As an ardent fan of Aamir Khan’s extraordinary talents, I can hardly contain my excitement as Laapataa Ladies, his latest masterpiece, stands as India’s official entry to the Oscars. The anticipation is palpable, and I find myself in a state of euphoria that rivals the enthusiasm of a young cricket fan on the day of a World Cup final.
With the Laapataa Ladies chosen as India’s representative at the Oscars, Aamir Khan’s movie has become a talking point. In a recent interview, the actor voiced his thoughts on the importance of winning an Oscar for an Indian film. He stated that if Laapataa Ladies were to take home the esteemed Academy Award, there would be immense excitement in India because “we haven’t won an Academy Award for an Indian film yet.
In a chat with BBC News India, Aamir Khan expressed his views on the potential of an Indian movie winning an Oscar. He admitted that he usually doesn’t get too worked up about competitions, but if Laapataa Ladies were to win, he would genuinely rejoice. Achieving an Oscar victory, as he sees it, brings a tremendous chance for a film, igniting worldwide curiosity and drawing in a vast audience eager to discover the unique charm of the movie.
Khan additionally discussed what the reaction might be if Laapataa Ladies were to win the esteemed award. He pointed out that, being a country with deep affection for cinema, India has harbored anticipation for an Academy Award for a homegrown production, a feat that remains unattained up until now.
The PK character mentioned that if they secured this victory, it would trigger an outburst of excitement throughout the nation, as citizens would erupt in jubilant celebration. He expressed his delight at the prospect of witnessing the joy this success would spread among Indian spectators.
Historically, just three Indian movies – Mother India, Salaam Bombay, and Lagaan – have been put forward for consideration in the International Feature Film category during the Oscars. Regrettably, not one of these films was able to take home the award.
In more recent times, RRR was honored with the Best Original Song accolade, while The Elephant Whisperers triumphed in the Best Documentary Short category. Furthermore, Writing with Fire and All That Breathes have been recognized with nominations in the Best Documentary Feature category.
As the Laapataa Ladies garner attention, anticipation swirls around them. On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, the Oscar 2025 shortlist is scheduled to be unveiled.
In terms of professional endeavors, Aamir Khan will appear in the film “Sitaare Zameen Par” alongside Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh, set to hit theaters in 2025. Additionally, he is involved in the production of “Lahore 1947,” a project helmed by Rajkumar Santoshi and featuring Sunny Deol as the main character.
