New Delhi: Jacky Bhagnani and newbie Neha Sharma's ‘Youngistaan' released in March this year has been sent to Oscars as an independent entry from India for the ‘Best Foreign Language Film'.

This comes as a surprise to those who have watched the movie as there seemed nothing so appreciable about it.

 
A remake of a Telugu film ‘Leader', ‘Youngistaan' shows Jacky Bhagnani leading the country as a Prime Minister after the sudden demise of his father. Instead of concentrating on the country's pathetic conditions he was seen more concerned about his girl friend and relationship. Having used some of the tricks of the trade to tackle the veterans of politics he stands out victorious in elections winning both the seat and the countrymen's hearts.
 
But this was only in the movie; however, nothing of that sort happened in reality. The film was not able to stand for long in the box office. Neha Sharma was only namesake in the film although our young PM's life revolved around her only throughout the movie.

Late actor Farooq Sheikh also played a crucial role in the movie. Except his acting, nothing else was watchable in the movie and now it being sent to Oscars is no less than a shock to viewers.
 
Social media is abuzz with criticism for the film; however let us also understand that it is only a private entry which does not confirms it having been nominated for the Oscars; the list of which will be out in January 2015.
