Telugu song Naatu Naatu is up against heavyweights like Lady Gaga and Rihanna at the 2023 Academy Awards.

Nearly a year after its release, the song is still going strong with the audiences. In past interviews, the director has confessed that people called him "crazy" for shooting in a country on the verge of war. Ram Charan and NTR Jr then turn to take on each other and a dance competition between the two heroes follows. Since the film's release last year, fans have been trying to replicate the intricate foot swivels and catchy dance moves. Rakshit said he made 30 versions of the signature step in which NTR Jr and Ram Charan dance with their arms around each other. "Each of them [the actors] have their own style," Rajamouli said in an earlier interview.

'Naatu Naatu' From 'RRR' Wins Best Original Song (The New York Times)

The rollicking dance hit beat out two songs featuring American pop megastars.

Written by Diane Warren, the song, [“Applause,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAHorHpPqb4) would have been a major victory for the songwriter after 13 previous nominations in the same category and no wins. The nominated song from “Everything Everywhere” was “This Is a Life,” by the indie-rock band Son Lux, featuring Mitski and David Byrne. [“Tell It Like a Woman,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOREIAfmj_o) which features seven short stories with female protagonists, some of them fictional and some inspired by true events. The hymnlike ballad with a prominent string section was the pop star’s first Rahman’s tune for the British-made “Slumdog Millionaire” — but it is the first from an Indian production. It’s about everything that happened in our own country, in our own village; something you cherish for life.”
