In 1988, Nair’s debut feature, Salaam Bombay!, was nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It also won the Camera D'Or for best first feature and the Prix du Publique for most popular entry at the Cannes Film Festival as well as 25 other international awards. Her other films include Mississippi Masala, My Own Country, The Laughing Club of India, which was awarded The Special Jury Prize in the Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels 2000, Monsoon Wedding, which won the Golden Lion at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, Vanity Fair and The Namesake.
