For the uninitiated, ZEE5 is a streaming service for Indian films and television shows, and they are the ones with the licensing deal to stream “RRR” in Telugu. You could also watch it dubbed into Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, though I would of course always suggest you watch the original. Whenever I would mention to friends that it was possible to watch “RRR” on ZEE5 the way it was meant to be seen, people would get excited but then see the price point and the excitement would fade. For the longest time, the lowest option available was $20.99 for 3 months. While that breaks into a pretty reasonable $6.99 a month, that is an awfully high upfront cost, especially if your intention is to only watch one movie on there.
Well, at some point since I first signed up for ZEE5 to now, they have adjusted their pricing structure to a monthly fee, which is now $9.99 a month. That is a far more cost-effective number for many people, and if you want to pay annually, it’s only $59.99. I know many are used to Netflix and feel like it’s free (which it isn’t), but if you want to see one of the best movies of 2022 the way it was supposed to be seen, the chance to do so has never been more affordable. As a bonus, you’ll also have access to a wide-ranging streaming service that will expose you to a variety of Indian cinema. Who knows? You may be keeping that service after you watch “RRR” because you like it so much. It’s at least worth a month’s trial, and if you only want to watch “RRR,” the monthly fee is still cheaper than a movie ticket.
