This year, 5 Indian films have qualified for Oscar nominations. This includes RRR, Kantara, The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. While these films are eligible for the nominations, it doesn’t guarantee or endure a nomination. It is a step towards going to the Oscars. The next process involves Oscar members to cast a vote to push the films through to the main nominations.
Talking about The Kashmir Files, it was released in March 2022 and took the box office by storm. The controversial film is based on true events. It showcases the horrifying exodus and mass killing of Kashmiri Pandits in their homeland in 1990.
