1. This is a Nepali site, let us promote Nepali Film instead. If you never support our industry, what do expect? You always complain the quality is bad? If we pour our money in it, it will take off slowly. Common sense.
2. This particular movie is NOT a Bollywood movie. It is made by a white guy, everybody behind the screen with the brains are whites. Of course it is about India and there were few chessy Bollywood actors. Still the force behind its success were white. Technically this is a Hollywhood movie.
3. Bollywood still sucks. I hope this becomes a wake up call to their industry that inorder for the rest of the world to acccept their standard, there should be a "common sense". The award was a clear statement that if you make something that the rest of the world will understand, we'll put it on the list.
4. By that account, Nepal has also been nominated for Oscar (infact we were the favorite) for the movie "Caravan" or "The Himalaya". You might be saying, NOWAY, it was a foreigner (French), we can never make movies of that standard. Well exactly, it the same for this movie.
