Positive predictions flowing in for RRR's 'Naatu Naatu' ahead of Oscars 2023

HYDERABAD: The Indian film community is curious to see if RRR wins big at the Oscars 2023. We all know that the 'Naatu Naatu' song from the film RRR is nominated for best original song. The song features Jr NTR and Ram Charan, and it has been a viral sensation. MM Keeravani is the music director of the film. Many major international publications have predicted that the song could be awarded the Oscar.

Unsurprisingly, a film like RRR with heavy mass elements is becoming a big success in the country. But, what surprised everyone was its success in the west. RRR is easily one of the best films released in 2022. Many Indian and International media houses have announced big awards for the film already. The movie even caught everyone's attention by becoming the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan since its release in late October.

Director SS Rajamouli won the Best Director award at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards in January, and The New Yorker describes it as "[a] joyously over-the-top action-fantasy," while Rolling Stone declares it the "best – and most revolutionary – blockbuster of 2022". Variety called it "a movie-music adrenaline blast," and Naatu Naatu, the song from the movie, made Indian cinema history by winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

With an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song and a scheduled performance at the Academy Awards ceremony this Monday, everyone eagerly awaits the big night. Naatu Naatu is the first ever Telugu song to reach the Oscars, and we predict that it has a fair chance of winning at the event.

Naatu Naatu is not just a typical mass number but also conveys a beautiful story. Technically and visually, the song is top-notch and is one of the major reasons it became viral instantly. With a lot of buzz around the film already, the Oscar can only add beauty to the film, and it is the only song among the nominations that gained immense popularity in less time.

People in India can watch the Oscars live from 5.30 am on March 13. It will be streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar.
