MUMBAI: The Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (Oscars) has called for the screenplay of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish to be kept as part of its permanent script collection.

Touching on the sensitive subject of mercy-killing, Guzaarish opened to rave reviews and was praised for its finer nuances, right from the script to the thought behind it, the characters and actors playing them and even to the music and cinematography.

According to Bhansali the film makes one aware about the beauty of life and what we have and how we should cherish what we have.

This year Guzaarish has won several awards like the Star Screen awards, Filmfare awards, Zee Cine awards and Stardust awards. The film, however, bombed at the box office.
