The film we are talking about is ace Indian director S.S. Rajamouli’s pan-India blockbuster RRR, which has created and broken many records at the box office this year.
Apart from RRR, the other Indian entries recommended were Gangubai Kathiawadi, Kantara, and The Chhellow Show. However, by beating them, RRR became the only Indian film to make it to the top 5 nominations.
The film was nominated for the 2023 Golden Globe Awards in two categories: best picture in a non-English language and best original song for Naatu Naatu.
