RDB to Oscars

Verdict is finally out...RDB is the official Indian entry for Oscars.....though it had a tough competition from LRM.....Omkara too was a dark horse....

LRM and RDB had many similarities...both tried to convey the same social message though one was through a non-violent manner while the other was in a rebellious mode.....

both are great movies...probably among the best bollywood movies in 3-4 yrs....both had equal chances of making to oscars though RDB had a universal appeal as against LRM which was too mumbaiyya....English speaking audience wouldn't have connected with LRM because the humor would have been lost through sub-titles....

All in all a fair decision...even if LRM was selected i wld have considered it a fair decision :))))

Rediff's list of award winners for 2005

Check this link "Rediff Movie Awards"

The winners selected are good. However these might not be popular choices. I guess these choices are choices for critics award

For example, Shreyas and Riteish winning Best Actor and Best Supporting actor respectively is in doubt considering the popularity of Amitabh (Black) and Abhishek(Sarkar).

Moreover Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi(Best director) and Iqbal (best film) may lose out again to Black because of popularity.

The toughest competition is in Best Supporting actress where Ayesha Kapoor (Black) will have to battle out with Shweta Prasad (Iqbal)

They have selected Chitrangadha (Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi) as the promising female newcomer. However since she has taken retirement from acting, Vidya Balan should be a deserving candidate.
