Anuja Shines as Oscars 2025 Contender with Guneet Monga and Priyanka Chopra’s Backing | Bollywood Buzz

Hey Bollywood buffs, Khabree Kiran here, and am I dropping some masala or what! The Oscars 2025 nominations are out, and guess what? There’s a desi tadka in the mix!

Anuja: Not Just a Name, But a Nomination!

So, what’s the buzz? Our very own filmi kahani, Anuja, has snagged a spot at the prestigious Oscars in the Best Live Action Short Film category. Thanks to the power-packed backing of Guneet Monga and Priyanka Chopra, this little gem is shining bright! 🔥

Now, don’t just sit there with your chai, Anuja is all set to make waves on Netflix too. Priyanka Chopra, with her usual flair, couldn’t hold back her excitement—kya karein, excitement toh banta hai, boss!

The Oscar Race:

The announcement of the 97th Academy Awards nominations came with a bang, thanks to Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott. Out of a whopping 180 films, only five made the cut. Besides Anuja, the others vying for the trophy are Alien, I’m Not a Robot, The Last Ranger, and A Man Who Would Not Remain Silent.

Shoutout to Guneet Monga—this is her third Oscar nomination! Remember her previous hits, The Elephant Whisperers and Period: End of Sentence? Those brought some serious Oscar glory home. Conan O’Brien is stepping up as the host this time, spreading his comic charm at the Dolby Theatre in LA on March 2.

The Heart of Anuja:

Anuja spins a tale around a nine-year-old girl hustling in a back-alley garment factory alongside her elder sister, Palak. The film dives deep into the choices she makes that could alter her and her family’s fate. Director Adam J Graves calls it "a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and untold stories of working children". 🎬

With a powerhouse team including Priyanka Chopra, Mindy Kaling, and Guneet Monga, this film promises to be a tear-jerker. Produced by Adam’s wife, Suchitra Mattai, and in collaboration with the Salaam Baalak Trust and Shine Global, the film stars Ananya Shanbhag, Sajda Pathan, and Nagesh Bhosle. The release date on Netflix? Well, abhi toh suspense hai!

Kiran’s Gyan:

Yeh hai Bollywood, meri jaan! Where every chaiwala can dream of walking the red carpet. Remember, in Bollywood, it’s all about the drama, and sometimes, the underdog steals the show! 😎

So, get ready to root for Anuja and let’s hope this Indian tale brings home the Oscar! Until next time, stay filmy! 🌟
