Composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and penned by Chandrabose, Naatu Naatu is a Telugu song from Rajamouli's celebrated period action blockbuster RRR.
Earlier this year, the track -- which translates to bucolic in Telugu and demonstrates the spirit of fun in country music in over 4.35 breathless minutes of song and dance -- won the Golden Globe Award and a Critics Choice Award.

RRR follows a pre-Independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries - Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem - in the 1920s. The film stars Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead as well as Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, and Shriya Saran in key roles.
The lavishly mounted epic is the first Indian film in over two decades to be nominated for the Academy Awards.
Besides RRR, Indian documentaries such as All That Breathes by Shaunak Sen and The Elephant Whisperers by Karthiki Gonsalves are also nominated at the 2023 Academy Awards in the best documentary feature and best documentary short segments, respectively.
