Indian films on global stage
The 80th Golden Globe will be cherished for a long time especially by the South Indian film industry for this historic moment.
It was the Hindi movie Do Ankhen Barah Haath which was first nominated for a Golden Globe in the year 1957. This was followed by Apur Sansar in 1961, Salaam Bombay in 1989, and Monsoon Wedding in 2002.
In terms of success for Indian films at the Golden Globe, Gandhi made it big at the 1983 edition by winning five awards. It went on to bag eight Oscars including Best Film at the BAFTA.
Thereafter, it was the turn of composer-singer AR Rahman for Slumdog Millionaire. Now, all eyes are on RRR for its nomination at the Oscars.
