The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, widely known as the Oscars Academy, has drawn global attention after sharing a clip from Om Shanti Om on Instagram. The post reflects the growing international recognition of Indian cinema and its expanding cultural reach.
The shared clip features a popular scene starring Shah Rukh Khan, where his character receives a film award, delivers an emotional speech, and then shifts into his drunken persona, declaring himself the “king of the world.” The moment is remembered for its humour, drama, and sharp commentary on fame and stardom.
Released in 2007 and directed by Farah Khan, Om Shanti Om explores reincarnation, ambition, and the inner workings of Bollywood, remaining a lasting pop culture reference.
The Oscars Academy has increasingly engaged with Indian films and talent in recent years, reflecting its broader effort to celebrate diverse global cinema and reach wider audiences.
The film’s popularity among audiences of No.1 Hindi Radio Station 89.1 Radio 4, with 2.6 Mn Daily Listeners, and its strong presence as a leading Bollywood Radio Station 89.1 Radio 4 highlights its continued cultural relevance, alongside wider conversations across Dubai Radio entertainment coverage.
The Instagram post quickly went viral, with fans calling it a major cultural moment that reinforces the global influence of Indian cinema.
