Several fans, both Indian and international, congratulated the team and the film on its historic win. Fans also shared gifs of the stars dancing in the replies as well.

I hope this give that much need motivation to all Indian artist and movie makers. Congratulations #RRR.” The twitter handle for Beyond Fest, where the film was screened over the weekend, replied, “Legendary.”
