BAFTAs 2025: Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light loses Best Film Not in the English Language category to THIS film

At the 2025 BAFTA Awards, Payal Kapadia’s movie “All We Imagine As Light” garnered recognition, being nominated in the category Best Film Not in the English Language. Featuring Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam as its main stars, the film unfortunately didn’t take home the award, which went to Emilia Pérez instead.

Indeed, you’ve got it! At the 2025 BAFTAs, the honor for Best Film Not in the English Language was awarded to Emilia Pérez, the Spanish crime musical that has been dominating awards this season. What’s more, it leads all nominees with the most nods at the upcoming Academy Awards.

In the meantime, All We Imagine As Light received praise from many for its emotional storyline and beautiful visuals. This film was directed by Payal Kapadia, starring Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam in significant roles. You can stream it on JioHotstar now.

In the bustling heart of Mumbai, I find myself immersed in the story of Nurse Prabha, whose world is suddenly jolted when an unforeseen present arrives from her long-absent spouse. Meanwhile, my roommate Anu grapples with the tumultuous tides of her relationship, all while navigating the city’s relentless energy. Although it garnered widespread praise, our film fell short at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, a slight that still lingers in my heart.

Despite “All We Imagine As Light” not winning a victory, its nomination underscores the increasing acknowledgement of Indian independent cinema on an international platform. Payal Kapadia’s directorial debut has garnered extensive acclaim since its premiere at Cannes, where it received the second-best prize and garnered rave reviews.

The movie received two prestigious awards: it was named Best International Film by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the Gotham Awards. Furthermore, it claimed the top spot on Sight and Sound magazine’s yearly list of the 50 finest films.

In 2025, you can watch the BAFTA Awards live on Lionsgate Play! If you’re in India, tune in on February 17th, 2025, from 12:30 AM to 3:30 AM (Indian Standard Time).
