Criterion, in collaboration with Janus Films, presents All We Imagine as Light on Blu-ray, set for release on July 22, 2025. Directed by Payal Kapadia, the film is a celebrated piece of storytelling that earned the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. This debut feature immerses viewers in the incandescent allure of Mumbai, narrating the intertwined tales of three women navigating their realities within the confines of a bustling city hospital.
The narrative unfolds around Prabha, portrayed by Kani Kusruti, Anu, played by Divya Prabha, and Parvathy, characterized by Chhaya Kadam.

A displacement crisis leads Parvathy back to her roots in a seaside village, sparking a poignant voyage that unveils hidden truths and rekindles friendships, culminating in an ethereal encounter with a ghostly presence.
This film not only showcases skillful performances but also Kapadia’s empathetic vision towards friendship and humanity's resilience. The special Blu-ray edition is tailored for a comprehensive experience, including Meet the Filmmakers, an insightful interview with Payal Kapadia, and the film's trailer.
