Gujarati film ‘Chhello Show’ is India’s official entry for Oscars 2023
Films RRR and The Kashmir Files were also in the race but they did not make it but created a lot of buzz.
The Gujarati film ‘Chhello Show’ has been chosen as the official entry for Oscars 2023 from India in the Best International Feature Film category, Film Federation of India headed by Chairman Director Nagabarna announced on Tuesday.
Putting all speculations to rest and beating Anupam Kher starrer ‘The Kashmir Files’ or Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s ‘RRR’, a small-budget Gujarati drama ‘Chello Show’, the coming-of-age drama made it to the cut.
Titled “Last Film Show” in English, the movie, directed by Pan Nalin, will release in theatres countrywide on October 14. The film is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur’s banner Roy Kapur Films, Jugaad Motion Pictures, Monsoon Films, Chhello Show LLP, and Marc Duale.
The movie, which features Bhavin Rabari, Bhavesh Shrimali, Richa Meena, Dipen Raval and Paresh Mehta, had its world premiere as the opening film at the Tribeca Film Festival in June last year.
The film is inspired by Nalin’s own memories of falling in love with movies as a child in rural Gujarat. It won multiple awards during its festival run, including the Golden Spike at the 66th Valladolid Film Festival in Spain where it also enjoyed commercial success during its theatrical run.
