India's hopes at the Oscars crashed, as 'Peepli Live' failed to impress the jury.
New Delhi: 'Peepli Live' which was India's official entry to the Oscars for the Best Foreign Language Film is out of the race now. An Aamir Khan production, the movie did not make it to the final nine.
The academy has voted and have brought the list of probable nominations down to nine films.
'Peepli Live', which beat films like 'Udaan' and 'Rajneeti' to become India's pick, failed to impress the judges at the Academy.
The film was a satire on the Indian media and had no big stars.
Critically acclaimed films like 'Outside The Law', 'Incendies' and 'Dog-tooth' are among the nine films shortlisted for the next round.
