[icernet] Was Devdas right choice for Oscars?

[Arul Selvan]

The Rs 50 crore extravaganza, Devdas, adapted from Sarat Chandra 
Chattopadhyays novel about a frustrated lovers masochistic journey 
into despair, alcoholism and death didnt make it to the final five at 
the Oscars. While most of the industry still stands by Devdas, there are 
those who believe that we should have picked another film to send to the 
Oscars. 
The Legend of Bhagat Singh would have been a better choice,
 
thinks director David Dhawan. 
Its not only a well-made film with great 
performances, it echoes a sentiment Western audiences understand.
