Mumbai: Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies did not make it to the shortlist of the Best International Feature category of Oscars 2025. The makers of the film have expressed their gratitude to the Academy members and FFI jury for selecting the film as India's official entry to Oscars 2025, the Hindustan Times reported.

Grammy-winning artist Ricky Kej wrote a post on X, “The Oscars shortlist is out. Laapataa Ladies is a well-made and entertaining movie (I enjoyed it), but it was absolutely the wrong choice to represent India in the Best International Feature Film category. As expected, it didn’t make the cut.”
