The contention list of films to be nominated for the 95th Oscar Awards has been revealed on Tuesday, in which this time 7 Indian films like The Kashmir Files, RRR, Chhelo Show and two documentaries have made it to the list. After The Kashmir Files was shortlisted for the Oscar Award, actor Mithun Chakraborty has now broken his silence on the International Film Festival of India, 2023 held in Goa, after the Israeli jury member called the film vulgar and a propaganda film.

Mithun Chakraborty said, “It feels great that The Kashmir Files has been shortlisted. This is the answer to all the criticisms. The jury, which called this film vulgar and propaganda, has also got a befitting reply today. People have liked this film a lot. According to reports, the veteran actor further said, I will not give any controversial statement. It is sad when a film is not allowed in a certain theatre, but that film is shortlisted for the Oscars. Indian films have come a long way and at the same time I wish all the best to the shortlisted films apart from The Kashmir Files.
