PROUD TO BE INDIAN....

AT LAST all our dreams came true...Indian film is roaring to make its mark in the OSCARS from allmost decades now and atlast chappad phad ke we won 9 awards... 8 for 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 1 for "Smile Pinky" CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM OF "'Slumdog Millionaire'" and "Smile Pinky" and a special mention to our own A R REHMAN...We love you and you made us proud in front of WORLD CINEMA...Great work..

I would seriosly felt more happy if we would have got it for a film like LAGAAN or A WEDNESDAY because they are produced by us, directed by us we Indians...but not the least this is just a starting...Indian Cinema has a long way to go and many more bright movies are expected which really make some history in FUTURE...
