SS Rajamouli directed RRR is a 2022 Telugu language movie that is currently stealing all the thunder from the Pongal/Sankranthi movie releases. Reason: The movie won one of the two golden globe awards it was nominated for, highlighting India on the international forum. 

RRR's Naatu Naatu took home the trophy for 'Best original song' for which composer MM Keeravani, and singers Kala Bhairava and Rahul Silpiganj were nominated for. They were nominated alongside international musical royalties - Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Gregory Mann. Naatu Naatu is the first Asian/ Indian song to receive this Golden Globe award.

Thanking his brother and RRR director S. S. Rajamouli, actors Jr NTR, Ram Charan, and the song’s lyricist, co-composers, programmers, and scene animator, MM Keeravani said in his acceptance speech:

“I’m very much overwhelmed with this great moment happening,..It’s been an age-old practice to say that this award actually belongs to someone else. So I was planning to not say those words when I get an award like this, but I’m sorry to say I’m going to repeat the tradiiton because I mean my words.”

 

Prominent celebrities from all over India have since registered their online praise for Keeravani and the entire team behind RRR. 

THANK YOU Keeravani and Rajamouli for making us proud and bringing home the Golden Globe for Indian cinema.@mmkeeravaani @ssrajamouli
