Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

The Indian Oscar Saga continues. The Indian selection committee will once again  hold a meeting and now Chak De India has joined the list of contenders.  'Dharm, Eklavya and Chak De India are the finalists and now all bets are on Chak De India given that its been backed by Yash Raj and is a SRK film.

In a recent statement, Karan Johar said:"I think 'Chak De' is one of the best movies that I have seen in the recent times and I would recommend it for any platform, be it the Oscars etc."

Commenting on the selection process and the controversy surrounding it, Sharukh Khan said:"I think controversies are a great thing, thats what always happens in a selection process."

SRK was candid enough to admit that his Paheli that was selected last year was the wrong choice."Even when Paheli got selected, I knew deep down inside that it was the wrong film."
