Event Summary

India's official entry for the 98th Academy Awards, the film Homebound, failed to secure a nomination in the Best International Feature Film category. Despite early buzz, critical acclaim, and being shortlisted among 15 films, Homebound was absent from the final list of nominees announced on January 22. This extends India's long wait for an Oscar nomination in this category, with the last one being 'Lagaan' in 2002. The film, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Apoorva Mehta under Lyca Productions, had premiered at prestigious festivals like Cannes and Toronto. Lead actors include Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor. Producer Karan Johar and director Neeraj Ghaywan expressed mutual support following the announcement.
