Late Night with Seth Meyers

[dineshkadam]

An year ago RRR glimpse was released with caption "Bringing back the glory of Indian Cinema" the film lived upto it. SS Rajamouli garu is pride of Indian cinema 🇮🇳

[FamilyManRan]

SSR is first Indian represented for Indian movie in late night shows. Earlier ishwarya rai, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika attended but for Hollywood movie promotions. I am so proud !!!

[carmengomez]

I'm a Spanish citizen and before this movie I knew about Bollywood movies but not about Tollywood. This movie has introduced me to an entire movie industry that I never knew before and I love it. Thank you so much!❤️❤️

[KaYnBaE]

So touching to see an Indian artist and filmmaker achieve global recognition without showing poverty in his movies but just entertainment. He stayed true to Indian cinema and got the world’s attention.

[Christine]

I just love his energy. He has no mask or persona..Just kind heart and intelligent mind ❤️

[hakukuze]

Love how Seth always has exposes lesser known people to the US audience with such respect and adoration. He is so humble and kind too, something nice to see these days.

[bitik]

We Japanese know him from 2009, North indians know him at 2017, Western audience in 2022.
Telugi cinema is something else 🔥

[sergemerto]

Ss Rajamouli's biggest strength which I have realized through his movies is the emotions he evokes within people through his action sequences 🔥🔥

[AriaIsara]

9 years ago I became a fan of SSR after watching Magadheera and Eega back to back. These movies made me explore Telugu cinema (I'm French and had been watching Bollywood for 3 years prior to that). Back then most north Indians didn't even know who he was! To see him having this recognition in the US is surreal and awesome. He is making history for Indian cinema. Of all the Indian filmmakers that could have had a hit in the west I'm so glad it's him! 👏👏👏

[normalhuman]

Rajamouli deserves it. What a man, what a movie!

[shaneerk.j]

I am from Kerala.. but I am proud to be south indian. because first time an Indian director invited for an American talk show as part of an Indian movie..

[gentlemancorpse]

Just watched RRR, genuinely one of the most exciting cinema moments I've had in the last 10 years. Immediately spread it to my friends and family, and watching their reactions has been gold. Thank you. 🙏

[shivamshresthi]

What a guy. No pretense, no bragging and humble to the core. Even after having achieved so much.

[kirtidakshamani]

Being a Telugu, I am speechless today. This guy made telgites and Indians proud ❤

[TiaraBenvenutti]

Went to a screening of this film and got to experience it with a crowd of people - it wound up being one of my favorite theater experiences in my entire life. So much energy, such amazing music, it was infectious.

[aswini]

I wish Bahubali was recognized this way too! That movie was one of the first one to be so rooted in Indian culture and had actually paved the way for Indian cinema at such a global level...even more than Slumdog Milionaire
congratulations RRR team! Rajamouli sir had it coming since a long time! Best wishes to Kantara movie for the Oscars 🇮🇳❤

[srilekha]

I'm a Telugu guy who watches hollywood actors and actresses in these kind of shows. It's a moment of pride to see a Telugu guy getting interviewed.

[tarfre]

A bunch of my friends and I watched RRR on New Year's Eve at the recommendation of two of my friends (one Indian and one not). We originally only planned to watch the first 40 minutes, but we ended up watching the whole 3 hours because the movie was such a joy to watch. We did take a break in the middle to watch the ball drop in New York, but we quickly returned to the real entertainment of the night. Thank you, S. S., for creating this incredible film!

[alibukhari]

Even as a Pakistani I feel proud of the crew who made this film. Big Congratulations to our brothers on the other side.

[andyyoungstuff]

Just saw it for a 3rd time in theaters (in IMAX at Chinese Theater) and it somehow just keeps getting better. If you can see it on a big screen, GOOO!!!
