India selects the Marathi film “Gondhal” as its official submission for the Oscars, according to reports from Indian outlets. The announcement comes after the selection process, in which “Gondhal” is reported to have won over other contenders.
The Economic Times frames the decision as India’s pick for the Oscars, while India Today specifically describes the film’s selection as “Gondhal beats Dhurandhar, Hanuman Ansh.” Across the coverage, the central point is consistent: “Gondhal” is chosen to represent India in the Academy Awards cycle. The reports do not agree on additional details such as the exact category, release year, or the broader selection committee process, but they align on the outcome of the selection.
Both sources treat the decision as a significant milestone for the film and for Marathi cinema, while keeping the emphasis on the fact that “Gondhal” becomes India’s entry for the Oscars.
