Explanation

'Mother India' (1957) was the first Indian film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It lost to 'Nights of Cabiria' by one vote. 'Lagaan' was nominated much later in 2002, while 'Mera Naam Joker' and 'Bandini' were never Oscar nominees in this category.
