Rang De Basanti is India's entry to the Oscars

Aamir Khan's LAGAAN directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar had reached the nominations for the best foreign film at the Oscars earlier. Now it seems again an Aamir Khan film but produced by UTV and directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's RANG DE BASANTI has begun its journey towards the Oscars. Yes, RDB will be India's entry to Oscars next year

This year it was only a few films that were submitted to the Film Federation of India. Barring the Marathi BHOOK and Telugu AMMA CHEPINDI, the submission was dominated by mainstream Bollywood films.

Besides Rakeysh Mehra's RDB, the other contenders from Hindi films were Rakesh Roshan's KRRISH, Karan Johar's KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA, Naseeruddin Shah's YUN HOTA TO KYA HOTA, Rajkumar Hirani's LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI, Vishal Bhardwaj's OMKARA, and Madhur Bhandarkar's CORPORATE.

So, Aamir Khan heads to the Oscars yet again. We wish the entire team of RDB for the grand success.
