The Gujarathi movie “The Good Road” has been nominated for the Oscar. It will represent India at the Oscar 2013. The film was picked by a committee appointed by the Film Federation of India (FFI), which was led by celebrated Bengali filmmaker Gautam Ghose. Debut feature filmmaker Gyan Correa has directed this movie. Irfan Khan’s “The Lunch Box” has been the strong contender for this movie at the Oscar but could’nt make it.
Filmmaker Goutam Ghose, chairman of the 16-member jury appointed by the Film Federation of India, said the selectors felt “The Good Road” was the best choice. He says, “It was a unanimous decision to select 'The Good Road', which is a movie produced by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC)".
The director of the movie Gyan Correa says, “I have no clue how we are going to go ahead with it. I have no experience with this”. He also says, ““I guess me and my producers will sit down and talk about it. If we win, great. If not, we live another day”. 24krafts wishes the good luck for the movie unit.
