RRR came, watched, and triumphed at the Golden Globes. One of the two categories in which SS Rajamouli’s hit movie Naatu Naatu was nominated was for Best Original Song. It didn’t win the 1985 award for Best Foreign Language Film, which went to Argentina. All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany), Close (Belgium), Decision to Leave (South Korea), and others are also nominated in this category.
The cast of RRR, including director SS Rajamouli, Jr. NTR, and Ram Charan, who is joined at the Golden Globes by wife Upasana Kamineni, will be in attendance. In the historical drama, which is set in the British-occupied India of the 1920s, NTR and Ram Charan respectively portray the liberation fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju. Along with Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, the cast also features Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris from the United Kingdom.
Rajamouli got the Best Director prize at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards for his work on RRR, which earned over 1,200 crore worldwide. RRR has also submitted itself for consideration in a number of Oscar categories and is predicted to receive nominations in at least one, if not more, of these categories.
Jerrod Carmichael, a comedian, is hosting the Golden Globes in Los Angeles. Following internal changes in response to criticism of its purportedly racial and sexist voting processes, the awards have returned to the mainstream of Hollywood. NBC, which broadcasts the Golden Globes, along with many of Hollywood’s biggest actors, led by Tom Cruise, who returned his three Globes, boycotted the event last year.
