Pan Nalin바카라s Gujarati film 바카라Chhello Show바카라 has been announced as India's official entry to the 95th Academy Awards in 2023.
The Film Federation of India, on Tuesday, announced India's official entry to the Oscars 2023. The Gujarati film, 바카라Chhello Show바카라, which is titled 바카라Last Film Show바카라 in English, has been picked as India's official entry to the 95th Academy Awards. The film, helmed by Pan Nalin, has been selected in the Best International Feature Film category.
FFI Secretary General Suparn Sen announced the name of the film after much deliberations by the jury, which is headed by seasoned Kannada director T.S. Nagabharana. Starring Bhavin Rabari, Vikas Bata, Richa Meena, Bhavesh Shrimali, Dipen Raval, and Rahul Koli, the film is set for a theatrical release on October 14.
For those caught unaware, 바카라Chhello Show바카라 is a coming-of-age story of a young boy living in a village in Saurashtra. It is a semi-autobiographical film and Pan Nalin recalls the childhood innocence, which is surrounded by a time when Indian cinema was undergoing a massive transition from celluloid to digital. During that time, with hundreds of single-screen cinemas disappearing, how the young boy celebrates the magic of the movies is what forms the crux of the story.
바카라Chhello Show바카라 had a long road before it could make the cut for Oscars 2023. The film had its world premiere as the opening film at the Robert De Niro바카라s Tribeca Film Festival in 2021, and travelled to several other international film festivals, taking multiple awards. It also was featured in the Golden Spike at the 66th Valladolid Film Festival in Spain, and enjoyed commercial success too.
Pan Nalin certainly was too elated at his film getting picked for the Oscars 2023. 바카라I could have never imagined such a day would come and bring light and celebration of light. 바카라Chhello Show바카라 has been enjoying love from around the world but there was an ache in my heart. How do I make India discover it? Now I can breathe again and believe in cinema that entertains, inspires, and enlightens!바카라 he said, as reported by Variety.
The film, which is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, Pan Nalin, Dheer Momaya and Mark Duale, is also backed by partners Samuel Goldwyn Films and Orange Studio. While Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired all US rights to the film, it is represented in international markets by Orange Studio.
Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur reportedly said, 바카라There could not be a more apt time for a film like Chhello Show, that celebrates the magic and wonder of cinema and the theatrical experience. When cinema-going around the world has been disrupted by a pandemic, it reminds audiences anew of the first time they fell in love with the experience of watching a movie in a darkened cinema hall.바카라
Coming back to Nalin, his earlier films include 바카라Samsara바카라 (2001), 바카라Valley of Flowers바카라 (2006), 바카라Angry Indian Goddesses바카라 (2015) and 바카라Ayurveda: Art of Being바카라 (2001).
At the Oscars 2023 race, he witnessed competition from S.S. Rajamouli바카라s 바카라RRR바카라, Vivek Agnihotri바카라s 바카라The Kashmir Files바카라, Sajimon Prabhakar바카라s 바카라Malayankunju바카라, and Rahul Sankrityan바카라s 바카라Shyam Singha Roy바카라.
As for Gujarati films, 바카라Chhello Show바카라 is the second Gujarati film after 바카라The Good Road바카라 in 2013 to have made the cut for the prestigious awards. Last year, Tamil film 바카라Koozhangal바카라 (Pebbles), was India바카라s official entry at the Oscars.
In the case of Indian films at the Oscars 2023, earlier three films have been nominated for best international feature 바카라 바카라Mother India바카라 (1957), 바카라Salaam Bombay!바카라 (1988) and 바카라Lagaan바카라 (2001). While none have won an award, 바카라Lagaan바카라 made it to the final five.
