Ramayana Enters the Race for the 99th Academy Awards

Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana is reportedly preparing to enter the race for the 99th Academy Awards. According to reports, the film’s producers have submitted it for consideration under the Academy’s eligibility rules. Films that meet the prescribed criteria can independently seek consideration in eligible categories, without being selected as their country’s official entry.

For the International Feature Film category, Marathi film Gondhal has already been selected as India’s official entry. Meanwhile, Aangh, which won the Platform Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, has also reportedly become eligible for consideration in the category. Released on November 5, Ramayana has been performing well at the box office and has reportedly collected around ₹663 crore so far.
