Indians are celebrating after Telugu movie RRR made history by winning a Golden Globe - a first for the country. The film's catchy musical number, Naatu Naatu, was awarded best original song, beating heavyweights like Taylor Swift and Rihanna. The hit song was filmed in front of Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky's official residence in 2021. Accepting the award, composer MM Keeravani said he was thrilled by the song's success. Back home, several Indians including Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed their joy at the news. Mr Modi congratulated the team, saying the "prestigious honour has made every Indian very proud". Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman called the win a "paradigm shift". Newshour's Razia Iqbal spoke to the song's lyricist Kanukuntla Subhash Chandrabose after the Golden Globes win.
