Released theatrically in March, 'RRR' raised over Rs 1,200 crore at the global box office. The Hindi version of the film premiered on Netflix on May 20 and soon became the most popular movie from India on the streamer globally.

A pan-India film, 'RRR' follows a pre-independence fictional story woven around two real-life Indian revolutionaries -- Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) -- in the 1920s.

After the movie reached overseas territories, it received unanimous praise from foreign critics and audiences.

The makers are currently gearing up for the Hollywood award season where "RRR" recently received nominations for the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.

On Monday, 'RRR' bagged two Golden Globe nominations -- Best Picture - Non-English and Best Song for 'Naatu Naatu'. It was followed by five nods for Critics Choice Awards -- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Song for 'Naatu Naatu', and Best Visual Effects.
