Deepika Padukone’s “Deewani Mastani”features on Oscars’ official Instagram handle
The Academy’s official Instagram handle on Thursday shared the clip of the actor dancing to the Deewani Mastani
song from her 2015 film Bajirao Mastani. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal, Deewani Mastani is from filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial, also featuring Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra.
Fans of Deepika Padukone were overwhelmed as the Academy paid a tribute to her song Deewani Mastani.
Leading the reactions to the clip is none other than Deepika’s husband and co-star, actor Ranveer Singh. He commented, “Mesmeric!”
A fan commented, that now the Academy is finally giving the recognition that Bollywood deserves.” A third wrote, “Thank you for recognising the most beautifully shot song of all time.”
In March 2023 Deepika Deepika introduced the performance of Oscar-winning RRR song Naatu Naatu at the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Naatu Naatu, composed by MM Keeravani, made history by becoming the first ever Telugu song to not only be performed and nominated, but also win at the Oscars.
While introducing the act, Deepika said, “An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this next song a global sensation.
It plays during a pivotal scene in RRR, a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.”
She went on to add that in addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film’s anti-colonialist themes, it’s also a total banger. It’s got millions of views on YouTube and Tiktok, has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world, and is also the first song ever from an Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar.
