Expectations were high for Pan Nalin’s Gujarati film ‘Chhello Show’ to bag a nomination for Oscar 2023 however sadly the much talked about film has missed out to enter the nomination list of the prestigous Academy Awards.

Popular director Pan Nalin's latest Gujarati feature film, titled 'Chhello Show', has been selected for the 20th edition of Robert DeNiro's Tribeca film festival.

In an incredible honor for the country, the Pan Nalin directorial and Roy Kapur's masterpiece 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') has been shortlisted in the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards.

Director Pan Nalin's film 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') is currently the talk of the town as the Gujarati film has been announced as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2023 under the Best International Feature Film category. 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') is inspired by director Pan Nalin’s own memories of falling in love with movies as a child. The film stars Bhavin Rabari, Vikas Bata, Richa Meena, Bhavesh Shrimali, dipen raval, and Rahul Koli in key roles.

Describing the set ways of India's exhibition sector, Nalin said to HT that India can be very hard on movies which are without any stars, studios or streamers. "The exhibition sector always underestimates Indian audiences, and the year 2022 has been big proof of that. I have always believed that the audiences are smarter than the filmmaker, if they are given the opportunity to watch films like Chhello Show, they will embrace it -- but the film must come to a cinema near them,” he was quoted saying.

Pan Nalin's film "Chhello Show" has won the Best Gujarati Film award at the 69th National Film Awards. The film, which also received a nod at the Oscars earlier this year, tells the story of a 9-year-old boy who spends his summer watching films in a rundown movie place. The director expressed his joy at the recognition, stating that he can now believe in cinema that entertains, inspires, and enlightens. The film stars Bhavin Rabari, Vikas Bata, Richa Meena, Bhavesh Shrimali, dipen raval, and Rahul Koli.

The trailer of Pan Nalin's 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') is now out. The film has been selected as India's Official Entry to the Best International Feature Film category at the 95th Academy Awards.

Amidst allegations that 'Chhello Show', India's official entry to the Oscars 2023 is a copy of the Academy Award-winning 1988 film 'Cinema Paradiso', director Pan Nalin has finally reacted.

Early in the movie Chhello Show (Last Film Show), wide-eyed protagonist Samay, a young boy in a small village in Saurashtra region of Gujarat, discovers 'fillam' (movie) and gets enamoured by the 35 mm medium of sound and light playing at the speed of 24 frames per second. In more ways than one, it depicts how Pan Nalin, a US-based filmmaker with roots in Gujarat, discovered and got hooked to films for life some five decades ago.

Gujarati film 'Last Film Show' ('Chhello Show') is India’s official entry to the Best International Feature Film category of the 95th Academy Awards. The announcement has surprised one and all. There was a strong undercurrent in the country that 'The Kashmir Files' or 'RRR' will make it.
