Why Indians can’t win Oscars?


Over the generations, we have be yearning out to watch any of our versatile personalities bagging international awards. And again, it’s precisely a disappointment with none of them at least getting nominated for the category. Director Priyadarshan is so elated about winning his film ‘Kanchivaram’ at International Film Festivals. “Why Indians can’t bag Oscars? The reason is so simple. Our filmmakers just copycat their works and present it again to them. So what would be their statements? ‘Ridiculous’ and nothing more to underrate us”. Mr. Priyadarshan can better quote those words for himself too… ‘Children of Heaven’, a heart-binding film critically acclaimed across the world and Priyadarshan is remaking it….
Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par makes for the nomination of best foreign languages in Oscars. ‘Definitely maybe’ as the Hollywood film’s title goes, this may be a special attention for everyone, but glimpse through the film again and again. It lacks the substance of reality. Aamir Khan uttering dialogues about ‘Dyslexia’ is something like the researched works on Wikipedia and his scriptwriter Amol Gupta’s work getting revealed. Nevertheless, there are few scenes that lets our rational abilities getting diminished with emotional factors. Never mind it! How about other films that were nominated by our Indian Oscars Association; A Wednesday, Rock On, Mumbai Meri Jaan…
A Wednesday could it be put as the partial traces of Phone booth…Two fighting individuals at other ends for 100min thriller. Of course, the film was worth watching as it had ridden out commercial elements from it. Rock On, a film that binds everyone together irrespective of ages and centres. It’s about human relationships and values. Mumbai Meri Jaan and we must thank this director about his individualistic style of filmmaking. Different characters and their lives transforming after a horrible incident and it sounds good. But, for few who had watched ‘Ameros Perros’ and ‘Babel’, you’d say ‘please grow up Indians’…
If Aamir Khan had roped in so many characters for showcasing the emotional bonding between relations in ‘Taare Zameen Par’, so what can you say about ‘Children of Heaven’, where the same relational bonding was revealed with just a matter of shoes….
Think about it filmmakers and you’ll have something to rediscover amongst you…
