It does make me think would Bollywood ever choose a Hollywood film to be entered into their awards I don't know National Awards or IIFA 🤣I mean if they had a Bollywood version of the Oscars 🤣



There is a 'best foreign language film' category at the Academy Award. It is here where Mother India and Lagaan got nominated.

But seriously though, is the only way we have of shoring our reputation up is by getting an Oscar nod? How about trying to make some good films first and then think about the award part later?

Definitely good films should be made then awards should be thought about later on. Sometimes I think Bollywood's expectation is high sometimes when they are given the nod
