Film Federation of India to Announce Oscars 2027 Entry Today
Every year, countries get to send one of their best movies to a famous film competition called the Oscars.
The Oscars are big awards given to the best movies from around the world.
India has a group called the Film Federation of India that chooses which movie will represent the country.
Today, this group will announce India's movie for the 2027 Oscars.
Last year, India sent a movie called Homebound.
That film was about two childhood friends from a small village in northern India who dream of becoming police officers.
Many people liked the movie, but it did not make it to the final list of nominees.
The 2027 Oscars ceremony will take place in Hollywood on March 14, 2027.
The announcement will happen in Mumbai at 2:30 pm.
People are excited to see which Indian movie will be chosen this time.
