Geetu Mohandas’s directorial debut, Liar’s Dice, India’s official entry for the best foreign language feature film for the Academy Awards, 2015, is now upping the ante for the Oscar race with several new developments.

The film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Geetanjali Thapa won two National Film Awards, including Best Actress for Thapa and Best Cinematography for Rajeev Ravi at the 61st National Film Awards.

The film follows a young woman (Geetanjali Thapa), who takes a long road trip from the Himalayan foothills to Delhi with her infant daughter and a pet goat to find her missing husband. An army deserter, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, helps her in her quest.

The road drama stretching from a small village, Chitkul on the Indo-Tibet border to the industrial city Delhi, is set against the alarming backdrop of the socio-political conditions of India where millions of labourers go missing and are considered just a number in government records.
