SS Rajamouli’s RRR, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, made waves globally by becoming the first Telugu film to win an Oscar. It also earned the distinction of being the first Indian movie to win the prestigious Best Original Song award for the track “Naatu Naatu.”

Fans are eagerly waiting to see if one of these will represent India on the global stage. Additionally, several other Indian films are vying for the honor as well.

The FFI will reveal the chosen film today at 12 PM, setting the stage for the Oscars on March 2, 2025. With excitement building, movie lovers are eagerly awaiting the big announcement. Stay tuned to find out which film will make the cut.
