Fresh from its success at the Golden Globes, India’s “RRR” on Tuesday scored an Academy Award nomination in the original song category
. “RRR,” which stands for “Rise, Roar, Revolt,” is a Telugu-language drama set during India’s struggle for independence from Britain. The three-hour historical fantasy draws from a number of genres and features wild action sequences, explosions, epic battles, complex dance numbers and a man wrestling a tiger. If “RRR” wins an Oscar, it would be the first Indian film to do so. The movie won India’s first ever Golden Globe award this year, taking home the trophy for best original song.
Rajamouli told Reuters, “When we initially set out to make it we didn’t have the critical acclaim in mind. We set out to make the movie for the audience, for them to love it, for them to experience the movie.” The film has already made more than $150 million worldwide, which makes it India’s fourth highest grossing film, according to IMDb. “RRR” was released on Netflix a few months after hitting theaters and was among the platform’s top 10 most viewed non-English films for 16 weeks.
