Kantara for Oscars: It appears that there will be two Indian films nominated for Oscars in 2023 rather than just one. It appears that Rishab Shetty’s Kantara may also be aiming for a nomination at the 95th Academy Awards given that SS Rajamouli’s RRR has already been vying for as many nominations as possible and has been campaigning for Oscars for months. Kantara’s production company, Hombale Productions, has acknowledged that they are aiming for the Oscars.
Vijay Kirgandur, the founder of Hombale Productions, stated that they have submitted the movie for the Oscars in an interview with IndiaToday.in. “We have submitted our Oscar submission for Kantara and are crossing our fingers as the official nominations are still pending, “said said. “We hope Kantara’s narrative can find a voice on a global scale as well “Added he.
One of the largest pan-Indian films of the year is the Kannada movie. Among addition to being praised in Kannada-speaking communities, the movie broke down barriers and captured the interest of viewers elsewhere. If RRR and Kantara get nominated for Oscars, it will be a proud occasion for India.
RRR received nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (SS Rajamouli), Best Foreign Language Film, Best Visual Effects, and Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards 2023 announcement (Naatu Naatu). Avatar: The Way of Water, Babylon, The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Fabelmans, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, and Women Talking will compete against RRR, a pan-Indian blockbuster, for the Best Picture award.
