Remember when Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh-starrer Gully Boy (2019) was announced as India’s official entry for Oscars 2020? Some fans were over the moon with joy and believed it was a good decision. However, others expressed their disappointment, naming other films which were far more deserving according to them. Well, this year, the internet has been left divided yet again after Kiran Rao’s directorial Laapataa Ladies (2023) was chosen as India’s official submission to the 97th Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Fans are celebrating the exciting news but some feel All We Imagine As Light would have been a more worthy pick. A post shared by HT City (@htcity) Starring Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastava and Pratibha Ranta in their Bollywood debut along with seasoned actors Chhaya Kadam and Ravi Kishan, Laapataa Ladies left audiences impressed. The amusing plot about two brides getting lost because of an unfortunate mix-up struck a chord with movie-buffs while the convincing performances by the team won hearts.
According to fans who thoroughly enjoyed Laapataa Ladies, backed by Aamir Khan, the comedy drama is the perfect Indian film for Oscars 2025. Celebrating the decision taken by the Film Federation of India, a netizen tweeted: ‘“Face hi to sab kuch hota hai..
.face dhak dena matlab pehchan dhak dena” A deserving entry to the Oscars 2025. #KiranRao the Director 🫡 A special thanks to megastar #AamirKhan to back this kind of movies 🙏#La.
