Description: The Film Federation of India (FFI) has chosen Pan Nalin’s *Last Film Show* (Chhello Show) as India’s official entry for the Oscars. This Gujarati film, acclaimed at various international festivals over the past two years, has garnered significant attention. Set for release in Gujarat and selected theaters across India on October 14, 2022, the film has sparked mixed reactions, especially as it was selected over highly anticipated films like *RRR* and *The Kashmir Files*. While many eagerly await its release, others question the decision to choose a film not yet widely available in India.
*Last Film Show* is a coming-of-age drama centered on a young boy’s fascination with the magic of cinema, exploring themes of light, shadow, and celluloid projection. Premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2021, the film is set against the backdrop of the digital revolution.
The Oscars, officially known as the Academy Awards, will take place on March 12, 2023. The selection of *Chhello Show* has stirred both excitement and debate, with opinions ranging from surprise to outright disbelief, as it triumphed over other notable submissions like *RRR*, *The Kashmir Files*, *Malayankunju*, and *Shyam Singha Roy*.
