Aravind...That film was nominated for Best Foriegn Language Film but didn't win. I have replied with proof in the other post.
This is the comment that I posted in radiosargam column but it never got posted! Get your facts right. Your statements are so baseless. Did you ever bothered to check www.goldenglobes.org? "Do Ankhen Baara Haath" was nominated for Best Foriegn Language Film under the aka title "Two Eyes, Twelve Hands", but never won the award. Check the link http://www1.goldenglobes.org/browse/film/25731 yourself. Now you know who is a misinformed "whatever"! Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate!
