Best Picture category ke alawa, Indian cinema chamak rahi hai. Guneet Monga dwara produce ki gayi short film “Anuja,” Live Action Short category ke liye shortlist ki gayi hai. Ye dil ko chhu jane wali film garment industry mein bachchon ke mazdoor kaam karne ke serious issue ko ujaagar karti hai.
Kiran Rao ki “Laapataa Ladies,” jo Best International Feature Film category ke liye India ki official entry thi, shortlist mein nahi aa saki, lekin is saal ka yeh strong performance Indian cinema ki badhti hui global recognition ko underline karta hai.
