thanks to those british soldiers who dragged heavy-ass searchlights into the middle of the forest so ram could have his epic slay girlboss moment. truly.

obsessed with Bheem's switch from 'bhaiya' to 'anna' when he admits his identity to Ram, actually.

(rip to those who watched it in Hindi, idk how many of these nuances carried over in the dubs and subtitles. but! I had the delight of loving how Telugu's dialects are used in RRR, so figured I'd share some of what I noticed!)

[disclaimer: this is just based off my experience/what I've heard from others, not necessarily, y'know, academically studied.]

Bheem in RRR broadly speaks two different kinds of Telugu - one with his fellow Gonds, and one when he's pretending to be Akhtar. You'll also hear a third style of Telugu used by characters like Raju, Raju's folks, pretty much every non-Gond character actually, and the songs, etc.

The choices about which style of Telugu the film uses at different moments is absolutely delicious to dig into.

For one, when Bheem is speaking to other folks of his tribe, the pronunciations and words he uses are very distinct from the 'standardised' style of Telugu that the other characters primarily use.

(I call it standardised only because that's the form of Telugu taught in formal education. It's not just pronunciations and words that differ between different styles, but even the grammar and verb forms change!)

But when Bheem is pretending to be Akhtar, his language changes completely. What Akhtar speaks is closer to standardised Telugu with heavy Hindi/Urdu influences (words like 'bhaiya', meaning brother, are Hindi additions. In other styles of Telugu, you'd say 'anna'). 'Bhaiya' IS something you hear in some Telugu-speaking regions, plus this is Delhi so there's bound to be Hindi influencing the language. It absolutely makes sense for him to speak that way when he's pretending to live there.

So, Delhiite Akhtar calls Raju "bhaiya" and refers to Seeta as "bhabhi" - both of those are Hindi words. Hindi words that are definitely not used in other forms of Telugu.

And that's why the moment he admits his actual identity to Raju is SO satisfying, because he goes:

[in standardised Telugu] No matter how long we spend together, I always long to spend more time with you, bhaiya. But I need to leave. [beat] [in distinctly Gond style] Anna, I've hidden the truth from you.

Even if you can't make out the difference styles in Telugu, you'll notice that Bheem never calls Raju 'bhaiya' after that point. Because that's not the Gond style, and he's dropped the disguise. Raju is anna now, a very Telugu word.

(also while looking up the line I just noticed this: We see Akhtar through a curtain/veil when he's saying he needs to leave. It's when the camera pans past the curtain and the disguise lifts, that we see Bheem speaking as himself. nice.)

just, the way that scene is done, with the curtain and music in the background and the language/code-switching the moment he drops the disguise is SO satisfyingly done.

And the choices in what style of Telugu is used by whom throughout the film is DELIGHT to explore. I absolutely love this lil detail tbh, the attention paid to language in this film. <3

#dialects and style of speaking does a lot of characerisation in many telugu films actually #i have only recently started properly paying attention to this and i'm loving it #also i am so used to calling [the historical figure] Ramaraju/Seetha Ramaraju #that I had to consciously keep correcting myself and calling [the character] just Raju‚ heh #anyway! good stuff #rrr #placeholder tag #never thought telugu films would end up on this blog but here we are #unexpected!

It's addicting, the way you look at me

Like I'm something to be saved.

Like coffee from my tongue will be sweeter,

Like blood from your lips will be ambrosia

You look at me like you know me better than I know myself

(it's the truth)

You look at me like you would upend the world for me

(you already have)

It's written in my bones,

It's written in your tendons

It's written in the space between us.

If I'm to be saved,

It is only by your hand.

If I'm to be damned,

It is only by your wrath.

rrr asks the question: out of two powerful epic warriors who are on opposing sides and represent different elements, who would win in a fight?

and the answer is: wrong, they're holding hands and kicking your ass

reading an article about RRR for French at them same time that Naatu Naatu plays in the background is a whole ass mood.

so like... do we see ram smile ONCE, outside the context of bheem? like in the whole film, clocking in at 187 minutes, is there one single instance of him smiling where bheem isn't directly responsible?

#i just rewatched the scene where he says goodbye to seetha 'cause i thought SURELY #but nope #rrr #rambheem #ram/bheem #am i wrong??? i could be wrong

throughout elementary school and middle school i used to get teased a lot for listening to more telugu songs than english songs because it was “weird.” now one of those telugu songs is going to be performed live at hollywood’s biggest award show where it’s also nominated for best original song. oh how the turntables

EDIT: it won. a telugu song. won an oscar. those turntables are fucking strong

ajin is so good on so many levels but i am particularly interested in the philosophical and ethical implications it raises from the doing away with death

#ITS SO GOOD RRR #something i might actually want to write about #as a warmup. or practice #but grrr ajin and its many implications #its the perfect intersection of everything i care abt #medicine - research meta - security - ontology - ethics - public health - interpersonal relations - technology - law/policy - media #like at its core its a very action oriented manga but i think the questions it raises is a lot more interesting than anything #ajin as a very complex thought experiment from many disciplinary angles #pleasr talk to me if u have any thoughts 🙏 #ajin #or like. r interested in seeing this happen from me #annoying philosophy guys gotta write

My Loveletter to the RRR fandom

I can't find the right words to express my love and gratitude to this particular fandom.

It was and is the first fandom I joined. And with that, a lot of first times came a long.

It was the first time I messaged an artist, because I was impressed with their fanart. It was the first time I read a fanfiction. It is the first time I simp with other fans about actors and their characters. It is the first time I actually follow celebrity news about certain actors.

I wrote my first fanfiction ever, I sewed plush dolls, I created christmas ornaments, I drew fanart and so on. There are still a lot of plans, ideas and wips.

All because of the amazing and supportive guys in the RRR fandom. I made new friends, I learned a lot about foreign cultures, I even cooked indian food and India made it on top of my travel wishlist.

There is so much to say. So much to thank for.

All in all, it was one of the best decisions (If not THE best) I made last year.

You guys make me smile every single day. If I feel down, I'll find myself browsing the Discord server or Tumblr. Everyday I am impressed by you. All your Talent, creativity and positive vibes.

I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!!!

#darkey and her thoughts #rrr #rrr fandom had a big part #rrr fandom is the best #you are the best #i love you guys

If I had a rupee for everytime I’ve watched alia bhatt in a movie where the main two guys have a surprising amount of chemistry that went under-utilised, I’d have two rupees. Which isn’t a lot but it’s surprising it’s happened twice
