Bollywood Barfi Goes For Oscars
The magic of Anurag Basu Barfi! has worked. The heartwarming movie, about love between a deaf and mute boy and an autistic girl, has been chosen as India's official entry for the Oscars Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Murphy aka Barfi, and Priyanka Chopra as Jhilmil, has been lauded in film circles for its simplistic and moving narrative that has managed to tug at the heartstrings of audiences which equally enjoy commercial potboilers. The makers are joyous about the news. Barfi! released Sep 14, and is still drawing full houses in theaters.[/h2]
