There’s an open call for the 2023 Oscars? It has been reported that Rajamouli’s magnum opus is a viable contender to win the award for Best International Feature Film category.
RRR has fascinated westerners in SS Rajamouli’s mastery. Marvel enthusiasts say it’s an unforgettable film-viewing experience.News from IndieWire, a film reviewer, states that the well-received RRR aka Roudram Ranam Rudhiram will win an Oscar in 2023. This could qualify as one of the best international feature films. RRR has received a lot of love from film experts, filmmakers, and western audiences in the last few days. Dr. Strange director Scott Derrickson watched RRR on his birthday. He tweeted, “To celebrate my birthday last night, my wife, kids and I watched @RRRMovie — what an awesomely outrageous roller coaster of a movie. Loved it.”
It seems Guardians of the Galaxy maker James Gunn liked the movie, too. The movie was a big hit with him. SS Rajamouli has been praised by some critics as well. Writer of films like Mandy, Aaron Stewart Ahn tweeted that he would love to write a film for Ram Charan. He tweeted, “Would love to write a movie for a movie star like Ram Charan, just to work with such a great actor and cinematic presence. But if he works in international productions he must be the lead! Hollywood usually doesn’t get that. I’m here for more great Indian movies.”
Other films that are strong contenders for Best International Feature Film include “Both Sides of the Blade” (France), “Corsage” (Austria), “Decision to Leave” (Korea), “Holy Spider” (Denmark), “One Fine Morning” (France), and “Tori and Lokita” (Belgium). In contrast to Decision to Leave from Korea, Utama is about a couple living in the arid highlands of the Bolivian Altiplano. It has been said that, just like Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire which won eight Oscars, RRR has the potential to succeed in the technical categories as well.
Well, such flattering remarks should affect the jury that selects the Indian film for the Oscars. It means that SS Rajamouli and his team have a lot of work to do to get this out there.
