What kind of films should represent India at the Oscars?
This in-depth conversation brings together filmmakers and actors to reflect on representation, storytelling, gender, caste, and the evolving language of Indian cinema.

Rohini moderates a wide-ranging discussion that begins with the debate around Oscar submissions and moves into why Homebound was chosen as India’s official entry. Neeraj Ghaywan speaks about universality, invisibility, and why connection itself can be a form of resistance.

The conversation then turns to women-led storytelling. Anjali reflects on why Bad Girl felt special and impactful, while Sanya Malhotra shares how Mrs. shaped her confidence and deepened her connection with audiences, particularly women who saw their own lives reflected on screen.

Abhishek Bachchan offers an honest perspective on acting, insecurity, and why actors rarely think in terms of a film “deserving” their presence. He also addresses the misconception that certain films are meant only for OTT platforms, reinforcing that intimate, character-driven stories can still be profoundly theatrical.

The discussion closes with filmmaker Shazia Iqbal explaining the now-iconic scream in Dhadak 2. Unwritten and discovered on set, the scream becomes a powerful metaphor for silenced voices, gendered frustration, and the limits of language itself.

This conversation is about cinema as lived experience. About stories that resist invisibility. And about why some moments stay with us long after the screen goes dark.
