RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, made history by being the first Indian film to win a Golden Globe.
At the ongoing ceremony for Naatu Naatu, RRR was named Best Original Song. The song’s lyrics were written by Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj, and its music was created by MM Keeravaani.
The song entered the competition as the underdog because Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and director-singer Guillermo del Toro were also in the race. The crowd-pleasing action-drama-musical “RRR” has surpassed cult status to garner serious awards attention, although interest in the film has increased in recent weeks.
The Golden Globe was picked up by composer-songwriter M.M. Keeravani, who thanked his lyricists, arranger, family and director-writer S.S. Rajamouli. The song’s Globes win increases anticipation that “Naatu” will become the rare song by Indian composers to get an Oscar nomination later this month; it already made the Academy’s 15-song shortlist.
Keeravani was evidently thinking about the most recent instalment of “RRR’s” peculiar voyage around Hollywood backstage at the Globes.
“I feel amused, thrilled, excited,” he said. “I feel I am very grateful to the universe.”
Of “Naatu Naatu,” Keervani explained, “it’s a song of celebration. We all wanted to showcase in the song lots of stamina and energy.”
