What if it was an Indian production ?

There has been so much of excitement after the Anglo production " Slumdog Millionaire" sweeping the Oscars . Every Indian is proud of the fact that A.R .Rehman and Resul Pookutty are Oscar winners . Congratulations to both of them for their work .

However the question arises "What if the same movie was an Indian production in English ?" The academy would have treated the film as any normal entry in the category of Best Foreign Language film , it perhaps would not have even got nominated . Since it was an Anglo Production the film was nominated under different categories . What happened thereafter is history having won 8 Oscars . There has been umpteen Indian movies which fare much better than the Slumdog Millionaire in all categories . The Director Danny Boyle was lucky to find Fox Searchlight Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures to distribute the film for him . He had not found a distributor for the movie and was only planning to release the movie on DVDs.

Having found a distributor and marketed the movie in the right way "Slumdog Millionaire" got nominated for the Oscars and also managed all the Oscars . Does that sound rigged or just lucky ?

I only hope we have an Indian production nominated along with other Hollywood Movies and sweep all Oscars some day. That would truly make us all proud .
