Water is cheap

And Deepa Mehta is acting ultra cheap. She figured out that this year India has some really good movies lined up this year as potential entries - Lage Raho Munnabhai, Rang De Basanti, Omkara etc and her movie Water would stand no chance as India's official entry to the oscars. Thus, she got her movie Water to be nominated from Canada!

I do not care how good this movie is. I would probably not even go watch it even if it was released in India without any cuts. India's entry to Oscars should be a movie that really represents the spirit of this country and showcases the performances of some of the leading actors of Indian film industry. At the time of "Monsoon Wedding" and "Lagaan", there was absolutely no competition. Lagaan was superlative.

Just heard on television that Rang De Basanti is the official entry from India. It is a good movie and I really home it goes all the way.
