No Oscars for Eklavya

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's multi-starrer spectacle Eklavya was poorly received by the Indian audiences. Even the likes of Amitabh Bachchan , Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Vidya Balan couldn't do anything for the film's box office.

The film was then nominated as India's official entry to the Oscars. This led to a controversial debate amongst various members of the film industry claiming that Vidhu had influenced the jury members to select his film over the much deserved Bhavna Talwar's Dharm.

Bhavna whose Dharm received immense appreciation at the Cannes Film Festival, took the matter to court. Bad news comes in for India as Eklavya fails to make it to the list of movies shortlisted for the glorious Oscars.

The nine films that made it in the final list include The Counterfeiters (Austria), The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (Brazil), Mongol (Kazakhstan), The Trap (Serbia), Days of Darkness (Canada), Beaufort (Israel), The Unknown Woman (Italy) , Katyn (Poland) and 12 (Russia).

Let's hope that in the near future India bags an Oscar.
