Bahubali& Srimanthudu Loses To Court In The Oscar Entrance

An Indian film Court, Mainly the Social activist who has accused of inducement a sewage worker to suicide by singing folk music against his state. Now, this Marathi drama film will be the entry  Oscars this year, 2015 from India film. The Oscar  Awards will take place sometime in February or March .Apart from Court, the list of films that had been considered for the honors had names like Baahubali and Srimanthudu. While, Court has got the unanimous votes from the jury and since there is only one option to chose, the jury has gone with Court Tamhane’s Court had won the National Award for the Best Feature Film this year. The film won rave reviews from critics and was released from  India in April 2015. "As an Indian filmmaker, I feel proud that there was more than one film which we thought deserved that could be nominated", Amol Palekar added. He also affirmed that they have been plain in the process of selection.The Secretary General of Film Federation of India said that “Court will be the movie from India to Oscars”. The film that made in Marathi has won the Best Feature Film award at the 62nd National Film Awards. The film has also won several other awards in a total of 18.

Oscar  each year, the Film Federation of India  shortlists a number of good films released that year. From that list, the best one is picked by the members of FFI and is submitted as an India's official entry to the court film.

Baahubali’s  team failed to get an entry to Oscar. Though most of the movie lovers expected it to be the official Oscar entry from India, It has lost to a Marathi film Court directed by Chaitanya Tamhane. Amol Palekar, Chairman of India's Oscars jury, has announced that the jury has decided to send Court as the India's official entry to Oscar in the best foreign film category. The jury has watched both the films and included them in the final 30 films to send to Oscar. As Bahubali is a feature-length film that was produced outside the United States with a non-english language, the only award it is eligible for is the "Best Foreign Language Film". The best films released this year would make the shortlist of FFI. Those would include strong contenders like NH10, Piku, Dum Laga ke Haisha, Badlapur and others. If Bahubali even makes the shortlist, it would face strong competition from the other films making it unlikely to be selected as the offical entry.Till date, India has sent over forty films as a official entry for the nomination. Yet only three films from India have been nominated since the "Best Foreign Language Film" award was introduced in 1956. These are Mother India, Salaam Bombay, and Lagaan. Out of three films, not a single one has won the award. Mother India came close but lost to Nights Of Cabiria by a single vote. The films that do get nominated for the awards all have one thing in common. Great Story. But Bahubali is a good film by Indian standards, it's not great. It's highly unlikely that it would be nominated for the award.

   

Let us hope that “Court” success the Oscar Jury and Wins and Oscar for India.
