LET’S ‘NAATU NAATU’

The Oscars, the greatest and most prestigious awards show in the world, presented prizes in 24 categories, including best film, best actress, original screenplay, cinematography, production design, costume design, makeup and hairstyling, and others. In the same episode, India celebrated two big wins at the Oscars marking the historic win of 'RRR' and 'The Elephant Whisperers', which has been etched in golden letters in the history of Indian cinema. The iconic dance song from SS Rajamouli's big-budget film "RRR," "Naatu Naatu," won Best Original Song at the 95th Academy Awards, beating heavyweights like Lady Gaga and Rihanna, giving India a significant representation at the Oscars.

India and 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' both shone at the 95th Academy Awards, where 'Best Original Song' went to RRR's Naatu Naatu, and 'Best Documentary Short film category' went to The Elephant Whisperers. The documentary, which tells the story of a couple who care for an injured baby elephant after it gets separated from its herd, is the first Indian production to win in this category. However, India's big win remained Naatu Naatu (a Telugu word which means raw or rustic), a thumping song that has got people around the world grooving to its beats.
