Jallikattu, India’s official entry for 93rd Academy Awards, out of Oscar race
With ‘Jallikattu’ exiting the foreign film race, India has once again drawn a blank in the category. The last Indian film that made it to the final five in the Best International Feature category was Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Lagaan’ in 2001. ‘Mother India’ (1958) and ‘Salaam Bombay’ (1989) are the other two Indian movies to have made it to the top five.
