India Wins Two Oscars at 95th Academy Awards
The song that has made 1.4 billion Indians at home and abroad dance to its electrifying beats has won an Oscar for the Best Original Song. India bagged another golden statuette for the Best Documentary Short Film that is “The Elephant Whisperers”. The world’s second most populous nation was waiting for these golden moments with a bated breath.
Both the movies – Rajamouli directorial “RRR” and “The Elephant Whisperers” directed by Kartiki Gonsalves were globally released by Netflix. The ‘Oscar’ win of The Elephant Whisperers directed and produced by women is a belated Women’s Day gift to Indian women worldwide. Interestingly, “The Elephant Whisperers” is Tamil Nadu-born Kartiki’s directorial debut that tells a poignant tale of the bond between an indigenous couple and an orphaned baby elephant.
The Oscar for the Best Original Song is very special to India, as the ‘Naatu Naatu’ song is the first Indian production to have bagged the most coveted award.
I have watched RRR on Netflix and I can tell you it is one of the most pre colonial movies I have ever watched.
