Excessive citations
I'll list in this section some of the references that I remove as part of WP:CITEKILL so that they could potentially be used for sourcing other relevant content.


 * This is interesting as it says the movie was supposed to release on July 26, 2020. However, existing citations say July 30. Was 26th also an option or did The Hindu get it wrong?

 * 26 July is wrong, announced as 30 July only. I mean who releases their film on a Sunday? -- Ab207 (talk) 09:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ab207 This ref says Anirudh Ravichander was roped in for the song promo. Could it be added in casting or simply at the song promo sentence in design? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * , definitely not in the cast section, its reserved for the actual film. Many playback singers of the film have appeared in the lyrical songs, so Anirudh is not special. I'm neutral on adding in other section. -- Ab207 (talk) 09:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ab207 P.S. "Bheem for Ramaraju" in March 2020 is missing — DaxServer (t · m · c) 17:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Under Release, Theatrical: 'The High Court quashed the petition in March, observing that film did not tarnish the reputation of two revolutionaries as claimed.'

Please change 'reputation of two revolutionaries' to 'reputation of the two revolutionaries'. Amecabra (talk) 14:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Page move
Move preformed without explanation or discussion on August 9; RRR (disambiguation) had also been moved on April 2 with no explanation. However, the moove seems to have been justified based on the disproportionate pageviews of this article compared to others on the DAB page.

Pageviews for this article, its former title, RRR (disambiguation), and the next seven most popular articles at that dab page between April 3 and December 3: in decreasing order, Rayman Raving Rabbids, RRR (soundtrack), The three Rs, Red River Rivalry, Regional Ring Road, River Runs Red, and Ridge Racer Revolution. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 08:10, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Addressing the (mis)uses of history in RRR
The film opens with a disclaimer that the work is entirely fictional; however, since the two leading characters are based on two central Telugu historical figures, there is a certain responsibility owed to depicting them with a degree of historical integrity. In order to address these nuanced issues, I have added a section titled '(Mis)use of History,' which delves into the complexities surrounding historical accuracy and the adequacy of disclaimers. This section aims to foster a discussion on how the film navigates the fine line between fiction and historical representation, inviting contributors to share their insights on the challenges and ethical considerations involved. I encourage fellow editors to review this section and provide feedback to ensure a balanced and informed portrayal of the historical context within the film.

 * I'd argue that this section entirely violates WP:NOR, as it looks entirely like an original analysis/essay about historical disclaimers. The proper way to include something like this is if it is discussed in reliable sources, where then it'd probably be included in the Reception section as what those original sources thought about the film's usage of history. Plenty of fictional works go wildly off the rails of real history, the place with your own discussion to start this discussion is neither this page nor probably Wikipedia. As such, I have reverted this edit. 2607:FEA8:1E1F:EE00:C614:C5A1:E940:5260 (talk) 04:22, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion of acclaim by filmmakers for RRR
RRR is a unique Indian movie that has received massive acclaim globally - something that's not shared by any other movie and is inspirational for the entire Indian film ecosystem.

The section below highlights that unique achievement.

 Reception of RRR by international Filmmakers 

Steven Spielberg praised RRR, saying "I couldn't believe my eyes – it was like eye candy...it was extraordinary to look at and experience." Rajamouli said in response "I can almost get up from the chair and do a dance – it means a lot to me."

James Cameron said that he liked RRR so much that he watched it twice and praised the screenplay, direction and music direction of the movie.

Edgar Wright said that RRR was "an absolute blast" and said it was "The only film I have ever seen where the intermission card itself got a round of applause."

Adam McKay publicly expressed support to RRR for the Oscar awards race.

James Gunn said that about RRR that he "Totally dug it."

Russo Brothers have publicly expressed their appreciation for RRR and its director SS Rajamouli. Joe Russo mentioned “I’ve seen RRR, and it’s amazing." He further mentions "What I think is so amazing about [RRR] is the emotion it evokes, combined with the spectacle."

Scott Derrickson tweeted "To celebrate my birthday last night, my wife, kids and I watched @RRRMovie — what an awesomely outrageous roller coaster of a movie. Loved it"

Joe Dante called RRR a brutal portrait that depicts the horrors of British colonisation and said that "I bet you’ve never seen anything quite like it"

Daniel Kwan lauded the film, saying "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." This section has been thoroughly cited (as can be seen from the history version of this page from 26-27 Jan 2024) with all the examples, but is continuously being removed by the user below, whom I address below to better understand the contention:

May I ask why are you removing this section? Is there a problem with citation? Is the acclaim by Steven Speilberg or James Cameron not considered noteworthy by you? Is there any other format that you'll prefer? Are there any other issues that you have noticed?

Kindly clearly articulate the reasons here in the Talk page so that we can understand your reason for persistently editing this section out. SaibaK (talk) 01:54, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Follow the standard film article formats, there can't be no separate section titled "Reception by international filmmakers". No film article on Wikipedia has such section. You cannot add about each and every person, already the article is bigger. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there a standard film article format? Kindly point to it. Wikipedia policy has no such thing.
 * What is presented above is a highly researched and labored section with proper citation and is highly pertinent to the wikipedia page. Discarding such notable information and accolades which is unprecedented for any Indian movie seems inappropriate. Is there any other Indian movie which can even have such a section? RRR is unique and therefore needs a separate section.
 * Also, kindly discuss the topic here before deleting well researched and cited work by others. SaibaK (talk) 16:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
