Gondhal’s six-city preview blitz kicks off October 9 — and it’s not just a rollout, it’s a reckoning. The Marathi thriller, India’s official Oscar entry for the 99th Academy Awards, is bypassing the usual festival circuit grind to land straight in theatres across Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

Santosh Davakhar's Gondhal, India's official submission for the 99th Academy Awards, begins exclusive previews on October 9 in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru ahead of a wide multilingual release.
