Aamir Khan Eyes Oscars Again

Aamir Khan eyes Oscars again as his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par will be India’s official entry for 81st Oscar Annual Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Film.

Film Federation of India (FFI) head Suneel Darshan confirmed the news of Taare Zameen Par being chosen as India’s entry for Oscars over eight other contenders namely - Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar, Farhan Akhtar’s Rock On, Subhash Ghai’s Black and White, Nishikant Kamat’s Mumbai Meri Jaan, Neeraj Pandey’s A Wednesday, Telugu film Ghanyam, Marathi films Tingya and Valu.

The theme and plot of Taare Zameen Par is likely to impress the jury of the Oscars for being a very universal theme yet being so Indian. What is more impressive is the handling of such a sensitive subject by Aamir Khan, who was just making his directorial debut.

We really hope this movie brings an Oscar home… In that case, Aamir Khan will officially become the crowned Badshaah of Bollywood with all the International recognition.

We wish Aamir all the Best!
