Fans can now watch Payal Kapadia’s Festival De Cannes Grand Prix-winning film, All We Imagine As Light, from the comfort of their own homes as it is due to be released on over-the-top (OTT) streaming services.
Disney+ Hotstar revealed on Instagram on Friday that All We Imagine As Light will be available for streaming starting on January 3. The caption of the post read, “Festival de Cannes Grand Prix Winner 2024 & with 2 Golden Globe Nominations – Payal Kapadia’s masterpiece – All We Imagine As Light will stream on #DisneyPlusHotstar on Jan 3. A Movie that you can’t miss.”
Recently, All We Imagine As Light, directed by Payal Kapadia, received two Golden Globe nominations. In addition to being nominated for Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language, the film’s director was nominated for Best Director, making her just the third Asian woman director to receive this honour.
In addition, the movie received a nomination for The Critics Choice Award’s Best Foreign Language Film category. The film, which starred Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam, Hridhu Haroon, and Azees Nedumangad in pivotal roles, delves into the entwined lives of two Malayali nurses in Mumbai and made history by being the first Indian film to compete in the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
It was later awarded the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. Many critics and fans felt that Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light should have been India’s Oscar submission for 2025. Many even criticised FFI for not selecting All We Imagine As Light instead.
