Director Anurag Basu’s Barfi!, India’s official Oscar entry, has failed to qualify for the ‘Best foreign language film’ category for the 85th Academy Awards.

71 films from across the globe were sent for the Oscars, out of which nine have been shortlisted, which will further compete to make it to the final five nominations.
9 films that are still in the running for an Oscar nomination are..
- Amour (Austria)
- War Witch (Canada)
- No (Chile)
- A Royal Affair (Denmark)
- The Intouchables (France)
- The Deep (Iceland)
- Kon-Tiki (Norway)
- Beyond the Hills (Romania)
- Sister (Switzerland).

Did u people really expect a copycat movie to win a oscar, give me a break.
no problem barfi team.barfi will win all indian award.filmfare is waiting for barfi team for award.
So its still a dream for indians to win oscar. Well, it’s has to be expected considering the quality of bollywood movies.
I don’t know what you guys see in Agneepath. Seriously, it was the worst acting by Hrithik. He just didn’t have the enough fire power in his eyes. Total waste movie. The agneepath of Amitabh was way too brilliant.
I guess they should have used Salman instead. Hrithik is just too sophisticated for such roles.
