Cricketer turned commentator Dinesh Karthik took to his official Twitter handle and celebrated India winning two awards at the Oscars 2023. He wrote, "Two Oscars for INDIA. WOHOOOOOOO. TWO WOMEN helmed it for #ElephantWhisperers, and it's India's FIRST-ever PRODUCTION winning an OSCAR. RRR wins for original song. Well done @ssrajamouli @mmkeeravaani @guneetm Proud Indian #Oscars2023 #Oscars95”.
RRR won India's first-ever Oscar for 'Best Original Song.'
The Elephant Whisperers won the Oscar for the best documentary short film in the meantime. Many Indian cricket teams and players celebrated these historic victories by praising and adoring the champions. The fact that RRR went on to become a worldwide sensation after its 2022 premiere and that "Naatu Naatu" won the prestigious "Best Original Song" award for the first time in India's history is noteworthy.
