The Hollywood Critics Association 2023 presented Jr. NTR and Alia Bhatt with the "Spotlight Award" last week. According to Variety, "Naatu Naatu" will compete with "This Is A Life" from "Everything Everywhere All at Once," "Applause" from "Tell It Like a Woman," and "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" during the 95th annual presentation. Before entering the Oscars, the song received international acclaim. Naatu Naatu was nominated for a Golden Globe for "Best Original Song" in January. Five days later, at the 28th annual Critics' Choice Awards, 'RRR' won two more awards. Each category has one entry: best song and best foreign film.

Since then, RRR and Naatu Naatu have become the most popular songs worldwide. In addition to English, the song was also released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, going by the names Naacho Naacho, Naattu Koothu, Halli Naatu, and Karinthol. The song's Hindi version was sung by Vishal Mishra and Rahul Sipligunj. The song was made even more enjoyable to listen to by the explosive timing of Jr. NTR and Ram Charan's hook steps, which went viral on social media.
