Indian films have had little luck at the Oscars. This year’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category, “Newton”, a dark comedy set against the backdrop of elections in the world’s largest democracy, couldn’t even make it to the final five. Only three Indian films — “Mother India” (1957), “Salaam Bombay!” (1988) and “Lagaan” (2001) — have made it to the final five nominees of the Best Foreign Language film at the Academy Awards. None have got the award.
The 90th Oscars were held on Sunday, March 4, 2018, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, and were televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscars were also televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.
