'Naatu Naatu,' the peppy track from S S Rajamouli's blockbuster movie 'RRR,' has won the Golden Globes for Best Original Song. This makes the Telugu movie a hot favourite to win the Oscars too where it has been nominated for the same category.
Music director MM Keeravani, and singers Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj were nominated in this category.
As soon as the award was announced by actress Jenny Ortega, team RRR erupted in celebrations. Keeravani accepted the award for the team and thanked the team and his family.
Other nominations in the Best Original Song category were ‘Carolina’ (Taylor Swift) from Where the Crawdads Sing, ‘Ciao Papa’ (Alexandre Desplat, Roeban Katz, and Guillermo del Toro) – Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, ‘Hold My Hand’ (Lady Gaga, BloodPop, and Benjamin Rice) – Top Gun: Maverick and ‘Lift Me Up’ (Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Göransson) – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
RRR is also in contention for the Best Non-English Language Film at the Golden Globes. But, here it is pitted against Germany’s All Quiet on the Western Front, considered to be the favourite to win the award.
