A jury member explains that the film “Dhurandhar” was not selected as India’s official entry for the Oscars, outlining how the jury reached its final choice. The jury’s last set of shortlisted films includes “Gondhal,” “Angh,” and “Maine Vaapas Aayunga,” with “Gondhal” ultimately selected as the entry.
The explanation places “Dhurandhar” outside the jury’s final three and indicates that the selection decision occurs after multiple rounds of consideration rather than based on earlier submissions alone. While the reporting focuses specifically on the jury’s reasoning for the final selection, it also reflects the broader process of choosing a representative film for the Academy Awards.
Across the available accounts, the key common point is the composition of the jury’s final shortlist and that “Gondhal” wins selection among those remaining contenders, leaving “Dhurandhar” unselected before the final decision.
