Rajamouli's
magum
opus
Baahubali
failed
to
get
an
entry
to
Oscar.
Though
most
of
the
movie
lovers
expected
it
to
be
the
official
Oscar
entry
from
India,
It
has
lost
to
a
Marathi
film
Court
directed
by
Chaitanya
Tamhane.
Amol
Palekar,
Chairman
of
India's
Oscars
jury,
has
announced
that
the
jury
has
decided
to
send
Court
as
the
India's
official
entry
to
Oscar
in
the
best
foreign
film
category.
He
also
added
that
Baahubali
and
Srimanthudu
were
part
of
the
race
for
the
Oscar
entry.
The
jury
has
watched
both
the
films
and
included
them
in
the
final
30
films
to
send
to
Oscar.
However,
Court
has
got
the
unanimous
votes
from
the
jury
and
since
there
is
only
one
option
to
chose,
the
jury
has
gone
with
Court.
"As
an
Indian
filmmaker,
I
feel
proud
that
there
was
more
than
one
film
which
we
thought
deserved
that
could
be
nominated",
Amol
Palekar
added.
He
also
affirmed
that
they
have
been
plain
in
the
process
of
selection.
