Getting past the likes of Rihanna and Taylor Swift, "Naatu Naatu" by M M Keeravani and Chandrabose from the film RRR has won the Golden Globe award for "Best Song — Motion Picture". However, it missed out on the Best Non-English Language Film which was won by Argentina, 1985 from Argentina.
 
With this win, the song "Naatu Naatu" became the first-ever Asian song to win an award at Golden Globes.
 
Though there was a whole list of hashtags trending on Twitter and celebrating the victory, netizens created another party on the social media platform giant.
 
Naatu Naatu compared with NATO amid Russia Ukraine war
Amid the Russian-Ukraine war, a section of Twitter after the RRR's win started to flood the internet with the comparison of the song "Naatu Naatu" with "NATO NATO". It is pertinent to mention that NATO or The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also called the North Atlantic Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 member states – 28 European and two North American.
 
Ukraine has requested fast-track NATO membership last September, seven months after Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO says it has an open-door policy to Ukraine but has not said whether it will accelerate moves towards Kyiv's possible accession. This move will likely touch a nerve in Moscow which casts NATO as a hostile military bloc bent on encroaching on Russia's sphere of influence.
 
NATO leaders promised Ukraine in 2008 that it could one day join the alliance, but full NATO membership appears distant. All the alliance's 30 members would have to give their consent and some are wary of how Russia would react.
 
Considering this situation, the netizens have flooded the internet with "NATO" and "Naatu Naatu"
 
Here are some reactions:
 
 
 
It is pertinent to mention that the song "Naatu Naatu" was shot at the Mariinsky Palace, the Presidential Palace of Ukraine located in Kyiv. The shooting took place in August 2021 as a part of the final shooting schedule in Ukraine. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy officially resides in the palace. It was shot only a few months before Russia initiated military action against Ukraine.
 
 
 
 
In an interview with Gulte.com, RRR director said, “We shot the Naatu Naatu song in Ukraine. It is a real location. Actually, it is the Ukrainian President’s palace. There is a parliament right beside the palace. Luckily, they gave us permission to shoot because the Ukrainian president was a television actor. The funny thing is that he acted as the President in a TV series before becoming the President.”
