Deepa Mehta’s Water in the Oscar final five

Deepa Mehta proved it that her directorial venture “Water” is here to stay, convey a message and also to participate in the Oscar race. From being selected in the nine expected movies, the movie ‘Water’ has moved to the final five Oscar award nominations for best foreign language category.

Let’s see if the Canadian entry about India will win the race or not. The awards will be announced on the 25th of February. But Indians should keep their fingers crossed for the 23rd of February in case they do not want to miss the Oscar nominated movie on India. Speculations are high that the film will release in India after its long ban on February 23rd. Good for India if it starts accepting the ills that were committed in the past shown through a film as soon as possible.
