Two Indian films, Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara: Chapter 1' and Anupam Kher's 'Tanvi The Great', have become eligible for the Best Picture category at the 98th Academy Awards. They join 201 other feature films worldwide that met the Academy's specific eligibility criteria, including theatrical runs and inclusion standards. While Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Homebound' is India's official entry for Best International Feature Film, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' and 'Tanvi The Great' qualified independently. Anupam Kher expressed pride in 'Tanvi The Great's' inclusion, calling it a significant triumph.
