The SS Rajamouli film has been written by KV Vijayendra Prasad. It also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris. It is a fictional story about Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR), who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad, respectively.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on Monday, "#RRR #Hindi is sensational, biz jumps on Day 3... First *Hindi* Film to cross ₹30 cr in a single day [pandemic era]... Mass centres Exceptional... SupeRRRb trending gives hope for a strong Day 4 [Mon]... Fri 19 cr, Sat 24 cr, Sun 31.50 cr. Total: ₹74.50 cr. #India biz."

The Hindi version of the film had released at the domestic box office with an opening of ₹19 crore. It showed little growth on Saturday with a collection of ₹24 crore.

As it released in theatres on Friday, it recorded the best opening day performance by any Indian film of all time. With a global collection of ₹257 crore, RRR went on to beat SS Rajamouli's previous release Baahubali: The Conclusion, which had earned ₹224 crore on day one.
