However, Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light could not win a nomination at the 97th Academy Awards.
About Anuja
The story of Anuja revolves around a 9-year-old girl named Anuja, who works in a black-alley textile factory in Delhi with her elder sister Palak. When Anuja gets a chance to go to school, she faces a life-challenging choice, which greatly affects the future of her family. It features Nagesh Bhonsle, Rudolfo Rajeev Hubert and Sajda Pathan in lead roles. The film will soon be released on OTT giant Netflix.
About All We Imagine As Light
India’s acclaimed feature film All We Imagine As Light, which took home the 2024 Cannes Grand Prix, had high expectations. Given that the Payal Kapadia film was included in the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Critics Choice Awards, the odds of it receiving a nomination were considerable. However, Payal Kapadia’s film did not qualify for the Best International Feature Film category.
