Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, was selected as India\'s official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards earlier this year. The selection sparked controversy, with many believing that Payal Kapadia\'s Cannes-winning film All We Imagine As Light was a stronger contender. The Film Federation of India, an independent body tasked by the Academy, selects India\'s official entry. Given the controversies surrounding India\'s official selections in recent years and their subsequent dismal record at the Oscars, many have called for the body to be dissolved.\r\nKiran Rao\'s Laapataa Ladies starred newcomers Sparsh Srivastava, Pratibha Ranta, and Nitanshi Goel, alongside Ravi Kishen and Chhaya Kadam. The film, about two brides being interchanged in rural \'90s India, was critically acclaimed. On the other hand, Payal Kapadia\'s All We Imagine As Light is an ode to the working class of Mumbai. The film won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and has secured nominations at both the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards.\r\nDespite the controversy surrounding India\'s official entry, there is some cause for cheer for Indian cinema. Santosh, a UK-based Hindi film by Sandhya Suri, featuring Indian actors Shahana Goswami and Sunita Rajwar, has made it to the Oscars shortlist as UK\'s official entry. This achievement highlights the growing recognition of Indian talent on the global stage.\r\nAs the Academy Awards approach, all eyes are on Laapataa Ladies and its chances of winning the coveted Oscar. While the controversy surrounding India\'s official entry continues to simmer, one thing is clear - Indian cinema is making waves globally, and the future looks bright. With talented filmmakers like Kiran Rao and Payal Kapadia leading the charge, Indian cinema is poised to make a mark on the world stage.

I do feel there's a bit of punch left in me as a cricketer, but I would like to ... showcase that in club level cricket."

Ashwin shared "I think it would be unfortunate to have me around his side (on sitting with Rohit at the PC), since he has announced I'm not going to take too much of your time, this will be my last year as an Indian cricketer at the international level. There's a bit left in me as a cricketer, but I would like to exploit it at the domestic and club-level cricket, but this would be the last day (at the international level). I have had a lot of fun, a lot of memories alongside Rohit and several of my other teammates. We've lost some of them over the last few years, we've been the last bunch of OGs I can say that are left out in the dressing room. I can mark this as my last day in the dressing room. I have several people to thank, but I would be failing in my duties if I didn't thank the BCCI and my teammates. I want to name a few of them, all the coaches who've been part of the journey, most importantly Rohit, Virat, Ajinkya, Pujara, who have taken a number of catches around the bat and have given men a number of wickets that I've managed over a number of years. Also want to thank the Australian team who've been fierce competitors over a number of years, I've enjoyed my team playing against them. It's already getting long, I wouldn't be taking any questions, truly emotional moments and I'm not in a position to answer any questions in the right manner. Once again, thanks for being the journalists you've been, for writing good things, and some nasty things at times. It's a relationship I think we'll maintain forever and I hope you give the other cricketers the same amount of love that you showered upon me. I've stopped as a cricketer, but I'll go on and be involved with the game, it's a game which has given me a lot."
