in a disappointing development, Suriya’s Jai Bhim which was rumored to be the favorite to enter the 2022 Oscars nomination race did not make it to the final cut and was not nominated to the Oscars.
Jai Bhim recevied a whole lot of critical appreciation and there were several media reports, claiming that the film will be entering the Oscars nomination race. But that did not happent for undisclosed reasons.
Well, Jai Bhim has a relevant social message and a hard-hitting narrative. The film casts light on the ST community in Tamil Nadu that was subject to oppression for many generations now. The film has ticked all the right boxes to be termed oscar worthy but it simply wasn’t to be for the social drama.
While Jai Bhim did not make the final cut, another Indian documentary, Writing With Fire made it to the final nominations list of the Oscars.
Jai Bhim’s exclusion left South Indian cinema followers in a state of disappointment as it was widely specualted that the film actually had a good chance of making it to the Oscars and bring pride to South Indian cienma.
Jai Bhim is an intense social drama which has Suriya in the central role. He produced the film as well. TJ Gnanavel directed the film.
