Oscar Nomination For RRR – That Won’t Work!

Rajamouli’s magnum opus is out of theaters in many places in India but the film is doing the unthinkable on Netflix. The Hindi version of the film is the most watched Non-English movie on the streaming site and is being hailed by many American critics and Hollywood personalities alike. And here is a discussion happening in film circles about the film.

With RRR getting stupendous attention from all the quarters, many film lovers are asking if RRR will get an Oscar nomination in the coming days. Usually, films that get nominated under “Best Foreign Film” category are mostly art-house movies but not the regular commercial blockbusters. However, with RRR being compared to musical-love stories like “La La Land”, surely one would get a hope that even “RRR” might get a nomination.

However, many Indians do believe that the panel that sends a film to Oscar from India would surely reject RRR and find out some Assamese or some Hindi film that belongs to the art house category. Though such films don’t even run in a dozen theatres across the country, usually they are the ones that get attention. But if at all RRR gets a recommendation from here, and nomination there, that will be history for sure.

While the chances of RRR being in Oscar Nominations are slim, surely a presence of it at Kodak theatre would be magical.
