Highlighting overlooked Indian movies

The clip featured scenes from award-winning Indian movies like All We Imagine As Light, Laapataa Ladies, Tumbadd, and The Lunchbox, all of which the Oscars overlooked. Deepika's subtle but strong message highlighted the Academy's continued disregard for Indian cinema.

 A rare win and a new hope

Deepika did mention a single Oscar victory that gave her great joy - Adrien Brody's Best Actor for The Brutalist. Additionally, the current year's Oscars saw a great victory for the Indian film Anora, which captured five awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
