RRR’s Naatu Naatu performance receives standing ovation at Oscars 2023

  • The Oscars 2023 stage featured a live performance of Naatu Naatu.
  • It took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
  • Deepika Padukone entered the stage to introduce Naatu Naatu’s performance.

The Oscars 2023 stage featured a live performance of the soundtrack song “Naatu Naatu” from Rajamouli’s RRR. Kaala Bhairava and Rahul Sipligunj, the song’s original vocalists, and the international dancers, notably Lauren Gottlieb, a former Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa runner-up, brilliantly mimicked and timed the onscreen dancing of actors Ram Charan and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. (Jr NTR).

The 95th Academy Awards, which were hosted at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, had a similar event. Standing ovations were given during Naatu Naatu’s Oscar performance, marking another milestone for director SS Rajamouli and his crew. The Oscars presenter Deepika Padukone entered the stage to introduce this musical performance. Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian, hosted the Oscars in 2023.

When witnessing the performance at the Oscars in 2023, Priyanka Chopra applauded:

Deepika was a presenter at the event, but SS Rajamouli’s RRR gained popularity because Naatu Naatu is up for Best Original Music. Everything that Breathes by Shaunak Sen was up for Best Documentary Feature, but it didn’t win. Kartiki Gonsalves’ The Elephant Whisperers, which served as her feature film debut, received the Best Documentary Short Oscar. Definitely having major Oscar moments is India.
