While the film's anti-colonial premise aligns with left-leaning critiques of oppression, its dominant themes of national pride, traditional heroism, and the solution of violent individual action against an external oppressor align more closely with right-leaning values.
The film features a cast predominantly composed of Indian actors, reflecting its historical setting in British colonial India, without engaging in race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative strongly critiques traditional colonial power structures by explicitly portraying white British figures as antagonists, making the anti-colonial struggle a central and explicit theme.
The film portrays the British colonialists, implicitly Christian, as cruel, oppressive, and unjust antagonists. Their actions are depicted as fundamentally evil, with no counterbalancing positive portrayal or nuance related to their faith, thus condemning their adherents.
The film's protagonists, Ram and Bheem, are deeply rooted in Hindu cultural and mythological contexts. Ram's character is explicitly linked to Hindu deities and iconography, embodying virtues of righteousness and sacrifice, aligning the narrative with the dignity and heroism of figures inspired by the faith.
The heroic character Bheem adopts a Muslim identity (Akhtar) as a disguise, which is portrayed as a clever and effective means to achieve his goals. This depiction, alongside the film's overarching theme of unity and brotherhood, implicitly shows respect for the identity without negative framing.
RRR does not explicitly feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The intense bond between the two male leads, while interpreted by some as having queer subtext, is presented within the narrative as a profound friendship, not an explicitly LGBTQ+ relationship.
The film does not feature any significant female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents. Female characters primarily serve supportive or narrative roles, without participating in close-quarters fights.
