India Shines at Oscars: RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’, ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ secure two wins

It is indeed a very historic day for India today and every Indian is jumping with joy after India’s big win at the Oscars. ‘Elephant Whisperers’ won Best Documentary Short Film and RRR’s Naatu Naatu won Best Original Song at the prestigious 95th Academy Awards.

Social media has been buzzing with pride for the win, and along with the fans, a lot of Bollywood actors too are expressing their happiness on social media.

Indian films made history securing two wins for the country. SS Rajamouli's magnum opus ‘RRR’ won the 'Best Original Song' Oscar for Naatu Naatu and Kartiki Gonsalves' documentary short ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ won in its category as well.

The win for Naatu Naatu has made RRR the first Indian film to win an Oscar in the original song category. While ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ was the third Indian documentary short to be nominated for an Oscar, after ‘The House That Ananda Built’ and ‘An Encounter With Faces’, it is the country's first win in the category.

At the Oscars 2023, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ won Best Picture and the Best Actress and Actor awards went to Michelle Yeoh and Brendan Fraser respectively.
