    dont tell me that "Lagaan" was nominated just to make up for not selecting Hey ram...

    Alien, Lagaan was the best chance in history of Indian nominations.......FYI Hey Ram was not even in the last 5.......and u r already making up reasons for a probable-oscar for RDB......so once RDB gets an award u all will say they gave it bcos they wanted to give it for a indian movie and not that RDB deserved it.... ...

    frankly speaking, i have better hopes on Water......

    Maddy, U got it all wrong once again ....

    I, ofcourse, knew that Lagaan went the closest : that is into the last 5 ... But what I meant was, If there was an Indian film that deserved Oscar the most, then that is Hey Ram, of the last decade or so ...(among those popular ones ... forget those offbeat ones that is hardly known anywhere)..
    Lagaan def doesn't deserve it .... When compared to Lagaan, RDB deserves it better....

    Cool Maddy. Did you not see the :P emoticon at the end of my post. I think you were in a hurry to roll and laugh. Just to be clear in this post, I shall abstain from any form of kidding.

    I take nothing away from the Lagaan team. I was cheering pretty hard even though I knew they were up against Amelie - which I liked much better.

    As for RDB. I do not share the opinion that is a great movie but I will definitely be cheering for an oscar. We need not be clinical in assessing whether it is 'better' (however we define that) than the others in contention. Given CTHD was considered better than Hey Ram by the academy folks we never know what's in store.

    To be kind we should not attempt to compare Lagaan,RDB etc. with Hey ! Ram. Even Kamal's later movies (AS, Virumaandi) cannot match up to that comparison.

    RDB was a great effort from Raykesh Mehra........infact for North Indians its one of the best made works ever in Hindi.......its an epic.......a cult movie for the youth........even in the south, i was really surprised and heart warmed to see the anti-quota protest in Bangalore also was similar to RDB style....infact many websites were carrying predictions that Arjun Singh would be assasinated like the minister in RDB and they updgraded the security for him....... ......such was the impact....i dont think there has been any inspiring movie like this in recent Indian film history

    Rang De Basanti - name itself sends shivers thru my spine.......jo khoon desh ke liye kaam nahin aaye, woh khoon nahin paani hain dialogue makes me cry even now......
