Three songs from Dam 999 songs selected for Oscars
According to the latest Bollywood news, Sohan Roy’s Dam 999 might have known in the country for its controversy, but that has not stopped the film from entering into the Oscar race.
It is being said to media that three songs from the film, ‘Dakkanaga Dugu Dugu’, ‘Dam 999 Theme Song’ and ‘Mujhe Chhod Ke’ are among the 39 short listed songs for the prestigious Oscars.
