The Film Federation of India's (FFI) citation for Laapataa Ladies, India's official Oscar entry, has faced backlash for describing Indian women as a "strange mix of submission and dominance." This controversial statement was part of the document submitted to the Academy. Critics on social media highlighted the all-male selection committee and expressed outrage over the language used. The film, directed by Kiran Rao, follows two rural brides whose lives are humorously intertwined. Producer Aamir Khan expressed pride in the film's selection, emphasizing its feminist themes and diverse representation.
