Amitabh Bachchan celebrates as India wins 2 Oscar Awards

• India won two Oscars at the 95th Academy Awards, making it a historic day for Indian filmmakers and the audience.
• Amitabh Bachchan wrote on Twitter that it was a recognition long overdue.
• Elephant Whisperers both won Oscars, making it a historic day.

Amitabh Bachchan, a seasoned performer, responded to India winning two Oscars at the 95th Academy Awards. Amitabh said on Twitter on Tuesday: “T 4585: We triumph! We achieve two victories! We triumph for our nation and people! We won !! India has planted its flag overseas, in the phrase Bharat ka jhanda gaad diya (India has done so)! OSCAR 95.” A landmark day for Indian filmmakers and the public was marked by the Oscar victories of RRR and The Elephant Whisperers.
Amitabh posted on his blog, saying: “We finally received the credit we deserved after taking the reward. He who creates also delivers, and eventually he did.
But are we really aware of the attention we receive, even when it is well-deserved? Yes, we are not taken into consideration.”

T 4585 – WE WIN ! WE WIN TWO ! WE WIN FOR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE ! WE WIN !! भारत का झंडा गाड़ दिया, विदेश में !

He further remarked, “But those who receive make us proud because we are not less than anyone else and are not ruled and governed by an alien nation. And in recent times, we have discovered—or rather, I have discovered—that the factors perpetuating the Colonial system of control are being discussed, contested, and given public consideration for their sufficiency and merit. Let’s see. There is still a long way to go. Yet, I do think that a small portion of society does and has believed in everything being said both internally and externally.”

In the Original Song category of the Oscars, RRR’s well-known song Naatu Naatu triumphed over well-known performers like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. Composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose accepted the award on behalf of the team. The major actors Jr. NTR and Ram Charan watched from the audience as singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava performed the song on stage. Director SS Rajamouli was also present.

The Best Documentary Short Film award went to The Elephant Whisperers. Kartiki Gonsalves, the film’s director, and Guneet Monga, its producer, took the stage to accept the award. The story centres around a family who adopts a child from a shelter and then raises it as their own.
