Aamir Khan Productions' Laapataa Ladies fails to make it to the Oscars

Aamir Khan Productions' Laapataa Ladies was chosen as India's official entry for the Oscars by our jury members. Like every year, Indian juries have erred yet again. AKP's Lagaan made it to the Oscars nominations in 2001, but this time they have failed to make it to the Oscars shortlist.

The shortlist for Oscars Best Film in the Foreign Language category is out, and Laapataa Ladies is not on the list, confirming that it's out of the Oscars race officially.

The Oscars 2025 shortlist for International Feature Film is as follows:

Brazil - I’m Still Here

Canada - Universal Language

Czech Republic - Waves

Denmark - The Girl with the Needle

France - Emilia Pérez

Germany - The Seed of the Sacred Fig

Iceland - Touch

Ireland - Kneecap

Italy - Vermiglio

Latvia - Flow

Norway - Armand

Palestine - From Ground Zero

Senegal - Dahomey

Thailand - How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

United Kingdom - Santosh 

Directed by Kiran Rao, Laapataa Ladies (English title - Lost Ladies) is a Hindi-language comedy-drama about two newly wedded brides who swap places during a train journey. So, it's the groom who has the "lost bride." The film stars Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastava, Pratibha Ranta, Abhay Dubey, Chhaya Kadama, and Ravi Kishan. The film was released in cinemas in March 2024 and emerged as a below-average grosser.
