Do you know … “Naatu”? The Oscars sure do.
Director S.S. Rajamouli’s Indian action epic “RRR” (in theaters now and streaming on Netflix) has turned into an awards season favorite, thanks in part to its infectious musical number “Naatu Naatu.” Though the Telugu-language film missed out on a best picture nomination for the 95th Academy Awards (airing live Sunday on ABC), the tune is up for original song — the first ever in the category from an Indian film — and a favorite against heavyweights like Lady Gaga and Rihanna.
