{ "title": "Mahavatar Narsimha Makes Oscar History: Indian Animated Epic Joins Elite List", "article": "In a groundbreaking achievement, Mahavatar Narsimha, the Indian animated mythological epic, has qualified for the Best Animated Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards. The film, directed by Ashwin Kumar, has made a significant impact at the box office, surpassing ₹300 crore globally. This milestone marks another achievement for the film, which has been backed by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films. According to the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, Mahavatar Narsimha is among the 35 films eligible for consideration in the Animated Feature Film category. The list includes other notable titles such as Zootopia 2, Demon Hunters, and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. To move forward in the voting process, the film must first make it to the shortlist and then the final group of five nominees. Academy members with a focus on animation will have automatic voting rights, while others outside the animation branch can opt-in, provided they meet a minimum viewing requirement. Interestingly, films submitted in the Animated Feature Film category can also qualify for other categories, including Best Picture. Additionally, animated features that have been submitted in the International Feature Film category as their country's official selection are also eligible in this category. Mahavatar Narsimha is not only a standalone success but also the first instalment in a planned cinematic universe inspired by the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. As the film prepares for the Oscars, it's clear that it has already made a lasting impact on the animation world."
