As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for cinematic brilliance, I must say that Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the global film landscape. The movie’s journey from the Toronto International Film Festival to the prestigious Academy Awards is a testament to its quality and universal appeal.
Kiran Rao recently took up directing again and produced the comedy-drama movie “Laapataa Ladies”. Despite being released a year ago, this film continues to receive warm acclaim from both fans and critics. In fact, it was chosen as India’s submission for the 97th Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category. However, Kiran felt emotional when the movie did not make it onto this year’s shortlist at the Academy Awards.
In 2023, the film “Laapataa Ladies” was exhibited at the 48th Toronto International Film Festival and went on to win the Best Film (Critics’ Choice) award at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. This success led to it being chosen as India’s entry for the 97th Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category, causing great anticipation among viewers. Regrettably, the film did not receive a nomination, leaving many, including Kiran Rao, disappointed.
Consequently, on December 18th, the official Instagram account for the film shared a lengthy message, letting followers know that the movie was not selected for this year’s Academy Awards. Quickly afterward, Kiran reposted the message on her Instagram with an emotional symbol, a red heart, and folded hand emoji.

According to a heartfelt message shared on their official social media platform, Laapataa Ladies conveyed their sorrow at missing out on the Academy Awards. Yet, they expressed deep gratitude for the remarkable backing and faith they’ve received during their entire journey.
A portion of their message stated, “We express our appreciation to the Academy members and FFI jury for reviewing our movie. It’s a privilege to be part of such an esteemed selection, sharing the stage with outstanding films from various global regions. Our deepest gratitude goes out to all the worldwide viewers who have shown affection and encouragement towards our film.
To wrap up, the team extended their congratulations to all fifteen films that made the final cut and expressed their hopes for success in future award phases. Although Laapataa Ladies didn’t make it, Shahana Goswami’s Hindi film Santosh was selected as the United Kingdom’s entry for the Documentary Short Film category at the Oscars.
