Indian Film Awards - inclusive of Oscars

The Indian Film fraternity is awarded by various Production and
Television Channels in appreciation of their laborious efforts and
entertaining the nation with the largest number of films produced in
the world each year.

The Indian film Industry is appreciated not only in India but also in
the western countries. There is no dearth of film awards in India.

Infact, first there were only the Filmfare Awards, which were
considered to be the highest level of film awards.The Government of
India instituted awards like Dadasaheb Phalke Award to promote films
in india.

After some years, there were also the beginning of the Screen Awards,
The Zee Cine Awards,Stardust Awards and many more of them. This surely
shows the level of appreciation of the film industry by the
population. There are a few categories of awards that need to be
appreciated, which unfortunately are not done in some of the awards.
Example the filmfare awardees are only the ones that have their
contribution in the Hindi films, thus the contribution of the people
in the other regional fims are neglected. This explains the need for
the more new awards in the coming generations.

The IIFA Awards is one such example, where the Indian film industry is
awarded on the international front. Though the presence of the Oscar
awards has always been prominent, the most striking feature of this
award is the excellence contributed by the luminaries of only the
Hindi film industry.

Indians films still have a long way to got to Oscar Awards. "Shwas"
becomes the fourth Indian entry to the coveted annual academy awards
and the first film in the Marathi language from Maharashtra being sent
for the Oscar. This was a poignant theme that has made an impression
enough be nominated for the top shot.

Lagaan Salaam Bombay, the more recent Lagaan and the classic Mother
India, though they haven`t come home with the golden statuette, were
others that did get close. Mira Nair`s Salaam Bombay was unique in
that it picturised real slum people without the star-cast, avoiding
commercial appeal altogether. The film made it into the top five
foreign film nominees too, like `Lagaan` to come later . Yet it fell
short.

And the star - Aamir Khan had stationed himself in Los Angeles weeks
before the big day to canvass in a way no Indian film-maker had done
before.India is the only country where an individual has won an
Honorary Oscar for outstanding contribution - Satyajit Ray.Yet the
film-award remains elusive yet.

The victory of Slumdog Millionaire in Oscars has however, completely
changed the scenario.We have Oscar-winners from the fraternity as
Rehman, Resool Pukootty and Gulzaar Saab.
