Now that is an Oscar-worthy performance
At the 95th Academy Awards, singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava performed to the insanely viral track and Best Original Song nominee Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR. The performance received a standing ovation from the audience. Now that is an Oscar-worthy performance. Bonus - Deepika Padukone introduced the performance. She said, "An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this song a global sensation. It plays during a pivotal scene in 'RRR', a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. In addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film's anti-colonialist themes, it's also a total banger." .@jimmykimmel#Oscars95#Oscars#RRRMovie#NaatuNaatupic.twitter.com/FoITckdJBa Standing ovation for #NaatuNaatu Performance at the #Oscars95#RRRMoviepic.twitter.com/kDwMNfnLM8
She added, "It's earned millions of views on Youtube and Tik Tok. Has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world and is also the first song ever from Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar. Do you know Naatu? Because if you don't you're about to. From the film RRR this is Naatu Naatu."
