Please watch 1971 stars Manoj Bajpai and Deepak Dobriyal (Pappiji)

It won the National Award for Best Film (Hindi) for 2007. God Bless the Jury who were wise enough to see the merit in this gem!⭐️👏👏

This could have been a worthy Oscar submission.

Lage Raho was submitted as an independent entry, no? It was sent with RDB for the one before Eklavya.

I have seen only Khosla Ka Ghosla and Traffic Signal from this list. I don't think either of them should've been sent. Traffic Signal would've been better than Eklavya though.

I took Munna Bhai as it reeased in september

1971 is said to be most deserving though I didnt watch it

There are regional moves also

I have no idea about the time period. I assumed Jan-Dec since that's what it is for the American films. But foreign language shortlisting is a lot more rigorous so they might have something else for that.

Yea regional movies are always there but my knowledge is mostly limited to Bollywood. That disclaimer of regional cinema also being there is attached to any and every comment I make regarding Oscar nominations. But from my end, I can only comment on hindi films.

may be u are right Jan-Dec thing.Though 'Liar's dice' released in 2013 October and but selected for 2014

16 regional movies were sent to Oscar before.So that disclaimer would always remain
