It feels like we all have won. RRR is a cult and iconic film. It's only fair that it gets its due internationally also. It is an eye-opener that regional cinema has graduated way above Hindi cinema and we need to catch up.

RRR is one of my favourite movies this year and it's a well-deserved award. I am a Rajamouli fan and he has created history as this is the first Indian film to win an award at GGA. It is absolutely a proud moment for all of us and big congratulations to the RRR team. South Indian films have the capacity to nail it.

It’s a very proud moment for the Indian Film Industry to win the Golden Globe Award and even in the matter of the original song, it’s a pride for us. It’s time to rejoice and to do even better in the industry together and attain that sort of global respect that we have with RRR.

It’s a very big achievement. Being a part of the Indian film industry, I am very proud that this song has won the GGA. Even now a lot of films from India are considered in nominations for the Oscars also. It’s a very big leap that Indian films are getting their due and recognition globally. Music getting recognised is like the cherry on the cake. I would like to wish the entire team many many congratulations and it’s a happy moment for all of us. It’s a great moment for regional cinema in India. Regional cinema is doing so great in our country and that is something to be proud of because I myself come from a regional cinema background.

It’s a proud moment for India. Finally, our cinema is being recognised on the global platform. This is just the beginning.
Ambuj Dixit
I feel very happy and proud that RRR has made India proud. The song deserved it. And not only the song, but the movie in itself is also as grandiose as the song. The song is the perfect combination of tremendous music plus extraordinary dance moves with impeccable cinematography. I watched the movie 2 times. Once on a single screen and the other was in a multiplex. In both the places when the song came up there was this enormous reaction from the audiences. I remember people dancing from their seats once the famous dance steps came in. It was an incredible view of how the movie and the song had a lasting impression on people’s lives.
