Marathi film Dashavatar, directed by Subodh Khanolkar, has entered the Oscar 2026 contention list. The director confirmed the development on Monday. The film is among a limited number of titles selected from thousands of global entries. This marks a major moment for Marathi and regional Indian cinema. Zee Studios and the film’s producers called it a historic achievement. Dashavatar tells the story of a folk artist from Konkan who performs the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. The film released in theatres in September 2025. Final Oscar nominations will be announced later this month.
