In a proud moment for India, SS Rajamouli's film RRR scripted history at the Golden Globes 2023 Award after its song Naatu Naatu won the 80th edition of the Golden Globe awards in the best original song–motion picture category. RRR's Naatu Naatu is originally a Telugu track composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and penned by Kala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj. The fast-paced song in the movie was performed by the lead actor N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan. Now, SS Rajamouli's Golden Globes 2023 video has been going viral.
In the viral video, it can be seen tensions were prevailing in the auditorium when Wednesday star Jena Ortega came to announce the winner. As soon as Jena announced that Naatu Naatu has scripted history, filmmaker SS Rajamouli along with Ram Charan and Jr. NTR jumped into jubilation while applause echoed in the entire building.

In the Best Original Song category, "Naatu Naatu" song was competing against – ‘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. The 80th edition of the Golden Globe Awards was held in Los Angeles on January 11 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
For the unversed, RRR starred Ram Charan and Jr NTR as two freedom fighters, while Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, and Shriya Saran played pivotal roles. The movie s currently expected to compete at the Oscars 2023, but it will happen only if it makes its place in India's official entry. In case it is selected, the film is expected to compete in the Best International Film category.
It is pertinent to mention that earlier in 2009, singer-music director A R Rahman became the first Indian to win a Golden Globe for the film 'Slumdog Millionaire.'
