Ramayana Film Enters Oscar Race with 670 Crore Collection

The film 'Ramayana' has achieved a remarkable box office collection, prompting its team to submit it for Oscar consideration. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film features Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana. Released on November 5, it grossed approximately 403.95 crore in India and around 673.90 crore globally within just six days. For the 99th Academy Awards, India's official entry for Best International Feature Film is the Marathi film 'Gondhal'. However, other films can apply directly for Oscar nominations, provided they meet specific criteria, including a minimum seven-day theatrical run in select U.S. cities. The 'Ramayana' team aims to showcase Indian mythology on a global stage and bring pride to Indian cinema at the Oscars.
