Angh Makers on Why Indian Films Don’t Make It To Oscar Noms, Forget About a Win

Nagaland-set film Angh did not become India's official entry for the 2027 Oscars. But just days after losing that race, the film has found another route to the Academy Awards, and this time, it does not depend on an Indian selection committee. And that's exactly what the jury was hoping. Angh director Theja Rio, Producer Nandy and Distributor Gaurav Dhingra in an exclusive conversation with NDTV opened up about their journey with Angh and why the reasoning given by jury of them not making it as India’s official entry to the Oscars is unacceptable. Also why Indian films never make it to even nominations for academy awards.
