'Delhi-6' Wants to Try for Oscar Gold
July 28 2009 15:55 PST
"Delhi-6" didn't really do it for its targeted audience. Even our readers seemed to have mixed opinions about the film. But despite this setback, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra believes so much in his movie, that he and UTV want to go global with 'Delhi-6'. They've officially written to the Oscar committee to send it to the Oscars next year.
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra told sources that "Yes I am confident about my product thus we have written to Oscar committee India about 'Delhi-6.' We are awaiting their reply." It's unclear if the committee will agree with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's vision, but it will be interesting to see if "Delhi-6" stands a chance.
This isn't the first time that Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has submitted to the Oscar committee. He sent Aamir Khan's "Rang De Basanti" before, which never made it into the top five. That's why we wonder if our readers think "Delhi-6" will have more or less of a chance. Let us know with a comment.

Hammurabi, shove it up your nose you smelly little rat.
Sensitive, politically correct, and patriotic individuals must express collective outrage at racist, inflammatory, irrational posts by anti-Indian "SuzyQ".
These directors are deluded. They will never win an Oscar for this. This film was meandering, self-indulgent, heavy handed, and clumsy. Just compare it with some of the original, challenging movies made around the world that stand in the best non English language movie category and you'll laugh in the face of these mediocrities. India should submit arthouse, parallel cinema for this award, not Bollywood musicals.
Music is amazing on this soundtrack. If you are a real music fan you will appreciate this.
this movie is gayyyyyy ass hell doesnt deserve jackshh...
Oh god why do they do this????? the music yes - the film had elemets in it that were so stupid and an international film audience will not appreciate it - bollywood has some good films - why put out something that just won't resonate - they just don't get it....... shame
