Never no way...Paheli can match with Black. I think the jury have never seen a movie in their life.. They descouraging the director like bansali to make the film of universal calibre....
It is the most ridiculous, pathetic, and the most irrational decision ever made by a learned jury. It only goes on to proove how we value or in other ignore good creative work and appreciate work which is less than mediocre.
Paheli is no match for Black, on any front. It should not have been in the list of contending films shortlisted for Oscar nomination in the first place! I cannot rule out any foul play by Paheli's producer-SRK in adopting some armtwisting techniques to get a decision in Paheli's favor.
Even the Indian audiances did not accept Paheli....then how can we expect that it will be nominated for Oscar awards. I have seen Black it was magnificent....The best of all the movies which i watched so far. It is mercyfull that we have lost a chance to get Oscar.
dearest jury, you all are fool and blind. i have always known that politics plays in every part of india. and in this great moment also played. BLACK IS THE BEST. Paheli has not got anything worthy in comparison with BLACK. everything in BLACK is perfect. with BLACK we may have won OSCAR.
