New Delhi :

‘All That Breathes’ a  Documentary feature film based on the lives of two brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad of Delhi, who work out of their derelict basement in Delhi’s Wazirabad, to rescue and treat injured birds, especially the black kites, has made it to the Oscar nominations list.

‘All That Breathes’ made by Shaunak Sen has been nominated in the ‘Documentary Feature Film’ category against ‘All the Beauty and the Bloodshed’, ‘Fire Of Love,’ ‘A House made of Splinters,’ and ‘Navalny’.

Besides, the most- predicted and the much-celebrated music of ‘RRR’ also made it to the Oscars race. The magnum opus film’s energy-packed track ‘Naatu Naatu’ made it to the nominations this year in the ‘Original Song’ category.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, every Indian’s heart was pumped with pride and joy as we secured three nominations this year.

This lyrical composition of ‘Naatu Naatu’ by MM Keeravani, high energy rendition by singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, unique choreography by Prem Rakshith, and lyrics by Chandrabose are all the elements that make this ‘RRR’ mass anthem a perfect dance craze.

The song is competing against ‘Applause’ from the film ‘Tell It Like A Woman,’ ‘Hold My Hand’ from the movie ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Lift me Up’ from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ and ‘This Is Life,’ from ‘Everything, Everywhere All At Once’.

Adding to the Indian list of nominations for Oscars 2023 is Kartiki Gonsalves’ ‘The Elephant Whisperers.”  

 ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ has been nominated in the ‘Documentary Short Film Category’ against ‘Haul Out,’ ‘How Do You Measure A Year?’ ‘The Martha Mitchell Effect,’ and ‘Stranger At The Gate’.

The film’s plot revolves around a family who adopts two orphan baby elephants in Tamil Nadu’s Mudumalai Tiger Reserve.

The Oscars are going to be held on March 13 and while the wait is going to be quite a long one from now, the nominations have sure lifted the spirits of not just the crew and cast of the films mentioned above, but also of everyone who hopes to see an Indian movie bagging the prestigious award.
