One of the best moments from the Academy Awards came with a roaring performance of the song “Naatu Naatu” from the film RRR.
The song has made the rounds ever since the Indian historical blockbuster became a global sensation, and the Oscars helped faithfully recreate the scene from the film with a host of dancers.
You can feel the energy in the room from everyone watching as the song builds to its final dance-off.
It’s the kind of special moment that you can only get at the Academy Awards, and it could really help introduce RRR to a whole new audience.

“Naatu Naatu” was nominated in the Best Original Song category, the only nomination at this year’s Oscars for RRR.
If you’re ready to watch RRR, the film’s Hindi dub is available to stream on Netflix. If you’re going to attempt any of these dance moves, make sure you watch the movie first and get some practice in beforehand.
