That’s Good News Actually,
RDB was all in all a great movies, and it’s actually worth the oscars.
But I don’t think it will win, since it’s a tendency that Indians are nominated but never win as usual!

That’s heartening news, a generation did indeed awaken with this one; whats more Aamir has clearly stated that there will not be any lobbying from the RDB team for the prize; lets hope Aamir gets 2nd time lucky and we win an Oscar.
