'Ramayana' enters the race for the 2027 Oscars—will Ranbir's film make a splash at the Academy Awards?

Ranbir Kapoor’s film *Ramayana* has become a major topic of discussion worldwide. The film’s VFX, editing, and direction are receiving high praise. Amidst this acclaim, the film is now set to make a splash at the 99th Academy Awards (Oscars).

There is talk that the makers of *Ramayana* have submitted the film for the Oscars. It could potentially represent India on the international stage, alongside the Marathi film *Gondhal*.

*Ramayana* Submitted to the Oscars
Produced by Namit Malhotra, *Ramayana* is the result of significant effort and investment by the makers, who aimed to create a project of global scale. The two parts of *Ramayana* were produced on a budget of ₹4,000 crore. Through this film, the makers have brought Indian culture and mythology to a global audience. According to NDTV, the makers of *Ramayana* have submitted their film for the 99th Academy Awards.

Joining the Oscar Race Alongside *Gondhal*
News of *Ramayana* being submitted to the Oscars comes at a time when the Marathi film *Gondhal* has already been selected as India’s official entry for the International Feature Film category. It is worth noting that an "official entry" is not a prerequisite for a film to be submitted to the Oscars; any film can be submitted for consideration.

Eight-Time Oscar Winner
*Ramayana* is produced by Namit Malhotra, the CEO of the renowned visual effects and animation studio DNEG. DNEG was also responsible for the film’s VFX. Notably, DNEG has already won eight Academy Awards to date. Now it remains to be seen whether *Ramayanam* will be able to win an Oscar or not.
