Recent box-office success of some Hindi movies has made talk of an Oscar nomination almost tangential, but it is hard to say if it will open any more doors for other Indian filmmakers
defies a traditional documentary narrative to tell a story about two brothers running a hospital for scavenger birds called black kites,RRRThere’s a lot of song-and-dance involved in running an Oscar campaign for your film, which theteam has clearly been invested in. It has been a pleasure watching the on-screen bromance between lead actors Ram Charan and N.T.
– a song that I personally find relentlessly effusive, and which will be performed live during the broadcast Sunday night. And then? Will more people become aware of the multilingual film traditions from India? There will likely always be an audience – local and international – for Indian period films. After all, the mythical Indian past is ripe for all sorts of cinematic indulgences, from costumes and design to plots full of passion and intrigue.
There’s more to Indian cinema than period films, however, no matter what language they are in. The box-office success of a Hindi movie like, for example, makes talk of an Oscar nomination almost tangential. There’s no way that a movie whose success relies simply on the charisma of its three lead actors , with a barely-there plot about spies and international intrigue, will ever have an Oscar nomination.
The Oscars still need to do a lot of soul searching when it comes to representing cinematic excellence within Hollywood and English-language cinema, forget about reflecting languages and cultures from around the world. Even ifends up winning in its category, it’s hard to say if it will open any more doors for other Indian filmmakers or music composers.
