Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
Missing Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, is out of the race for the 97th Oscar Awards-2025. It was India’s official entry for the Oscars 2025, but the film failed to make it to the top 10. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlist in 10 categories for the upcoming 97th, in which ‘Missing Ladies’ could not make it. Indian fans will be disappointed with this news. Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Kindling Pictures and Jio Studios, Missing Ladies was released in theaters on March 1 this year. However, ‘Santosh’ managed to make it to the top 15. The film is directed by British-Indian director Sandhya.
The Missing Ladies are out of the Oscar race
The film’s team, including director Kiran Rao and producer Aamir Khan, has already started its campaign for the Academy Awards. The film was also screened in London recently. Last month, a new poster of the film was released with the title Lost Ladies. This highlighted a change for the international audience, as the Hindi word Lapata was translated to the English word Lost.
The Story of the Missing Ladies
The film featured Nitanshi Goyal, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Ravi Kishan and Chhaya Kadam. Set against the backdrop of rural India, Missing Ladies revolves around the story of two new brides who get swapped on a train. One of the tracks from the film ‘Sajni’ is still loved and is one of the most popular on social media. On Spotify India, it is one of the top tracks of 2024 and has been streamed over 186 million times.
Aamir Khan’s Lagaan made it to the top 5
Aamir Khan’s classic ‘Lagaan’ was the last Indian film to enter the top 5 nominations in the Best International Feature Film category (earlier called Best Foreign Film) at the Oscars 2002. Apart from Lagaan, films like ‘Mother India’ in 1957 and ‘Salaam Bombay’ in 1988 have made it to the Oscars.
