'Gully Boy’ echoed the voice of the streets, it will always be one of my most personal films. As always, I will keep striving towards making the flag of Hindi cinema fly high. - Ranveer Singh#Gullyboy #Oscars2020 🏆 pic.twitter.com/pbAAognmSc

Other films in the running alongside Gully Boy were Ayushmann Khurrana’s AndhaDhun, Article 15 and Badhaai Ho, apart from south hits such as Super Deluxe and Dear Comrade.
Both Kumbalangi Nights and Uyare are top notch films and I’m not surprised neither was considered for India’s Oscar entry. Quality regional cinema is Bollywood’s bitch.

So many other choices, but then I'm almost always disappointed with the selection
