Your say: Did Paheli deserve better?

Last updated on: February 01, 2006 23:30 IST

The Oscar Nominations have been announced, and India [ Images ] has not made it.

Brokeback in, Paheli not!

Amol Palekar's Paheli was overlooked, the five nominees for Best Foreign Language Film being La Bestia Nel Cuore from Italy [ Images ]; Joyeux Noel from France [ Images ]; Paradise Now from Palestine; Sophie Scholl - Die Letzten Tage from Germany [ Images ]; and Tsotsi from South Africa [ Images ].

Why Paheli didn't make it

Do you think the fairytale starring Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ] deserved better treatment? Should it have been marketed differently? Did Bollywood support India's official entry as much as it needed to? 

Or is this just another case of the Oscars [ Images ] overlooking films it cannot understand?

Should Paheli [ Images ] have got an Oscar nomination? Give us YOUR verdict.
