They should have sent “The Lunchbox” in place of it. Haven’t watched ‘The Good Road’ yet, but people those who have watched it, are saying ‘The Lunchbox’ was better.
kahaani should be sent last year and this year ‘the lunchbox’…

Should have been Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
neither lunch box would make it to the list. we need a movie like salaam bombay!
They should have sent Krissh 3…LOL
Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani best film of 2013. All filmfare awards will be swept by Ranbir like Rockstar and Barfi.
Ranbir best actor of Bollywood
@lol good joke yjhd was just average movie
I think that the academy award judges don’t want Bollywood films to win!!! I saw the trailer of the Good Road now.. a boring story for sure.. or those judges love boring films.. Bhag M. Bhag is the one which really deserve the Oscar.. obviously they don’t want Bollywood to win!!!!!
