The following movies were also up for Best Picture: Turning Red, Cha Cha Real Smooth, Elvis, The Northman, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

The official Twitter account of RRR reacted to this big announcement and wrote, "Happy to see #RRRMovie nominated for Best Picture @HCACritics #RRR", along with adding starry eyes and red heart emoji.

Since its Netflix streaming debut, Hollywood celebrities and critics have been gushing about RRR, making it one of the most talked-about Indian films among Western moviegoers. It has grown to be so well-liked that it has even been rereleased in a few cinemas across America.

The Telugu hit is a made-up narrative that draws inspiration from Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, two Telugu liberation heroes. As there don't appear to be any records of what transpired in the lives of these freedom fighters while they were away from their homes, the movie has investigated a historical blind area for a visual extravaganza.

Bollywood superstars Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn also star in the film playing Ram Charan's wife and father respectively. The astonishing action sequences, gripping storyline, brilliant performances,  emotional music, and obviously, the amazing Naacho Naacho song sequence are the reasons behind the film's blockbuster success.
