For the first time in the 95th Oscar ceremony, India has received two awards for the first time. The song Naatu Naatu from the film RRR won the award for Best Original Song. At the same time, The Elephant Whispers became the Best Documentary Short Film. However, the documentary feature film All That Breathes has dropped out of the race. India got nominations in these three categories in the Oscar Awards.
Natu-Natu had earlier received the title of Best Original Song at the Golden Globes Awards. Chandrabose and composer MM Keerwani, who wrote RRR’s Natu-Natu song at the Oscar ceremony, took the trophy. During this, the director of the film, Rajamouli, remained seated behind. The Telugu meaning of RRR is Roudram Ranam Rudhiram and Rise Roar Revolt in Hindi.
Kartiki Gonsalves, director of The Elephant Whispers and producer Guneet Monga received the award for Best Short Documentary. During this, Deepika Padukone present in the ceremony became emotional. She had arrived as the presenter of the ceremony. According to Indian time, the Oscar ceremony started at 5.30 am on Monday morning in Los Angeles, USA.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted and congratulated the makers of RRR and The Elephant Whispers. He said- ‘Extraordinary! The popularity of ‘Naatu Naatu’ is global. This is one song that will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations to the entire team including MM Keerwani and Chandrabose for this honor. India is elated and proud.
