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.
