Namaste, Bollywood lovers! Itâs your favorite gupshup queen, Khabree Kiran, back with another scoop straight from the heart of B-town madness. Grab your chai and get ready for some spicy masala because todayâs chit-chat is all about Oscars, desi style! đŹâ¨
Hold your breath, folks! The short film Anuja just bagged an Oscar nomination for Best Live Action Short Film in 2025, turning the spotlight on Indian cinema once again. This cinematic gem, supported by the ever-glam Priyanka Chopra and the powerhouse producer Guneet Monga, has made it to the elite list of five finalists. Kya baat hai!
Anujaâs Story: Picture thisâa young girl slogging away in a Delhi garment factory. Thatâs Anuja, alongside her sister Palak, facing a decision that could flip their world upside down. Itâs all about sisterhood, resilience, and those life-altering choices that young girls face globally. Heavy stuff, huh? But itâs handled with an honesty thatâs hard to ignore.
Emerging victorious from a pool of 180 films, Anuja went head-to-head with the likes of Alien, Iâm Not a Robot, The Last Ranger, and The Man Who Would Not Remain Silent. And guess what? This is Guneet Mongaâs third Oscar run after her wins with The Elephant Whisperers and Period: End of Sentence. Amma yaar, sheâs on fire!
The buzz began back in 2021 when Anuja won big at the HollyShorts Film Festival, and has been unstoppable since. Collaborating with Salaam Baalak Trust, Shine Global, and Save the Children, the film screams authenticity. Hats off to Ananya Shanbhag, Sajda Pathan, and Nagesh Bhosle for their stellar performances. Now, itâs Netflixâs turn to take this masterpiece global. Ready or not, duniya, here comes Anuja! đ
Even Mindy Kaling couldnât keep calm! She took to social media, exclaiming, âAHHHHHHHH #AnujaTheFilm is headed to the Oscars! A tale of resilience, sisterhood, and hope â being nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the Academy Awards 2025 is an immense honor.â Mindy, hum bhi excited hain! đ
Director Adam J Graves, the man with the vision, emphasized, âThese are kids after all, not statistics.â Capturing the raw magic of childhood amidst lifeâs chaos, Anuja is unique in its heartfelt narrative. This Oscar nomination is not just a feather in the cap but a loud proclamation that Indian cinema is here to rule. So, keep an eye on the 97th Oscars, because Anuja is all set to dazzle!
Kiranâs Gyan: In Bollywood, dreams are larger than life, and reality is just a script away. With a little drama, a lot of emotions, and a sprinkle of stardust, we redefine cinema. So, dear Bollywood, keep dreaming big, because the world is watching! đ
