The Golden Globes nominations were announced on Monday with much excitement for India; RRR scored two nominations - Best Non-English Language Film and Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu.
RRR is the only Indian film to make the final five out of a clutch of other entries from India, among them Gangubai Kathiawadi, Kantara and Chhello Show.
Chhello Show is India's official entry for the Oscars, where RRR has submitted itself independently for consideration in various categories.
The other nominees for Non-English Language Film are All Quiet On The Western Front (Germany), Argentina, 1985 (Argentina), Close (Belgium) and Decision To Leave (South Korea).
The Golden Globes award ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on January 10 (early morning of January 11 for India) and will be hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
Rajamouli and his team are hoping for Oscar nominations this time around and have been aggressively promoting the film.
Although Rajamouli did not receive a nomination for Best Director, receiving two nominations is a significant accomplishment.
The film now has a chance of receiving at least one Oscar nomination.
