"Naatu Naatu", the irrepressible, fun number from the film "RRR", and documentary short "The Elephant Whisperers" made Oscar history for India on Monday with one Academy Award each, the two wins showcasing cinema beyond Bollywood and the growing might of the Indian non-feature segment.
This is the first time two India-made productions have bagged the cinema world's biggest prize. Dancers took over the stage at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, recreating the hugely popular hook steps from the fourminute Telugu track, and actor Deepika Padukone introduced the song to loud cheers. It was not just a night for India. The 95th Academy Awards will also be remembered for recognising Asian talent with "Everything Everwhere All at Once" bagging seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director for Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, Best Actress for Malaysia's Michelle Yeoh and Best Supporting Actor for Vietnamese American Ke Huy Quan. “All That Breathes", Shaunak Sen's climate change documentary set in Delhi, lost out to Canada's "Navalny" on Russian dissident leader Alexei Navalny in the Documentary Feature category. The win for "Naatu Naatu", "Naacho Naacho" in Hindi, composed by M M Keeravaani and penned by Chandrabose in S S Rajamouli's blockbuster film, is the fourth non-English song to win an Oscar in the category and the first song in foreign language since "Jai Ho" in 2009 to bag the prize.
