Absolutely , Oscar shoudnt be the benchmark for Indian Cinema . But participation in such global event gives Indian Cinema Global Exposure - the world notices Indian cinema and at same time Indian cinema makers too start thinking globally which results in improved cinema. So i think we are not in a position to choose at this point of time :evil:
The problem with us is that even after 60 years independence our minds are still enslaved by the west. We still prefer to be western in our attitudes and pride on owning imported goods. Thus, its the same with our film industry. We always try to mimic the western world and then plead for their appreciation for the same as if we were their pets. We even name our Indian film industry as "Bollywood" which sounds like a duplicate of Hollywood. I think if we stop craving for their attention, we might just get some. We don't need others to tell us if we are good, we gotta believe in ourselves. I can name so many Hollywood movies which are purely crap and so many Indian movies that can outshine even the Oscar winners. Its just the matter of standing up for ourselves.

Why Bollywood Needs Oscar award ?

Nomination of Lagaan created lots of hype about Oscar award in india.
after that every year we started sending one movie for oscar award.
last year it was Rang de basanti which in my opinion was not better than Lage raho munnabhai. again bollywoof failed to win oscar. :twisted:
When we have lots of awards of us like filmfare screen award , iifa award etc. then why need Oscar ? :?
