RRR: MM Keeravaani brings India its first Golden Globe
The day couldn’t have started on a better, more musical, note. The very talented very versatile and humble M M Keeravaani won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for the song Naatu Naatu in RRR.
Minutes after the triumph I connected with the Keeravaani whom I have known for over thirty years and whom I consider to be the most accomplished composer from the South on a par with Ilayaraja. He was still at the Golden Globe awards ceremony. He sounded ecstatic and still as humble as grounded as ever crediting his wife Srivalli, his cousin Rajamouli and those who believed in him (including this writer) for his Golden Globe victory.
Keeravaani is no stranger to international acclaim. October 19, 2019, and the Royal Albert Hall in London echoed with his musical score of Baahubali.

Reacting to news of the honour, Keeravaani had said, “When I was informed that the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra would perform my score in Baahubali live as an accompaniment to the film’s screening by producer Sobhanadri Yarlagadda, I was initially disbelieving, then humbled. I don’t know of any other Indian film that has been honoured this way. Later, when I started to absorb the good news, it made me feel really satisfied with all the efforts I had put in while scoring the background music of the film.”
In an industry with declining musical trends, the composer stands tall as a beacon of hope and has stayed steadfast to his vocation.
