{'sanjay leela bhansali': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'academy awards': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'kunal kohli': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'adoor gopalakrishnan': [0, 0, 4, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'film': [0, 3, 7, 4], 'amol palekar': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'official entry': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The film chosen as India`s official entry for the Academy Awards, or Oscars, for the year 2006 was "Paheli". This film was directed by Amol Palekar, which is why option 2 is correct.

Option 1, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, is an acclaimed Indian film director and scriptwriter but he didn`t direct the film sent as an official entry for the 2006 Oscars. Option 3, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a famous Indian film director noted for his work in Bollywood and while his films have received international acclaim, he was not the director of India`s official entry for the 2006 Oscars. Option 4, Kunal Kohli, is another known director in the Indian film industry, however, he also didn`t direct the 2006 official entry.

Overall, the correct answer is 2, Amol Palekar, because he directed "Paheli", which was India`s official entry for the 2006 Academy Awards.
