To be India's pick for the Oscars means Ghaywan's film is considered good enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best from around the world.
Not that streaming platforms are the equivalent of the Oscars, but the arrival of companies such as Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime was supposed to herald a new era in which Indian entertainment would soar unshackled.

Save as...: How women invest
There is certainly a difference. The choices women make when it comes to investments are generally considered too timid, too conservative, too risk-averse. What's interesting, though, is that the aims of women are also the aims of all cautious investors with a lot to lose. The challenges they face - interrupted careers, unsteady income arcs - are shared by millions around the world (think, gig workers, caregivers, entrepreneurs). Could a shift in how the world of finance views such lives benefit us all?
