Acclaimed actor Amruta Subhash has received a nomination in the Best Actress category at the 8th Critics’ Choice Awards 2026 for her powerful performance in the Marathi film Jarann. Known for her compelling and deeply nuanced portrayals across cinema and streaming platforms, Subhash’s nomination further highlights the growing recognition of regional storytelling on national platforms.
Speaking about the nomination, Amruta Subhash said, “A Critics’ Choice Awards nomination is always special for me. When I won for Lust Stories S2 in 2024, I said in my speech that this is one award that means a lot to me because critics from all over the country come together to recognise your craft. The critics’ pat on your back is such a precious recognition for any actor. This time, it is even more special as the nomination is for a regional Marathi film, Jarann, which has been a challenging journey for all of us who backed the film independently without any studio’s support. The audience showered us with love and made sure it performed well commercially. This role therefore means so much to me, and this nomination makes it even more special. This nomination is not just for me, but for the effort of our entire team. Critics’ Choice Awards recognises films and shows of all languages on the same platform, which makes it a nationally acclaimed award and that makes it even more special for us.”
With Jarann, Amruta Subhash delivers a performance that has resonated strongly with both audiences and critics alike. The film, made independently without the backing of a major studio, has been widely appreciated for its storytelling and performances, with audiences embracing the film and contributing to its commercial success.
