Kapadia expressed her excitement about the OTT release, sharing in a press statement, “I am so happy at the love ‘All We Imagine as Light’ has received from all of you. After a successful theatrical run, I am happy that it will now be available to watch on Disney+ Hotstar. I am very excited now to share it with a wider audience.”

The film, an Indo-French co-production, features an ensemble cast including Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam.

The story revolves around two women, Prabha, a nurse dealing with personal struggles, and Anu, her young roommate searching for intimacy. Their journey to a beach town allows them to confront their desires, exploring themes of longing, connection, and self-discovery.

Kusruti, Prabha, and Hridhu Haroon, all talented actors from Kerala, bring their characters to life in this poignant narrative. Earlier this year, the film made waves at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the prestigious Grand Prix award, marking a historic achievement for Indian cinema.
