Naatu Naatu went from being a song in the Telugu movie RRR to being the most-watched Telugu song, the song to cross 1 million views the fastest, to making it to the Oscar nomination ranking, and finally winning the Oscar.
Naatu Naatu competed against heavyweights like Lady Gaga and Rihanna on its way to the Oscars. The streets of Los Angeles echoed with Naatu Naatu on March 13, 2023, as the entire world stood there and acknowledged how beautifully the song was written and choreographed.
The song is loved by the audience, there are numerous reasons why – the song was written by Chandra Bose with his memories of childhood, they put efforts for nearly two years to write the song and most importantly the writers of the song were given enough freedom to write when Rajamouli said “sing about yourself, your strength, your struggle, whatever you want to sing.
