Kantara & Tanvi Eye Oscars Glory
9 Jan
Summary
- Kantara and Tanvi are among 201 films eligible for the 98th Academy Awards.
- These films qualified independently, bypassing India's official Oscar entry.
- Eligibility requires theatrical runs and meeting specific Academy inclusion standards.
Two Indian films, Rishab Shetty's Kantara and Tanvi: The Great, have earned eligibility for consideration at the 98th Academy Awards. These selections join a list of 201 feature films vying for a spot in the prestigious Best Picture race. Notably, this independent pursuit of global recognition comes as India's official Oscar entry for the year is Homebound.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has confirmed the 201 films that meet the criteria for direct consideration. Eligibility for the Best Picture category extends beyond general entry requirements, mandating specific theatrical exhibition periods and the submission of a confidential Representation and Inclusion Standards form.
Furthermore, these eligible films must satisfy at least two of the four Academy inclusion standards. A crucial requirement includes completing a qualifying theatrical engagement in 10 of the top 50 U.S. markets within 45 days of their initial 2025 release. This ensures a broad initial audience and market presence.
