Vikramaditya Motwane slams FFI for not choosing All We Imagine As Light over Laapataa Ladies for Oscars

Every year, former U.S. President Barack Obama shares his favorite movies, books, and music, a tradition that many look forward to. In 2024, an Indian film made it to the top of Obama’s favorite movies list. Payal Kapadia's All We Imagine As Light, which has also been nominated for a Golden Globe, earned the top spot on the former president’s annual list of favorite films.

Obama posted the list on his social media accounts, captioning it: "Here are a few movies I'd recommend checking out this year." The list includes 10 films, featuring a mix of international and Hollywood releases. Alongside All We Imagine As Light, the list highlights Edward Berger’s Conclave, Malcolm Washington’s The Piano Lesson, Nikolaj Arcel’s The Promised Land, and Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated Dune: Part Two.
