Baahubali And Srimanthudu Rejected By Iffi

In a major blow to Telugu Film Industry, not even a single Telugu film has been selected to be screened in the Indian Panorama section of the 46th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2015. Even SS Rajamoui's epic Baahubali, Mahesh Babu's Srimanthudu have failed to make it to the list.

 

Among the 26 films selected under this section are seven Bengali, five Hindi and four Malayalam films where they will be screened at the festival held in Goa from Nov 20 to Nov 30. It's learnt total 5 Telugu films have been sent for nominations including Baahubali, one of the biggest blockbusters this year.

However, much to everyone's shocker, selection committee, jury which watched Baahubali was not impressed with the film and didn't send it to the central committee. "The jury members took 27 days to finalize the selections," IFFI said in a statement, adding that the films are chosen for thematic and aesthetic excellence. This clearly means, Telugu films, particularly Baahubali, failed to meet the thematic, aesthetic excellence.

This is not first time not a single Telugu film is selected for the Indian Panorama. Even last year, not a single Telugu film made it to the festival despite the fact that two Telugu directors were in the selection panel. Since the emphasis was on quality , the two selectors K N T Sastry and Ganga Raju Gunnam went by the prescribed norms. This time, Telugu director and national award winner Praveen Sattaru was among the 13 jury members. "There is a criteria for selecting movies for the Indian Panorama. The Telugu films did not meet it," Praveen was quoted as saying.

On whole, Telugu film fraternity and Telugu film lovers are in a deep shock that Baahubali, Srimanthudu couldn't make it to Indian Panorama. It's high time, filmmakers should introspect on films that churning out each year. Movies might be commercially successful, yet they should also be screened at International Film Festivals to spread the glory of Telugu films.

Iffi is having worst judges who watch the films. Mainly northindian flop films ni kuda tesukuntaru and there is no telugu judges when promo is happening. That is the reason why none of the telugu film entered Iffi till now.
