During the 95th Academy Awards, the widely popular track Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR, which won the award for Best Original Song, was performed by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava. The audience was deeply moved by the performance and gave it a standing ovation. To add to the splendor, the performance was introduced by Deepika Padukone. It was truly an Oscar-worthy performance.
She said, "An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this song a global sensation. It plays during a pivotal scene in RRR, a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. In addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film's anti-colonialist themes, it's also a total banger."
She added, "It's earned millions of views on Youtube and Tik Tok. Has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world and is also the first song ever from Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar. Do you know Naatu? Because if you don't you're about to. From the film RRR this is Naatu Naatu."
