As anticipation builds for the 98th Academy Awards, Indian cinema is making a significant impact on the global stage. Following Homebound, two more Indian films have entered the conversation for eligibility at the Oscars 2026. Read to know more.

Oscars 2026 is just months away, and Indian cinema is making its presence felt on the global stage. After Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound was shortlisted in the Top 15 for Best International Feature Film, Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 and Anupam Kher's Tanvi The Great are eligible for consideration at the Oscars too! How are Kantara: Chapter 1 and Tanvi The Great eligible for the Oscars 2026? While India's official entry to the Oscars 2026 is Ghaywan's Homebound, Indian films Kantara: Chapter 1 and Tanvi The Great have also been submitted in the Best Picture category. However, the entries are not officially sent by the Indian government, but submitted by the producers of the films. So how are they eligible? According to a report by Variety, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) released the list of qualifying titles for the 98th Oscars. To be eligible, the films must meet additional requirements beyond general entry, including a theatrical run and submission of the confidential Representation and Inclusion Standards Entry (RAISE) form. The films also need to meet at least two of the four qualification standards and complete a certified theatrical engagement in 10 of the top 50 US markets within 45 days of their initial release. Hence, after achieving the massive success and fulfilling all these conditions, both Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 and Anupam Kher's directorial Tanvi The Great joined the list of 201 feature films that are eligible for consideration at the 98th Oscars.

The Raja Saab X review: Prabhas' horror-comedy fails to impress, Netizens call it an 'absolute disaster'

<p>Kapil Sharma's comedy starrer <i>Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, </i>which was eyeing a re-release, this month has reportedly hit a roadblock. The film was initially released in cinemas on December 12 but faced a complete washout due to the release of major films, including Ranveer Singh's <i>Dhurandhar</i> and James Cameron's <i>Avatar: Fire and Ash.</i> Let's delve in to know what has led to the cancellation of the re-release of the sequel of <i>Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.</i></p><h2>Why Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 re-release has been stalled?</h2><p>According to a report by <i>Bollywood Hungama</i>, a source has stated that "Star Studio 18, the studio partner and distributor of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, had assured releasing the film in 500 screens in its second run. However, they were able to secure only around 200-250 screens, and most of the shows were at odd times. Moreover, Venus, the producers of the film's sequel, were not satisfied with such a release. As a result, a decision was taken on the evening of January 8 to not re-release the film at all."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/-feel-incredibly-lucky-sarah-jessica-parker-reflects-on-career-as-she-and-helen-mirren-are-honoured-at-golden-eve-ahead-of-golden-globes-2026-1767934278783"><strong>Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Mirren honoured ahead of Golden Globes 2026</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reportedly, the source further stated, "<i>Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2</i> originally released on December 12 and was withdrawn from cinemas as films like Dhurandhar, Avatar: Fire And Ash, etc., dominated the showcasing.

Kapil Sharma's comedy starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, which was eyeing a re-release, this month has reportedly hit a roadblock. The film was initially released in cinemas on December 12 but faced a complete washout due to the release of major films, including Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. Let's delve in to know what has led to the cancellation of the re-release of the sequel of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon. Why Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 re-release has been stalled? According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, a source has stated that "Star Studio 18, the studio partner and distributor of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, had assured releasing the film in 500 screens in its second run. However, they were able to secure only around 200-250 screens, and most of the shows were at odd times. Moreover, Venus, the producers of the film's sequel, were not satisfied with such a release. As a result, a decision was taken on the evening of January 8 to not re-release the film at all."
