I really believe Indian selectors do not want to win Oscars. Every year some pathetic movie is chosen from list of beautiful movies. Result is same all the time.what about article 15?

Oscar award committee main IIFA award committe walo ko hire kiya hai tho award tho apni hai is baar Sahi setting lagaya hai Bollywood walo ne Well done !!!!!!!!

seltarro A masterpiece 👌

Sh*t f**king movie which is Ace grade copy of 8 mile

So well deserved..!

Gully Boy highlights polygamy & domestic violence in the Muslim community, especially in the lower class, slums of Mumbai. Next time hope they try 2 make a film without the usual stereotypes of eye surma, 2 wives & a hijabi girl shackled in a very rigid socio-cultural framework👎

🥇🏆☝️

TheVikasKhanna Our jury is stupid to shortlist this movie

Am not sure who decides India's entry but they seem to have a mindset that India stands a better chance to win by glorifying its poverty & slums !

🙄🙄🙄

Wooo well deserved 😍❤️❤️❤️ GullyBoyForOscars

RanveerSinghtbt The Ranveer Singh 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Super deluxe and Vadachennai had a chance of making it to the final five. And they decide this🤣

Badhaai Ho or Andhadhun would have been a better choice but anyways hoping India wins !

TheVikasKhanna Tumbbad deserved It was a brilliant film I think the critics haven't watched any Malayalam movies Tamil movies such as vadachennai, pariyerum perumal,super deluxe deserved much more

Student of the year 2 also deserved to be at the Oscars. The selectors are idiot to ignore this gem. boycotoscar antinationaloscars

sabya2km Article 15 deserves that recognition more than any other film, but that won't happen and we all know why

Already lost it

Best film forever to all generation . Oscar jury are you ready to see something unique 📢

one of the best Indian movies I've seen in a long time. Excellent choice

Another Chance lost. Will get rejected from the first list itself. Indian Film Federation should have learnt from Barfi. There's too much plagiarism from 8 Mile which even won Eminem Oscar.

KingOfHearts_RS Much deserved 🙌

Peranbu would have been a better choice tbh.
