Rama became a police officer of the British government for a cause. This 『 RRR 』 looks like an excellent entertainment work, but in fact, historical and political images and designs are scattered everywhere. The story is based on the two great epic poems of ancient India, 『 Ramayana 』 and 『 Mahabharata 』. The two main characters are modeled after real tribal leaders of liberation struggle, but what kind of people were they? What is the current Hindu nationalism exalted by portraying the United Kingdom as a villain, including the Viceroy and his wife? The origin of the flag used impressively in the story (different from the current national flag), 8 heroes of liberation struggle including Chandra Bose who appear in the background of the end roll one after another, and why Gandhi is not there? It explains the meaning and background of 『 RRR 』. It also explains many Indian movies such as 『 Gandhi 』 who won 9 Academy Awards and 『 Mutu Maharaja 』, and teaches modern Indian history through movies.
