It would be a lesson for Bollywood filmmakers on how to make Oscar winning
films, in a year where no Indian film even made it to the Academy Awards. A
week-long film festival at Mumbai's Chandan Cinema brings together 30 films
from all over the world that have won Oscars in the foreign language
category. But if Bollywood's filmmakers could learn after watching foreign
films, they could have done it even earlier when they tried to pinch scenes
from these  Flicks. Sadly though filmmakers have not even been able to copy
properly. Only three films Mother India, Salaam Bombay and Lagaan have
reached the nomination stage of this prestigious award till date.
