    The year 2022 was a positive year for Indian cinema. Films such as RRR, Kantara, and Gangubai Kathiawadi among many others, made headlines on the global front, particularly in the West. While Chhello Show is India's official entry, over half a dozen Indian films have made it through the Academy Awards's contention list of nominations in various categories. Take a look at these films.

It has also bagged two nominations at Golden Globes, namely Best Non-English Film and Original Song for Naatu Naatu.

    'Kantara'

    Rishab Shetty's Kantara has bagged two nominations in the long list: Best Film and Best Actors. Kantara raked over Rs. 400 crore in terms of worldwide box office and is now competing with 301 films in the list. The voting for final nominations will begin on Wednesday and conclude on January 17. The final nominees will be announced on January 24.
