Payal Kapadia’s dream run with All We Imagine As Light is unstoppable. On Monday evening, the Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha and Chhaya Kadam-starrer made India proud again as it bagged two nominations at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards 2025. The drama about female friendship scored a nomination in the Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language) category, and another in the Best Director category, making Kapadia the first Indian director to achieve the feat.

When mid-day texted Kapadia minutes after the nominations were announced, the director shared her exhilaration with us. The first-time feature filmmaker told mid-day, “This is amazing news! Many people worked so hard on this film and it’s because of a collective effort that it has reached here. I’m very thankful to them. The film is back in cinemas on Friday, so I hope that more people go to see it.”
