The love for SS Rajamouli's RRR has been overwhelming even more since the film crossed national boundaries to become an internationally recognised blockbuster.

Earlier, we had names like JJ Abrams, James Gunn, Edgar Wright, Joe Russo, and Scott Derickson praising the film, which made all the right noises in the West, especially considering the Oscar push behind the film, backed by DVV Entertainment. 

The latest to join this long list of admirers is Oscar winner Jessica Chastain, who took to Twitter to share her love for the film. 

In a succinctly worded tweet, Chastain said, "Watching this film was such a party." 

Apart from the love from celebrities and audiences alike in the West, RRR is also winning awards left, right, and centre across many of the prestigious awards. Recently, SS Rajamouli received the Best Director award from New York Film Critics Circle. 

Also starring Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, RRR made it to the shortlist of the Academy Awards in the Best Song category work for Naatu Naatu

Incidentally, the film has also made it to the longlist at the upcoming BAFTA awards. It is also in the running in two categories (Best Non-English Film and Best Original Song) at The Golden Globes.
