The catchy dance track won for Best Song and the film nabbed Best Foreign Language Film Award.

While accepting Critics Choice Award for Naatu Naatu, composer MM Keeravani expressed his gratitude at the ceremony, and thanked his team, saying that he was rather overwhelmed. In the video shared by RRR Twitter handle, MM Keeravani was asked why his song Naatu Naatu had resonated with people worldwide. He answered, "Because of the uniqueness, freshness and which got the attention globally, for the first time."
