Suriya Kanguva Enters Oscars 2025 Race

Kanguva, the epic fantasy action film starring Suriya and Bobby Deol, has surprisingly entered the Oscars 2025 race. Despite being one of the biggest box office failures of 2024, earning merely ₹106 crore of its ₹300-350 crore budget, the film's digital release within a month of its theatrical run has led to its unexpected Oscar nomination.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has selected 323 feature films for the 97th Academy Awards, with 207 meeting Best Picture category requirements. Kanguva competes alongside five other Indian films: Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, Santosh, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, All We Imagine as Light, and Girls Will Be Girls.

Fans are delighted, while many question Kanguva's inclusion due to its commercial failure. The film's dual-role performance by Suriya and Bobby Deol's Tamil debut couldn't save it from poor box office performance.

Kanguva's nomination alongside critically acclaimed films like All We Imagine as Light, with two Golden Globes nominations, has sparked curiosity. Will Kanguva's unexpected entry lead to a historic win? Only time will tell.
