Fact Check: Did This Indian Short Film Win An Oscar Recently? Here’s The Truth

Date:

A video showing a short film Sorry, which wins an Oscar, is extensively circulated on social media. Many users claim that it is a 30-minute film and portrays the togetherness of a family and how we as humans should live together in unity.

A Facebook user posted the viral post with a caption: *SORRY नाम की यह फिल्म – सिर्फ 4 मिनट 17 सेकंड की फिल्म है और इसे 30 मिनट में बनाया गया था।*
*लेकिन इसे ऑस्कर अवार्ड मिला*
*इसे देखने के लिए समय निकालें। परिवार की एकता तब तक बनी रहती है जब तक हम साथ रहते हैं इसलिए परिवार हो या समाज हो हम सबको मिलकर रहना चाहिए*

(English translation: *This film SORRY is only 4 minutes 17 seconds long, and it was made in 30 minutes.* *but it won an Oscar* *Take the time to watch it. The unity of the family remains as long as we live together, so whether it is family or society, we all should live together.)

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.

Running a Google Keyword Search, the NM team identified a YouTube video comprising 10 short stories uploaded on a channel Zian Life, which is spotted on the viral clip.

 

The second story in the video also matches with the viral clip. We came to know that the movie’s name is The Complete Life, directed by Saunak Mitra.

Searching for if there is any Oscar award for this film, our team found the official website of the Awards database of the Academy Awards. But our searched for Sorry or Saunak Mitra in the database yielded no results. 

So far, the Indian Documentary The Elephant Whisperer, which won the academy award for Best Documentary Short in 2023, is the first ever documentary film to have won the prestigious award. 

Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral video, claiming a short film from India recently won Oscar, is false.
