Naatu Naatu, the foot-tapping hit from SS Rajamouli’s ”RRR”, danced its way to the best original song-motion picture win at the Golden Globes, but the Telugu blockbuster lost out to ”Argentina, 1985” in the best picture-non English category, reported NDTV.
Other nominees in the category include All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany), Close (Belgium), and Decision to Leave (South Korea).
RRR is being represented at the Golden Globe Awards by its director and stars – SS Rajamouli, Jr NTR and Ram Charan who is accompanied by his wife Upasana Kamineni. Jr NTR and Ram Charan play freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju in the period drama, set in British-occupied India in the 1920s. The cast includes Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn as well as British actors Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody and Olivia Morris.
RRR, which made over 1,200 crore rupees globally, has already won a slew of international honours including Best Director for Rajamouli at the New York Film Critics Circle awards. RRR has submitted itself for consideration in various Oscar categories as well and is expected to be nominated in at least one category if not more, reads the report.
The Golden Globes are being held in Los Angeles with comedian Jerrod Carmichael as host. The awards return to the Hollywood mainstream after making internal reforms following criticism of its allegedly racist and sexist voting practices. Last year’s Golden Globes were boycotted by NBC, which broadcasts the show, and many of Hollywood’s big stars led by Tom Cruise, who returned his three Globes. (NDTV)
