Vishwas,

I read your post. I kind of agree with you on certain things there.

But did you know why BLACK was not sent at the Oscars?
Ans:This was because the film BLACK was insired from a film " MIRACLE WORKERS". This the director has said in few of his interviews too. Check..........

Paheli was relatively a reflection of Indian culture.

A movie  commenced or released between the period 28.01.2008 and 10.07.2008 that could make an entry into Oscar arena,  has fair chance of getting some award   The place of shooting the movie would be from West and South western  parts of  India. Chance of its entry for best photography ,direction or in best supporting actor or actress category is seen. The theme of that movie would be realistic conveying some sense of discipline in the minds of Public at large. It would be movie of deep economic value and thoughts inbuilt  in it.

Govardhanvtji,

That's really a cool prediction. Do you know....I dream to win an award like the a Oscar's some day(u got it out from me here).

May be for my writing or direction skills. And I reside in Goa that is again to the western-southern region of India(you gave me a key naa!)

Well, I am joiking. I know it's not a childs play to reach there.

Thanks for your perdiction, sir. As always you have given us knowledge.Everytime I come accross your posts, I respect you more.

this has been an interesting discussion... all said and done...i do agree with what u guys have to say. u  need talent, scope too win any award... but then the money and lobbying part also comes into play. there have been so many great movies that havent been awarded the recognition they deserve.
when u see these talent hunts and contests..doesnt it make u wonder that not always does talent in.. there is that extra bit of something needed... i dont know what u wud call it..as i dont exactly believe in luck: ))   ..i guess the reason being i have always had it the hard way.
wish u all the luck Lopa... i am sure u will do well in life.
so we have something exciting to look forward to at the Oscars next year )

Man proposes and God disposes is the common saying

Man may uses all its resources, energy, money efforts , but ulitmately it is the God who disposes. That is where astrology could be used as a tool to get the blessing of the God to see that hurdles could be removed by proper prayers
