This earworm is one that we can all still learn from as filmmakers (while still singing along).
Last night, SS Rajamouli’s big-budget hit, RRR, took home the Oscar for Best Music (Original Song) at the 95th Academy Awards. The song, “Naatu Naatu,” has been a smash hit across the world with audience members dancing alongside Komaram Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.) and Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) at screenings, and a music video that is sure to put a smile on your face.
We are not the only people to rewatch the music video over and over again online.
RRR director SS Rajamouli admitted during his Vanity Fair scene breakdown that his love for the song still rages on. He often revisits the sequence to appreciate everything from the background performances to Prem Rakshith’s choreography tailor-made for the film’s stars.
