The song is just like from any typical south Indian filmi song and the only reason it got the prize was because it was filmed using the President of Ukraine's house as the background and currently there's a war going on for almost 10 months.

@ENGR Hamid Shafiq What kind of a logic is that? I can understand if you didn't like the movie. But graphics vs reality? Its all the more difficult to pull off if graphics is involved. Movies made by Nolan, Cameron, DC or Marvel wouldn't have made any impact if VFX was not involved. Take Pakistan movie itself - The Legend of Maula Jatt. You think VFX was not involved? Just do a google search. Give credit where it is due.

Those Pakistanis who are congratulating RRR for the Golden Globe, are the same ones who are criticizing their homemade Joyland for the Oscars. What hypocrisy!
