It is well known that ‘RRR’ received a lot of love from the international audience. The action and the drama presented by Rajamouli won the hearts of many and it received accolades from noted writers and directors of Hollywood as well. It won the Critics Choice Awards for New York, LA and many awards. The movie won the Golden Globe Award for ‘Naatu Naatu’ song and it got shortlisted in the best original song category at the Oscars as well.
We have seen legendary filmmakers like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg praising ‘RRR’. But the movie did not even get nominated at the BAFTA awards which stunned many. The 76th edition of this awards ceremony was held in the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday night. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) did not nominate ‘RRR’ in a single category and the only Indian film that got a nomination was ‘All That Breathes’. This documentary is directed by Shaunek Sen.
It is ‘All Quiet On The Western Front’ which walked away with seven awards on the night. It is a German-language film that received a lot of recognition at the BAFTA awards ceremony. The Indian crowd is amazed over the fact that BAFTA ignored ‘RRR’ which won the Golden Globe and got nominated for the Oscars along with receiving several prestigious awards on the international stage.
We all know that ‘RRR’ is all about Indian independence from the British. It shows the fictional story of two freedom fighters who battled against the English rulers while they ruled India ruthlessly. We have seen the villain’s blood spill on ‘The Sun Never Sets on The British Empire’ board and the crown symbol. The movie definitely shows the British kingdom in a bad light which might have made them upset but it is what happened and it is our history that cannot be erased.
Many are expressing their anger on social media but there is nothing one could do now.
