Jimmy Kimmel Calls ‘RRR’ a Bollywood Movie at Oscars and Desis Aren’t Thrilled

Netizens quickly pointed out that 'RRR' is a Telugu-language movie, and not a Bollywood film.

Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night show host who presented the Oscars 2023, has run into hot water with the desis after he mistakenly called RRR a 'Bollywood' movie during his monologue.

SS Rajamouli's magnum opus, RRR, made history by winning the Oscar for Best Original Song for its peppy dance number 'Naatu Naatu'. While the film has hooked audiences around the world, Kimmel's ignorance about the Indian film industry has disappointed desi fans. 

Here, take a look at this video from the ceremony:
