India's 'Liar's Dice' out of Oscars race

December 20, 2014 17:23

India's official entry "Liar's Dice" is out of Oscars' race after it failed to make the cut in the Academy's shortlist in the best foreign film category. Nine films advanced to the next round of voting in the category for the 87th Academy Awards out of 83 movies that had qualified in the category.

"Liar's Dice", a road drama about a tribal woman's journey to find her missing husband, is the debut film of Geetu Mohandas.

It stars Geetanjali Thapa and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.

The shortlist will be winnowed down to five by specially invited committees in New York, Los Angeles and, for the first time, London from January 9-11, viewing three films each day and then casting their ballots.
