Indian Oscar submissions

India submits one film annually to the Academy Awards for consideration in the Best International Feature Film category. This selection process involves choosing a film that showcases the country's cinematic talent and cultural narratives. The submitted film is then reviewed by the Academy to determine if it meets eligibility criteria and if it qualifies for a nomination. While India has submitted films since 1957, success in securing a nomination or win remains rare. The process highlights India's rich film industry and its efforts to gain global recognition through the prestigious Oscars.
