Gujarati film Chhello Show (Last Film Show) is India's official Oscars entry. The Film Federation of India, which made the announcement on Tuesday (September 20), also faced backlash on social media for sending a Gujarati film as the official entry of India for the Oscars and not SS Rajamouli's RRR.
Many film critics along with netizens took to social media to call out the decision of the Federation of India.

Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh also tweeted, "Not #RRR. Not #TheKashmirFiles... #LastFilmShow [#ChhelloShow] is #India's official entry to the #Oscars... OFFICIAL POSTER..."

However, it seems like there is still a chance for Ram Charan and Jr NTR-starrer RRR to get nominated. Yes, you read it right.
As per the trade analyst and film critic Ramesh Bala, the SS Rajamouli-starrer can be nominated for mainstream categories except for the Best International Film category as Chhello Show has already been nominated in that category.

In a major upset, Chhello Show defeated The Kashmir Files and RRR in the Oscars race. Many were expecting two films - RRR and The Kashmir Files - as India's official entry for the Oscars.
