Indians at the Academy Awards: From Satyajit Ray to Deepika Padukone

Kartiki Gonsalves’ documentary debut, “The Elephant Whisperers,” shines a spotlight on the ways in which climate change and human encroachment are rapidly destroying the habitats of Asian elephants.

The Ministry of Indian Railways released a poster of Nitanshi as Phool on Twitter, referencing the film's popular romance track with the message "O sajni re..." Bahut bahut badhai (best wishes)! Indian Railways is happy to be a part of such a pleasant film. The poster also said, "Connecting hearts forever." Congratulations, Team Laapataa Ladies.

The Film Federation of India announced on Monday that this poignant drama would be India's official entry at the future Academy Awards, often known as Oscars 2025.
