The Elephant Whisperers, a 41-minute Tamil documentary, bagged an Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film at the 95th Academy Awards. It competed alongside Haulout, How Do You Measure a Year?, The Martha Mitchell Effect, and Stranger at the Gate. Director Kartiki Gonsalves and producer Guneet Monga accepted the award on the Oscars stage. Set in Tamil Nadu’s Madumalai Tiger Reserve, the documentary revolves around an indigenous couple named Bomman and Belli, who are entrusted with an orphaned baby elephant named Raghu.
