Karthik Subbaraj's Dorothy Among Top Oscar Contenders, Set for Netflix Release
Karthik Subbaraj's Tamil film Dorothy was among the top five contenders considered by the Film Federation of India for the country's official Oscar entry but was not selected due to its theatrical run falling short of the Academy's seven-day minimum requirement. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and released theatrically on September 25, 2026, is reportedly set to stream on Netflix around October 23, 2026. Dorothy explores themes of identity and relationships in a 1980s crime drama setting.
