A: Think of it as Bollywood’s answer to the Avengers! This latest installment brings together an all-star police force including Ajay Devgn’s Singham, Ranveer’s Simmba, Akshay’s Sooryavanshi, and newcomers Deepika and Tiger. It’s essentially a masala-multiverse where sunglasses are mandatory, slow-motion walks are a currency, and every cop has apparently graduated from the School of Dramatic Entrances.

A: Ever wondered how they convinced that tiger to dance? Okay, maybe not, but “RRR: Behind & Beyond” promises to reveal how Rajamouli and team created those jaw-dropping scenes that had global audiences going “wait, what?” From bromance choreography to gravity-defying stunts, this documentary offers a peek into how Indian cinema’s biggest spectacle came together.
