Filmmaker S S Rajamouli's period action blockbuster RRR failed to make the cut in the final nominations for the 2023 BAFTA Awards. The movie was in the longlist for the 'film not in English language' category but couldn't find a spot in the segment final five nominees list.
The final nominees of the category were "All Quiet on the Western Front", "Argentina, 1985", "Corsage", "Decision To Leave", and "The Quiet Girl".
All That Breathes gets a nod
Indian film All That Breathes got a spot in the Best Documentary section. Shaunak Sen’s film will be competing against All The Beauty And The Bloodshed, Moonage Daydream, Fire of Love and Navalny.
All That Breathes is set against the social unrest caused by Delhi’s poor air quality. It is based on the story of two brothers, Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud, who set out to protect Black Kites.
