Not just SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus but there are 2 more important categories India is hopeful for.
Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes has been nominated in the Best Documentary Film Category. On the other hand, Elephant Whisperer by Kartiki Gonsalves is all set to compete in the Best Documentary Short Film category.
