Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor to join Aishwarya Rai at Cannes Film Festival 2025

The Cannes Film Festival 2025 is set to witness a glamorous Indian presence once again, as Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor are expected to join the ever-elegant Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on the red carpet of the prestigious international event. Held annually in the scenic French Riviera, the festival this year will not only celebrate global cinema but also showcase a dynamic mix of Indian fashion, heritage, and cinematic talent.

Speaking about the debuts to watch out for this year, we have Alia Bhatt, who has been making waves on the global fashion circuit as she will grace Festival De Cannes for the first time this year. She will be attending the prestigious film festival as the ambassador of the Italian luxury brand Gucci. Known for her chic and contemporary style, Alia's Cannes debut under Gucci’s banner is expected to merge high fashion with Bollywood charm. This will mark another significant milestone in her expanding international presence.

Adding to the star quotient is Janhvi Kapoor, who will be walking the red carpet for a more cinematic reason. The actress will be attending the premiere of Homebound, along with the team of the film that includes Ishaan Khatter, who plays the male lead along with Vishal Jethwa as well as filmmaker Karan Johar, who is the producer of the film. For the unversed, a few weeks ago, Dharma Productions in collaboration with KJo had shared a post about the film’s premiere in the ‘Un Certain Regard’ Category at the 78th edition of Cannes Film Festival, sparking much excitement among fans.

Meanwhile, veteran actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a regular at Cannes and one of the most iconic faces on its red carpet, will continue her long-standing association with global beauty brand L’Oréal Paris. Her appearance is highly anticipated each year for its blend of sartorial elegance and red-carpet poise, and 2025 promises to be no different.

The Indian footprint at Cannes this year, however, goes beyond contemporary stars. Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore, who had attended the festival in 2009, will attend a special screening of Satyajit Ray’s 1970 classic Aranyer Din Ratri, which is being featured under the Cannes Classics segment. This tribute to Ray’s legacy highlights the enduring global relevance of Indian cinema’s golden era.

Also part of the Indian delegation is filmmaker Payal Kapadia, whose critically acclaimed film All We Imagine As Light continues its journey across international festivals. With a blend of timeless elegance, youthful glamour, and cinematic depth, India’s presence at Cannes 2025 promises to be as radiant as the Riviera sun.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
