>> Golden Globes 2023 Nominations announced, ‘RRR’ bags two

After scandal and boycott plunged the Hollywood Foreign Press Association into disarray and knocked its annual award show off television for a year, the Golden Globes is returning, and the nominations for the year were announced on Monday. Black comedy ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ and the multiverse mash-up ‘Everything Everywhere all at Once’ have received the maximum number of nominations

SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ has been nominated for two Golden Globe awards: in the Best Picture non-English language category, and Best Original Song for ‘Naatu Naatu’.

Earlier, ‘RRR’ bagged five nominations for Critics Choice Awards — for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language film, Best Visual Effects and Best Song. The film’s music composer MM Keeravaani should be on cloud nine, as he also won best music score at Los Angeles Film Critics Association award.

>> Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ faces ban in Madhya Pradesh over Deepika Padukone’s costumes

The video song of ‘Besharam Rang’ from Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Pathaan’ created controversy after Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra criticised the makers for Deepika’s costumes in the song and hinted at a ban for the film in the state if the “visuals weren’t corrected.”

“The outfits that have been worn in the song are prima facie highly objectionable. It is clear that polluted minds are behind filming this song. In any case, Deepika ji has been a supporter of the tukde-tukde gang in the JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) incident. That is why I would like to request that they should correct the visuals of the song, correct the costumes, or else the permission to release this film in MP should be given or not is a thinkable question,” Mishra told journalists.
