India's official entry 'Laapataa Ladies' out of Oscars 2025 race

The Hindu  

‘Laapataa Ladies’, India’s official entry in the Best International Feature category at the 97th Academy Awards, is out of the Oscars race. In September, the Film Federation of India unanimously chose "Laapataa Ladies" as India's official entry to the Oscars from a list of 29 films, including Bollywood hit "Animal", Malayalam National Award winner "Aattam" and Cannes winner "All We Imagine As Light". The makers also unveiled a new poster of the film last month with its English title "Lost Ladies" as the movie begins its campaign for the upcoming awards ceremony. "Lagaan", set in the pre-independence era, was the last Indian film to enter the top five nominations in the best international feature film category at Oscars 2002. Last year, "Naatu Naatu", the peppy, foot-tapping chartbuster from SS Rajamouli's Telugu period action film "RRR", won the Academy Award in the best original song category along with "The Elephant Whisperers", directed by Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga's Sikhya Entertainment, winning the Oscar in the Best Documentary Short Film category.
