The BBC recently published its list of top 100 films of the 21st Century, but not one Indian film made itself to the list.

As per the BBC, for determining 100 greatest films, they received 177 film critics, except Antarctica.

There were a handful critics from India, but to everyone's disappointment, not a single Indian movie got selected.

Although three Asian films made themselves in top 10- Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' stands second, Hayao Miyazaki's Oscar-winning 'Spirited Away' in the fourth place and Edward Yang's 'Yi Yi' gets eighth position.
