Paheli

Paheli maybe a good movie but nothing compared to Black. In any account you cannot compare Paheli with Black. It was really a shock to know that a flim like Black was not nominated for Oscar......

PAHELI can no way be compared with the class of BLACK
by Jeet Banerjee on Sep 27, 2005 03:06 PM

PAHELI is not the right choice on this occasion just because we have seen BLACK and BLACK i think is the most sensitive movie in the recent times. Since i have also watched PAHELI, it cant be compared with BLACK. The jury board must give a second thought on it and if it happens, it will be a tragedy for Indian Cinema.

How can they choose such a lousy movie like Paheli just because it\'s colorful and all. Black may be a copy but it\'s so brilliantly done. Look at the performances by Amitabh,Rani and Ayesha.Movies like Black aren\'t produced everyday in Bollywood and if they are not even sent as our official entry to the Oscars then it\'s such a shame. Even Veer-Zaara would have been a better choice than Paheli.

There are better choices than paheli for the Oscars. Eventhough Black was rejected by Cannes, this cannot be the reason for not Being selected to the Oscars.

I agree with u sailaja.
But Black seems to be the viewer's choice while Paheli is the jury's choice.
Let's wish paheli to bring laurels for our country.
be Indian By indian. :)

Paheli cant be India's entry to Oscars. The film has totally failed to portray the issence of an Indian folktale. This will give wrong signal that irrespective of quality of Cinema, movies of certain set of directors are treated differently. This is 100% 1st round elimination.

paheli no choice for oscar
by MILIND UKEY on Sep 27, 2005 02:56 PM

i think paheli is a wrong choice.
the film has alredy killed the true spirit of the original story. bad direction. and not of international standards.
swadesh or black right choice.
swadesh could have made to top five.
this looks like a case of pleasing someone for personal benefits than working towards national pride and responsibilty.
sad indeed.

Rejecting black for Oscars
by Ram ED on Sep 27, 2005 02:43 PM

Black is a very good film so is Paheli. Black is an inspired movie, agreed, but what will the jurors at Oscars say.."Oh! this movie is inspired!!! and not a copy of Miracle Worker :-P (even if some scenes in both movies look same) and we have to judge purely on its own"
