[Video description: The "Naatu Naatu" dancing scene from popular movie RRR. The heads of the characters are replaced by the cards from the Nadu, Winged Wisdom MTG Modern deck]
Edit: Forgot to mention, shamelessly stolen from @seyannma on Twitter
Watched RRR for the first time a week ago and I'm continuing to be veryyyy normal about it.
So in the spirit of sharing some good stuff, I'm gonna put this in the tag for the small fandom...
Here is the original Telugu version of the movie + English audio for the white actors + English subs, combined and shared on Google Drive by someone on Reddit.
Here is a ZIP file of the full soundtrack, including the vocal songs (in Telugu only) and the instrumental OST.
Under the cut are screenshots of how I organized the tracks for myself to slot the vocal songs in story order amidst the OST in case that's helpful for anyone else.
You know what's a SUPERIOR TROPE? Enemies AND lovers that are unconfirmed but have that homoerotic energy where you can't deny they're gay where one of them is on the side of society's justice/morals and the other is on the side of their own justice/morals so that's the only reason why they're enemies and they're represented by opposite elements/colors.
Believe it or not, I've found 5 different types of media Like That™
You were wrong. Those bitches in RRR ain't gay. Homosexuality does not even begin to describe the shit that's going on between them. I am so disappointed in you. Now excuse me as I think about this movie till the heat death of the universe

Okay, I know it’s a mosquito net, but there’s something so gay about Ram’s bed canopy, especially with all the romantic, boudoir-style closeup shots that happen around it.
Honestly, Ram’s entire flat looks like some kind of Oscar Wilde level gay dandy professor homo bookworm heaven. No straight man can interior decorate like this!
It just makes me appreciate the attention to detail in RRR. This set was lovingly built and furnished to deepen the viewer’s understanding of Ram, and I feel like that’s something that’s totally gone in modern Hollywood. So many residential sets in American movies are sparse, minimalist, cold, clinical, barren. This set feels so much more REAL! It’s warm, lived in, and it tells me a lot about the man who occupies it. It’s not only more beautiful to look at, it’s more useful to the characterization. ESPECIALLY when you contrast it with Bheem’s intro sequence, what his home looks like. You can really feel how differently the two men had been living before they met in the middle.
Take this shot of Bheem sat comfortably on the floor while Ram stays in his wooden chair. This tells me SO MUCH about Ram’s internalized colonization and Bheem’s enduring connection to his roots.
And this shot of Bheem lovingly gazing at Ram asleep at his desk, with that tiny moment of confusion as Bheem tries to understand the words printed on the pages that surround him. The messy set is essential to my understanding of their dynamic! There are things which consume Ram that Bheem cannot understand.
Back to the canopy: Why is this shot so fucking sexy???? The intimate lighting, the delicate, diaphanous quality of the canopy and how it softens Bheem’s features… The camera treats this canopy like a wedding veil, not a functional mosquito net. It brings us into Ram’s bed with Bheem in such an erotic way… I fucking cannot get over it!!!!!
Anyway, I love Ram, I love his gay flat, and I love his mosquito net princess bed canopy. Fighting malaria AND serving interior design? You love to see it!
