Inspired Barfi! The Right Choice For Oscar ?

-
Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra-Ileana D'Cruz starrer Barfi! has been nominated as India's entry at the Oscars in Foreign Language Film category. The film, directed by Anurag Basu, has beaten 19 other films to be named India's official entry to the Oscars.

It is understandable that everybody connected with Barfi! is elated over its selection as the official Indian entry for Oscars, but the big question is Whether or not Barfi! deserves this honor as a number of scenes copied from popular international films like "The Adventurer", Kikujiro, The Notebook and old Chaplin classics are evident. The jury at the Oscars will catch the plagiarized portions pretty easily making it highly unlikely for the movie to even make it to the nominations let alone bring home an Oscar.

Catch the video below from 1:54 To 4:10 to watch some of the scenes which are direct lifts from international projects...Video Link >>

Before the country recognised the talent of AR Rahman, the celebrated composer says there was a phase in his life where he felt like a failure and thought about ending his life almost every day. The Oscar-winning composer says the initial low phase of his career eventually helped him emerge braver. "Up until 25, I used to think about suicide. Most of us feel they are not good enough. Because I lost my father, there was this void... There were so many things happening. "(But) that in a way made me more fearless. Death is a permanent thing for everyone.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...
