The Film Federation of India is set to reveal its official selection for the 2027 Academy Awards today. This significant announcement for the Best International Feature category will occur at 2:30 PM in Mumbai.
Last year, the social drama 'Homebound,' directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, served as India's entry for the 2026 Oscars. The film, which garnered attention at festivals like Cannes and Toronto, featured Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa.
'Homebound' depicted the aspirations of two friends from a small North Indian village seeking dignity through a police job. Despite its poignant storytelling and production by Dharma Productions, the film did not make the Oscar long list. The 99th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for March 14, 2027, in Hollywood.
