Anurag Kashyap’s comment that India picks the “wrong” films for the Oscars prompts a response from Gondhal director. Kashyap publicly cited films he believes deserved consideration, including The Lunchbox and All We Imagine As Light.
In the remarks highlighted by NDTV, the Gondhal director urges audiences and others to “watch before passing a verdict,” reacting to Kashyap’s framing of India’s Oscar choices. The exchange centers on differing views about which Indian films are best suited for Academy recognition.
The reporting focuses on the director’s rebuttal rather than on any formal changes to India’s selection process. Overall, the outlets agree on the trigger—Kashyap’s Oscars-related criticism and his examples of specific films—while presenting the Gondhal director’s counterpoint as a call for evaluation based on viewing the works themselves.
