Naatu Naatu, the electrifying track from SS Rajamoulis RRR, won an Oscar in the Best Original Song category earlier this week

After a glorious win at the Oscars, team RRR is back in India and continues to celebrate the victory.

Ram Charan greeted the Home Minister with a bouquet of flowers and a traditional silk stole.

While the "Naatu Naatu" performance was a big moment in representation for the South Asian community, and especially the South Indian and Telugu communities, some raised questions.

The principal dancers at the Oscar performance have been identified as Canadian and American

The track was sung on stage by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava with a group of dancers led by choreographer Lauren Gottlieb

The failure to showcase more South Asian talent in the performance of 'RRR's' 'Naatu Naatu' was a misstep, dancers and choreographers told The Times.

Basking in the success of the RRR at the Academy awards this year, South superstar Jr NTR on Wednesday expressed his delight over the chartbuster Naatu Naatu winning the coveted golden statuette, saying that seeing music composer MM Keeravaani and lyricist Chandrabose accepting the Oscar was the best moment in his life.

Critics noted the Oscar-winning number was staged by non-Indian choreographers or background dancers

While making his way out of the Hyderabad airport, Jr NTR was mobbed by a crowd of elated fans and reporters, who congratulated him on the win.
