The Indian film industry is robust, with its diverse range of stories and perspectives coming together to create real art. However, seldom have we gotten the deserved recognition from the West for our films, especially those directed by female visionaries.
Things are changing now with Payal Kapadia winning the Grand Prix Award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for this film. Now, her film has also been nominated for the Golden Globe Award 2025, bringing new hope to Indian directors in the industry.
