Release Date July 22nd, 2025

Payal Kapadia’s acclaimed fiction-feature debut is a radiant ode to hope-giving connections forged amid big-city anonymity. Set against the hypnotic luminescence of Mumbai, All We Imagine as Light follows three very different women working at the same hospital—Prabha (Kani Kusruti), Anu (Divya Prabha), and Parvathy (Chhaya Kadam)—each contending with personal and material struggles amid a modernizing India riven by gentrification and rising Hindu nationalism. When eviction drives Parvathy back to her childhood village, the trio embark on an enchanting getaway by the sea, where they shake loose their remaining secrets and—in one otherworldly sequence—a lingering ghost. Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, All We Imagine as Light is a deep-rooted study of the fortifying power of friendship, propelled by moving performances and the director’s compassionate eye.

I really need to watch this now that it's on the Criterion Channel

I really want to support this film (my wife is Indian), but I have a feeling this may get a 4k release in the near future.

What do y’all think?

Then again, if the BD doesn’t well, it may not.

It likely won't from Criterion. The Janus Contemporaries line is only for Blu-ray and DVD (unfortunately). I think if Criterion intended a 4K release, they would have shifted it to the main Criterion line, as they're doing with Flow. BFI also just released it on Blu-ray/DVD only, so I don't expect they'll upgrade it to 4K in the future either.

The month this comes out from Janus/Criterion, it'll be on sale for just $14.99 at Barnes & Noble (which Amazon may match), which I think is a very reasonable price for the BD. I really do wish Criterion put out 4K releases for these Janus Contemporaries titles too, as so many of them have amazing visuals/cinematography.

Thanks for the info!

Yes, from what I have seen based on the trailer, the cinematography looks great in this one! Really would look great in 4k “I imagine” ; )
