The RRRoar gets louder. Days after the coveted Golden Globe win, the SS Rajamouli creation continues to script history with its latest wins at the prestigious Critics Choice Awards (CCA), winning Best Song, for M.M. Keeravani’s Naatu Naatu and Best Foreign Language film at CCA. This follows its recent win at the LA Film Critics Association in the Best Music category for Naatu Naatu.

Exclusively available on ZEE5 Global (www.zee5.com) across the US, UK, Canada, MENA, and other international markets in the Original audio language Telugu, the magnum opus is an absolute must-watch for anyone to get the most authentic feel of the film’s power-packed action and riveting storyline. With English subtitles making it an easily accessible watch, the film is also available on the streaming service in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.


Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global, said, "ZEE5 Global has always been at the forefront of taking real and authentic stories from South Asia to the world. It now gives us great joy to see the love pouring in for the film with RRR’s historic wins at multiple prestigious global awards. The authentic flavour of the movie comes alive only in the Original language Telugu version which is streaming on ZEE5, and is an absolute must-watch for viewers across the globe to experience the film’s true essence first-hand.”

RRR’s winning streak marks a new era for South Asian entertainment. In 2022 alone, the film amassed 1000 Million streaming minutes in the first 10 days of the launch on ZEE5, trending #1 in all 4 languages. It became a humongous hit not only in India but all across the globe.

A Literary Celebration of Culture and Identity: Manzu Islam to Launch ‘Godzilla and the Songbird’ at Saudha International Literature Festival

Manzu Islam Launches 'Godzilla and the Songbird'

  • On Saturday, 14 June, literary lovers, cultural critics and curious minds alike will gather at the historic Kobi Nazrul Centre in London’s East End for a standout event in the UK’s literary calendar—the launch of Godzilla and the Songbird, the latest book by acclaimed British Asian author Manzu Islam. Hosted as part of the prestigious Saudha International Literature Festival, the event promises to be an evening of dialogue, creativity and cultural resonance. Situated at 30 Hanbury Street, the Kobi Nazrul Centre offers the perfect setting for this multicultural celebration, named after the revered Bengali poet and playing a key role in London's intercultural arts scene.
  • Godzilla and the Songbird marks a compelling new addition to Manzu Islam’s growing body of work. Known for weaving deeply personal narratives with broader themes of diaspora, migration and dual identity, Islam is celebrated for his poetic voice and insightful prose. His latest novel is expected to push these boundaries further, exploring contradictions within modern life—between power and vulnerability, tradition and change, survival and artistic expression. Though full plot details are under wraps, the intriguing title itself suggests a rich metaphorical journey, likely combining mythological symbols with emotional depth.
  • This book launch isn’t merely a reading—it’s an occasion that aligns with Saudha Society for Poetry and Indian Music’s mission to break genre boundaries and nurture cross-cultural understanding. The Saudha International Literature Festival has earned a strong reputation for spotlighting global voices while fostering home-grown British talent, particularly those from South Asian backgrounds. By hosting Manzu Islam’s book release, the festival underlines its commitment to literary excellence that resonates across communities and continents.
  • Attendees can expect more than just a book signing. The event will likely feature readings, reflections from the author, and open discussions that invite the audience to engage with themes central to the novel and to the contemporary British Asian experience. Whether you're an academic interested in postcolonial narratives, a student of South Asian literature, or a local reader seeking meaningful cultural experiences, this event offers something profoundly enriching.
  • Manzu Islam has long been a voice of insight and integrity in British literature. His work has appeared in a variety of anthologies, and he has contributed essays, stories, and critiques that have shaped how British South Asian identity is represented in fiction today. This book launch is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the author in an intimate and culturally vibrant setting.
  • Admission to the event is free, though advance booking is highly recommended to secure a place. Tickets and further event information can be found at Eventbrite. As London continues to thrive as a multicultural hub for the arts, events like this remind us of the power of storytelling in shaping collective identity and community connection.
  • Don’t miss this literary highlight of the season—join Manzu Islam, Saudha Society, and a host of literature enthusiasts at the Kobi Nazrul Centre on Saturday, 14 June for an unforgettable evening that celebrates words, wisdom and the woven fabric of modern British life.
