Ramayana Enters the Oscar Race?

The recently released film Ramayana, starring Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, is reportedly preparing to enter the race for the Oscars. According to reports, the film’s producers have submitted it for consideration at the 99th Academy Awards. The move has generated excitement among fans, as the film has been receiving attention since its release. Rather than being officially selected as India’s entry, Ramayana is reportedly seeking consideration through an independent submission under the Academy’s eligibility rules.

Films that meet the Academy’s prescribed eligibility requirements can independently submit their names for consideration in categories other than the International Feature Film category. Meanwhile, Marathi film Gondhal has reportedly been selected as India’s official entry for the International Feature Film category at the 99th Academy Awards. Another film, Angh, which won the Platform Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, has also become eligible for consideration in the same category. Released on November 5, Ramayana is reportedly performing well at the box office, with its worldwide collections said to have reached ₹663 crore so far.
