SS Movie directed by Rajamouli RRR recently made history by becoming the first Indian-produced movie to win an Oscar. Apart from RRR, a number of other Indian movies, including The Kashmir Files by Vivek Agnihotri, were anticipated to compete for academy honors. Vivek Agnihotri said he is pleased to see non-Bollywood cinema succeed after RRR’s significant victory for its original track Natu Natu at the Oscars 2023 and The Elephant Whisperers winning an award for Best Documentary.
The Best Original Song award at the 95th Academy Awards went to RRR’s Natu Natu. MM Keeravaani, who also gave an emotional speech at the star-studded gathering, accepted the award. In addition, The Elephant Whisperer won the prize for the best documentary short movie.
The filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has constantly supported and promoted Indian cinema. After the festival of Indian cinema, the director expressed his delight at the success of Indian films. Agnihotri praised Deepika Padukone for presenting a segment at the Oscars in 2023 and emphasized the popularity of Indian films in an interview with ETimes.
Vivek Agnihotri said, “It’s a great time for Indian cinema. Starting with our film The Kashmir Files, which caught the attention of the global audience, followed up with RRR’s unprecedented success, two documentaries and an Oscar for The Elephant Whisperers and Deepika Padukone presenting a segment at Oscars.” He also emphasized the value of the regional film, saying, “I am particularly happy that non-Bollywood star-oriented cinema is now being replaced with real Indian Cinema.”
The director anticipated that eventually, Indian cinema, which would be used as our strongest category, would encompass all regional cinema produced in the nation.
