Following this phenomenal victory, a Twitter user, Nikhil Inamda, had an opinion about Naatu Naatu that questioned the worth of the song, and he called it mediocre.

Heard #NaatuNaatu for the first time today. What a tragedy that something so distinctly mediocre is judged our best!#GoldenGlobes2023 #RRR

While Desis, who celebrated this proud moment, had a problem with this opinion and had a lot to say. Have a look:

Valid personal opinion, but on a day when the nation is celebrating what may be someone's biggest win, why play spoilsport?

*their best not "our best".
Also, you don't need to be a spoilsport for a happy occasion where an entire region was getting recognized for making the nation proud. Some common sense! https://t.co/1ddH6jIzGd

May be found Mediocre for the regular Indian listeners but it’s unique for the listeners around the globe. We should be proud to get represented . https://t.co/RFSpiZwQRE

When we didn’t have social media, such opinions wouldn’t have mattered, now they do. The @verified stamp helps to a greater extent. Negatives thrive much more than positives in this space. The wholesome product of #NaatuNaatu is absolutely brilliant. #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/XYqTA0j0Zp

While I dont think its mediocre, as a song there is nothing too amazing about it honestly. What makes it a great song is the visuals and the dancing. Idk if it deserves to win Best Original Song when there are much better Indian songs out there, but still its a big win for India. https://t.co/vkognby8bA
