National award winning Hindi film Liar's Dice, directed by Geetu Mohandas, has been selected as India's entry to the Oscars, the Film Federation of India has announced.

Winner of two National awards earlier this year -- Best Actress for Geetanjali Thapa (in the picture) and Best Cinematography for Rajeev Ravi, the

film narrates the story of a young mother, who migrates to the city in search of her missing husband.

In a new record, Liar's Dice was selected from a total of 30 contenders, the largest number FFI has ever considered, which included Kangna Ranaut starrer Queen, Hansal Mehta's acclaimed Shahid and Riteish Deshmukh-produced Marathi film Yellow, among others.

Liar's Dice also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
