‘Naatu Naatu’ – composed by Rajamouli’s cousin and musician MM Keeravaani – beat the biggies like ‘Lift Me Up’ (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) by Rihanna, ‘Carolina’ (Where the Crawdads Sing) by Taylor Swift, ‘Ciao Papa’ (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio) and ‘Hold My Hand’ (Top Gun: Maverick) by Lady Gaga, to pick the prize.

It should be noted here that ‘RRR’ was also competing against ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, ‘Argentina, 1985’, ‘Close’ and ‘Decision to Leave’ for ‘Best Non-English Language Picture’ which it lost to the Korean romantic mystery.

Congratulations Sirji on your well-deserved #GoldenGlobes award!
