RRR prides itself on being the first Indian feature film to receive an Oscar. Its song “Naatu Naatu by MM Keeravani bagged the Best Original Song Award at the 95th Academy Awards.

RRR was one of the biggest Indian films of last year, which broke several records at the box office. The big-ticket film was directed by SS Rajamouli and had a star-studded cast, including Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgan, among many more.
