'Naatu Naatu' Wins Oscar: Here's How It Became A Viral Sensation Globally

The electrifying song was also performed at the Oscars ceremony.

RRR’s “Naatu Naatu” conquered the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles by winning the Best Original Song award. The song won over a group of tough rivals, including Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick, Rihanna’s “Raise Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, “This Is A Life” from Everything Everywhere All At Once and “Applause” from Tell It Like a Woman.

The electrifying song was also performed at the Oscars ceremony by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava. It garnered applause and a standing ovation from the crowd at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. It is to be noted that it was the first time that a song from an Indian film was performed at the Academy Awards.

It was shot outside Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s official residence Mariinsky Palace, just months before the war broke out in the region.

Ever since its release, social media is full of videos and performing to the hit number. Here are five instances which took the song to a global level.
