After Oscars snub, 'Jai Bhim' makers celebrate 100-day success of Suriya-starrer

The nominations for the forthcoming 94th Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday via a live stream by the hosts- Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan. The winners of the Oscars 2022 will be announced on March 27 in Los Angeles. Among the biggest disappointment was Jai Bhim's exit from the Oscars 2022 nominations. Considered as one of the top-rated films of 2021, the Suriya-led film was India's official entry for the Best Picture category. The film even got selected for the last 276 films and it gave hopes of winning the Oscars to many fans. 

However, even though the film did not make it to Oscars, the filmmakers continue to cheer as the Tamil film has got global recognition and it was appreciated by numerous celebrities across the world. As the film continued to dominate other releases on its 100th day, the makers took to their verified Twitter handle and expressed gratitude to fans  and followers for the 'overwhelming response.'
