Ramayana Enters Oscars Race
Ramayana: Part 1 has entered the race for the 99th Academy Awards, with its makers submitting the film for consideration, according to a report in NDTV. The development comes even as the Marathi film Gondhal has been selected as India’s official entry in the International Feature Film category.
The two developments are not mutually exclusive. India’s official Oscar entry does not prevent other Indian films from independently seeking consideration in different categories, provided they meet the Academy’s eligibility requirements.
