Scripting history for South Asian entertainment, mega-blockbuster RRR was awarded the prestigious Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu at the Golden Globe Awards 2023. The song, created by composer-songwriter M.M. Keeravani, became a sensation across India and beyond as it showcased the movie’s widely popular Telugu stars, Jr NTR and Ram Charan, feet-tapping to the song’s groovy music in the period action drama created by S.S. Rajamouli. The stars feature as freedom fighters in a period drama set in British-occupied India in the 1920s. This historic win marks the second time a song crafted in India has won at the Golden Globe Awards.

In 2022 alone, film amassed 1000 Million streaming minutes in the first 10 days of the launch, trending #1 in all 4 languages on ZEE5 Global.
While accepting the award on stage, composer MM Keeravani said, “Thank you very much HFPA for this prestigious award. I am very much overwhelmed by this great moment. I am excited to share this with my wife, who is sitting right there. It’s been an age-old practice to say that this award actually belongs to someone else. I was planning not to say those words when I got an award like this. But sorry to say, I am going to repeat the tradition because I mean my words. This award belongs to – in order of priority my brother and director of the movie SS Rajamouli, for his vision. I thank him for his constant trust in my work and support.”
Actress Alia Bhatt, who played a cameo role in the film also reacted to the big win on social media. Oscar-winning composer, AR Rahman, called the win a ‘paradigm shift’ while superstar Chiranjeevi regarded the win as ‘a Phenomenal, Historic Achievement.’
