I agree one should make films for one reason . To tell good story. If oscars, 100 crore, or even awards in Bollywood happen it should be a plus. Not a requirement .
As for international exposure I mean 7 films in 2012 grossed over 6 million USD in Overseas. A record. Housefull 2, Agneepath, Barfi, ETT, Dabangg 2, Talaash & JTHJ. Also many films like EV, GOW, Kai Po Che or recently Emraan Hashmi's Ek Thi Dayan were opened at film festivals across the world. Dabangg 2, Talaash, JTHJ & ETT all made it into the top ten highest grossing Bollywood films in Foreign Markets. I do not know what the oscar is needed for. First off no one will be unanimously happy with the choice. Irfan Khan was so angry Barfi was chosen this year he said Rowdy Rathore would be better Choice. 😆😆😆 I agree Rowdy Rathore is Bollywood in the truest form.
It is like Shakti Kapoor said in AAA "Yeh oscar oscar kya hai Yeh oscar oscar"😆😆😆
