A 13-member selection committee selected the ‘Missing Ladies’
Let us tell you that Ravi Kishan, Chhaya Kadam, Sparsh Srivastava, Nitanshi Goyal and Pratibha Ranta have played important roles in this film of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. The film was selected for Oscar 2025 by a 13-member selection committee headed by Jahnu Barua (Assam director). But people are not happy with its selection process. People have also trolled the Film Federation of India.
This is how netizens reacted
Absurd decision not to choose All We Imagine As Light – a film that won the Cannes Grand Prix, received international recognition and already widely praised, as our official selection. Much as I loved Laapata Ladies… https://t.co/5xiQo1Kgex

One user commented, “This is really sad. A film that could have definitely got an Oscar nomination loses and #LaapataaLadies is chosen. Hope other countries take this film #allweimagineaslight to the Oscars.”
One user said it was stupid
One user termed the decision of the 13-member selection committee as stupid and wrote, ‘Indian Oscar Jury continues its stupidity and selects Missing Ladies for Oscar instead of Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light… what nonsense.’
Loved #LaapataLadies nd feel it’s a great film. But by snubbing #AllWeImagineAsLightfeel FFI missed another chance at Oscars again this time. OTOH, It’s been shortlisted by France amongst top 4 for Oscars submission. And has already won prestigious Grand Prix award at Cannes.😔 https://t.co/xf3i3VJhoe pic.twitter.com/dmSVKGPJhK
