India at Oscars 2023: Last Film Show beats RRR in International Feature Film category; Naatu Naatu gets nominated
India at Oscars: Chhello Show, a Gujarati film also known as Last Film Show in English, has been selected as India’s entry for the Best International Film category at the Oscars. The film has beaten SS Rajamouli’s RRR which was also expected to make it to the list. This marks the first time in over 20 years that an Indian film has made it to this category. The film, directed by Pan Nalin, is a coming-of-age drama featuring Bhavin Rabari, Bhavesh Shrimali, Richa Meena, Dipen Raval, and Paresh Mehta.
RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli, may still receive nominations in other categories that have yet to be announced.
Tragically, child actor Rahul Koli passed away due to cancer in October. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlist for 10 categories, including documentary feature, international film, makeup and hairstyling, score, original song, sound, visual effects, and shorts, for the 95th Oscars.
