Formed in 1909, the National Board of Review is a non-profit organization of film enthusiasts, filmmakers, professionals, and academics. The NBR awards, first announced in 1929, are considered an early harbinger of the awards season, culminating in the prestigious Academy Awards.

For the unversed, SS Rajamouli's magnum opus is a fictional story inspired by Telugu freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. The film has explored a blind spot in history for a cinematic spectacle, as there seem to be no records of what happened in the lives of these freedom fighters when they were away from their homes.

The astonishing action sequences, gripping storyline, brilliant performances, emotional music, stupendous direction, powerful music and background score, and obviously, the amazing Naatu Naatu dance sequence are the reasons behind the film's blockbuster success worldwide.
