RRR lyricist Chandrabose: I was flooded with messages after Oscars, but very few congratulated me after National Award
Hindustan TimesOscar-winning lyricist, Chandrabose, has won his first National Film Award for Best Lyricist, for the song Dham Dham Dham from the 2021 Telugu film Konda Polam, making the Telugu film industry as well as the whole country proud. Lyricist Chandrabose won National Award for his song Dham Dham Dham. The lyricist, who won Academy awards for Naatu Naatu earlier this year, reveals that when he had created music for Telugu period action drama Rangasthalam, he had “high expectation that it would win the National Award as I gave it my all. In fact, I didn’t even know that it was possible for a writer from India to get an Oscar.” While the 53-year-old is extremely happy about winning the National Award, he expresses being surprised and amused that his win wasn’t appreciated as much as he would have expected.
