Naman Ramachandran Indian actor Kani Kusruti has nabbed IMDb‘s “Breakout Star” STARmeter Award, riding high on the heels of her critically acclaimed turns in Cannes winner “All We Imagine as Light” and Sundance-winning “Girls Will Be Girls.” The laurel, determined from IMDb’s monthly traffic of over 250 million visitors worldwide, signals Kusruti’s meteoric rise on the platform’s Popular Indian Celebrities chart – a metric that’s proven to be a reliable crystal ball for identifying talent on the verge of going supernova.

Kusruti’s profile has been white-hot following her star turn in Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagine as Light,” where she portrays Prabha, a Malayali nurse navigating life in Mumbai.

The film made waves at Cannes 2024, scooping the Grand Prix and marking a historic moment as India’s first main competition entry in three decades.

The Golden Globes also took notice, handing the film two nominatons, while IMDb users have settled on a solid 7.2/10 rating.
