Kiran Rao’s film Laapataa Ladies has been selected as India’s official entry for the 2025 Academy Awards. The Film Federation of India (FFI) announced this on September 23.

Released in March, Laapataa Ladies marks Rao’s second directorial project after her well-received debut, Dhobi Ghat, in 2011. The satirical comedy-drama film unfolds the tale of a young man whose bride is mistakenly swapped with another. It features actors Sparsh Shrivastava, Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Chhaya Kadam, and Ravi Kishan and is based on Biplab Goswami’s award-winning screenplay, Two Brides.
