I jut read some artilcle that Eklavya is chosen to go the Oscars instead of other films. I am livid with this desicion made my the jury of sending this movie to the prestigue Oscars. In my opinion "Gandhi My Father", " Chak De India", "Guru", or "Dharam" are far better films then Eklavya... Eklavya wasn't even appriciated by the masses... Is this the type of films that are representing India?

"Gandhi My Father" in my opnion deserves to go then any other films. It has an International appeal and it is one of the better films India has made this year.

I really wonder what were the Juries considering when they elected Eklavya?

What do you all think? Which movie should represent India? Does Eklavya have the international appeal?

Can somebody answer this question for me. Why is it that people question every movie that is not patriotic!!! Can't a commercial film be just as good? Eklavya was a beautifully done film. So what if it had nothing to do with the patriosm of India. Good cinema is Good cinema ! ! !

Why sohuld have Chak De India and Gandhi gone?? Cause they had to do with Indian team and India's leader?

That is a very biased opinion.
