Credit where it's due, the film federation must be appreciated for finally choosing a film worth sending to the Oscars. Barfi, Good Road were such jokes. It's heartwarming so see so much support for a very unusual experimental film.

The film is avavailable on torrents, watch it if you can, it's not easy to watch the whole film since it's experimental but the issue it deals with is so relevant that it makes the film all the more awesome.

And since we are discussing Court here, wanted to share some info behind making the film. The director of this film was unemployed and couldn't work while writing the script of the film, so Vivek Gomber(producer and lead actor) actually paid him 15k every month for a year just so that he can write the script with out any differences.

Another interesing part of the film is that except for the lead, everyone else in the film are normal non actors.

There was intense lobbying too this year...seems like mostly from UTV so the venue was shifted to Hyderabad.

Oscar panel in Hyderabad for selection

By Subhash K. Jha, Aug 28, 2015 - 10:49 hrs IST

The Indian jury to select India's official entry to the Oscars 2016, helmed by chairperson Amol Palekar, is all set to meet away from Bollywood and Mumbai in Hyderabad to decide on which of our films from 2015 goes to the Oscars .

This is the second year in a row when Hyderabad has been chosen as the venue for the proceedings.

According to sources Hyderabad is likely to remain the hub of Oscar activity on the coming years.

"The jury to select the Indian entry to the Oscars is put under tremendous pressure in Mumbai to select a Bollywood film. This year too there is heavy lobbying in Mumbai for films like Vishal Bhardwaj's Haidar, Anurag Kashyap's Ugly, Raj Kumar Hirani's PK and Omung Kumar's Mary Kom as Indian's Oscar entry. To avoid being 'Bollywoodized' the Oscar committee has moved from Mumbai to Hyderabad, far away from the madding crowd of lobbyists. In Hyderabad they hope to look at films in every Indian language impartially before selecting the film that will represent us at the Oscars this year," says a source close to the Oscar jury.

Besides the distinguished Amol Palekar, other jury members this year include filmmaker Rahul Rawail, writer Abbas Tyrewala and Gujarati actor-politician Naresh Kanodia.
