Hansal Mehta on Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light: ‘No OTT Platform Is Buying It’

Hansal Mehta on Payal Kapadia: After finding that "no OTT platform is buying" *All We Imagine As Light*, Indian filmmaker Hansal Mehta shared a post. On Monday, Hansal Mehta responded to The New Yorker tweet which called Payal Kapadia’s film 'one of the year’s great films.'

In a tweet responding to The New Yorker tweet, Hansal said, “And from what I hear, a film that no OTT platform is buying. The harsh reality of making independent films in India. This is no country for the spectacular *All We Imagine As Light*. HOPE I’M PROVED WRONG.”

The New Yorker Tweet reads, "Payal Kapadia’s new drama, *All We Imagine As Light*, which was a major prize-winner at the Cannes Film Festival, is 'one of the year’s great movies, in any form, style, or language,' @JustinCChang writes."

Showing disagreement to Hansal's comment, a person added, "Not entirely correct, otherwise so many brilliant Malayalam movies wouldn't have the OTT platforms, some of them even having direct OTT releases, different in case of the Hindi film industry though." Hansal replied, “As I said. Hope I’m proved wrong.”

Another person added, "Unfortunate that India didn't see it in the same light as people outside of India are seeing it. Pity that it wasn't the Oscar entry!!! Good luck for the US theatrical run," tweeted another person.

The drama film *All We Imagine As Light* was awarded the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival in May, becoming the first film to win the Grand Prix. The film is all set for its theatrical run on November 22.
