So far in the history of Indian cinema, only three Bollywood films have made it to the nomination stage of the Oscar Awards. Which amongst the following is the movie that did not share this honour?
-
Mother India
-
Gandhi
-
Salaam Bombay
-
Lagaan
B
Correct answer
Explanation
"Mother India" (1957), "Salaam Bombay" (1988), and "Lagaan" (2001) are the three Indian films that received actual Oscar nominations in their respective categories. "Gandhi" (1982), while a landmark film about India directed by Richard Attenborough, was a British production - not an Indian Bollywood film - despite its subject matter and Indian cast.
