Oscars 2025: Anuja, the poignant documentary directed by Adam J. Graves, was nominated for an Academy Award this year since it not only won over viewers but also the Oscars 2025 jury. Since this is the only Indian film this year, people are really optimistic. Since learning that the film has received a nomination, people have been eagerly awaiting to know if the movie makes the cut. However, will Anuja win the Oscar in the end? Here are the possibilities explained and explored.?
The fact that Anuja is up against some really excellent documentaries is one of the primary reasons it's a little difficult to win. A Lien, I'm Not a Robot, The Last Ranger, and The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent are among the titles on the list. Winning among this group won't be simple because each of the other nominees has a compelling plot and a lot of fan support.?
The fact that the film is heartfelt and direct gives Anuja a distinct advantage. The story, which is set in India, centers on two sisters who should ideally lead life to the fullest and prioritise their studies, but because they are orphans, they must continue to struggle to support themselves. And anyway, we don't live in an ideal world, do we?
The Salaam Baalak Trust, an Indian non-profit and non-governmental organization that supports working and homeless children in the Delhi-NCR, was one of the community partners that helped develop and shoot the movie alongside Graves Films and Krushan Naik Films. The non-profit production business Shine Global joined the crew to assist with the film's social impact campaign.
Executive producer Guneet Monga joined the production team in October 2024. Priyanka Chopra Jonas became an executive producer of the movie in January 2025. The film has also received support from Mindy Kaling and others.?
When the movie was released on Netflix it was met with the most amazing response. People from around the world only had a rush of emotions while watching the movie. Ask me about it? Well, Anuja is a heartfelt and short film that makes you feel the emotions that sometimes a 3 hour long film fails to do. The topic it covers and the way it tells the story is sure worth an Oscar.
But will it win the Oscar? Time will tell.?
