Before entering the Oscars, the song bagged awards on the global stage. In January, `Naatu Naatu` won the Golden Globes in the `Best Original Song` category. Five days later, `RRR` bagged two more awards at the 28th edition of the Critics Choice Awards. One is for the best song and another is for `best foreign language film.` Since then, `RRR` and `Naatu Naatu` are riding high on the global chart.

The song was also released in Hindi as `Naacho Naacho`, in Tamil as `Naattu Koothu`, in Kannada as `Halli Naatu` and in Malayalam as `Karinthol`. Its Hindi version was sung by Rahul Sipligunj and Vishal Mishra.

The hook steps, performed by Jr NTR and Ram Charan, went viral on social media and their energetic synchronisation made the song a treat to watch.
