Get it.

Take that, superstars. RRR,the action movie about Indian revolutionaries, beat out household names Lady Gaga and Rihanna for the Best Original Song Oscar at the 2023 Academy Awards for the song “Naatu Naatu.” That makes it the first song from an Indian film to win the award. The song was written by lyricist Chandrabose and composer M.M. Keeravani, who delivered a beautiful little ditty in his acceptance speech. Anyone who was confused by these smaller names triumphing over the superstars should be satiated in terms of explanation by the great performance of the song that appeared during the ceremony. It was fun! It was exciting! It was sharp and well choreographed! And with that, we bid you a good night-u night-u.
