As a fervent admirer of the cinematic world, I find myself utterly ecstatic and profoundly moved by the extraordinary accomplishment of Laapataa Ladies at the Oscars 2025. The selection of this masterpiece by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao has not only left me in a state of disbelief but also filled me with an indescribable sense of pride.


As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that the internet is abuzz with excitement over Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies gracing the Oscars 2025! In the same vein, Pratibha Ranta, who had the privilege of sharing the screen with Nitanshi Goel and Sparsh Shrivastava in this outstanding film, couldn’t help but express her joy over this remarkable milestone achievement.

Speaking solely with TopMob, I, an overjoyed fan, had the pleasure of hearing Pratibha Ranta’s reaction to the selection of Laapataa Ladies in the Best Foreign Film Category at the 97th Academy Awards. She expressed, “It feels unreal that a film as profoundly meaningful as Laapataa Ladies will be representing India at the Oscars. As actors, we yearn for the chance to be part of something that resonates deeply, and to be associated with a film garnering international acclaim surpasses anything I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams.

This film’s impact is heightened because it highlights the power of women, in the context of rural India, but its themes resonate beyond boundaries. I’m eager for this to pave the way for more stories from our nation to be shared and applauded globally,” she continued.

The 13-person panel all agreed on choosing Kiran Rao’s direction as India’s representative in the Best Foreign Film Category at the esteemed event.

The movie surpassed 29 other films from a list that included titles like “Animal” starring Ranbir Kapoor, the Malayalam National Award winner “Aattam”, the Cannes-winning film “All We Imagine As Light”, the Tamil movies “Maharaja”, “Kalki 2898 AD”, and “Hanu-Man”, as well as “Swatantraya Veer Savarkar” starring Randeep Hooda, and “Article 370” featuring Yami Gautam.

As a devoted follower, I can’t help but share my heartfelt joy as Kiran Rao announced that our film, Laapataa Ladies, has been selected as India’s official entry for the Academy Awards. To be chosen is more than an honor; it’s a profound delight. This esteemed recognition underscores the relentless efforts and unwavering passion of my entire team, whose dedication breathed life into this inspiring story.

This comedy movie revolves around the hilarious mishaps experienced by two newlywed brides who unexpectedly get separated on a train ride. Filled with humorous instances of mistaken identities and side-splitting adventures, it’s an entertaining tale that you won’t want to miss!
