SS Rajamouli's drama RRR has indeed done the unthinkable. RRR, the Jr NTR, Ram Charan starrer, which commenced as a quintessential Telugu film with all the beats of a mainstream entertainer and was made with utmost conviction, is now conquering the globe. One of the main reasons behind its global appeal is also the filmmaker's effort to cater it to a local audience without being distracted by its scale.
Earlier today, Naatu Naatu from RRR became the first Indian song to be shortlisted for the Oscars under the Original Song category. Fans of actors Jr NTR and Ram Charan are naturally proud of RRR's feat on a global platform and took to Twitter to share their happiness. From Prem Rakshith's choreography to Jr NTR, Ram Charan's effortless dancing and the terrific conceptualisation, netizens shared their favourite moments from the song in a series of tweets. Here's what they said.
Naatu Naatu as a song does a lot of things right - the lead-up to the number, as a showcase of Indian culture and roots, ensures the right emotional foundation. Chandrabose's lyrics paint an authentic picture of India through the protagonist's love for the soil, traditions, festivals and the imaginative choreography celebrates this idea with great gusto. Bringing together two of the best dancers in Indian cinema together, Naatu Naatu is as good a dance number you can get in a mass film.
RRR, as a film, is a great blend of an Indian perspective with the right sophistication to reach out to a global audience. The song that wins under the Original Song category at the Oscars is conventionally performed at the awards ceremony as well. Will Jr NTR and Ram Charan get to perform Naatu at the Oscars? All eyes are on the final list of nominations and one can't wait for the D-day.
