The Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has asked Ashutosh Gowariker for his screenplay of Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey for the permanent core collection. The merits of this selection is not based on box office performance (then this one would not have made it) but mainly on the artistic merits, original screenplay with a substance.
Ashu who made a couple of disasters like What’s Your Raashee and KHJJS is certainly down, but not out.
He’s also the man who made Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar. Hope he remembers that.
