Oscars 2023 will be special for India for three reasons.
The song Naatu Naatu from S S Rajamouli’s RRR has been nominated in the Best Original Song category at the 95th Academy Awards.
Earlier, Naatu Naatu bagged a Golden Globe in the Best Original Song category, followed by a Critics Choice Award win in the same category.
The film bagged the Best Foreign Language Film at the Critics Choice Award too.
Rajamouli hoped that the film would bag a nomination in the Best Picture category, but that was not to be.
That’s not all.
Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes bagged a nomination in the Best Documentary Feature Film category while Kartiki Gonsalves’ The Elephant Whisperers bagged a nom in the Best Documentary Short Film category.
Pan Nalin’s Chello Show unfortunately lost out in the Best International Film category.
