    "We feel extremely joyous that 'The Revenant' has won three significant awards at the Academy Awards. The film has been appreciated all over the world and in India too audiences are loving this intense story of survival," Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, said in a statement.
     
    The film is directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who won the Best Director Academy Award in Los Angeles on Sunday night, while lead actor DiCaprio won the Actor In A Leading Role category, and Emmanuel Lubezki won the golden statuette for Best Cinematography.
