German language film, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ walked away with the Best Picture award (Foreign Language) and in fact this film swept BAFTA with seven awards. The only Indian film that received a nomination is ‘All That Breathes, directed by Shaunak Sen in the Documentary category.
‘RRR’ getting snubbed at BAFTA was a big shock for the Indian fans and they took to social media and slammed the jury for ignoring an epic like ‘RRR.’ Some netizens wrote that Oscar and Golden Globe have recognized ‘RRR’ but BAFTA still holds a grudge against the Indians and Indian films.
Nevertheless, ‘RRR’ still remains one of the best Indian films to get world audience’s attention and it received laurels from the likes of Hollywood legendary directors.
