Director Pan Nalin’s film ‘Chhello Show’ titled ‘Last Film Show’ in English, has been selected as India’s official entry into the Oscars 2023. This film was internationally acclaimed for its interesting story and narration. This film has hit the theatres in Gujarat and on select screens across the country on October 14 2022.
Surprising is that this coming-of-age movie has suppressed the likes of Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ and SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ to become the country’s official contender in the Best Foreign Film category at the upcoming Academy Awards.
Sharing his happiness on the same, director Pan Nalin took to his Twitter handle and wrote, ” OMG! What a night this is going to be! Gratitude to Film Federation of India and thank you FFI jury members. Thank you for believing in the Chhello Show. Now I can breathe again and believe in cinema that entertains, inspires and enlightens!”.
This Gujrat super-hit film is said to be an autobiographical drama that follows nine-year-old boy Samay, whose life turns upside down after watching his first movie.
Now this Last Film Show will go up against other international films like Korea’s ‘Decision to Leave’ and Mexico’s ‘Bardo’ that are already among the favourites of many people to win the first prize.
