Team RRR and The Elephant Whisperers both won Oscars at the 95th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, making it a historic day for Indian filmmakers and audiences.

Earlier in January, Naatu Naatu won the Golden Globe in the ‘Best Original Song’ category. Five days later, RRR bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards, one for ‘Best Song’ and another for ‘Best Foreign Language Film.’
