In a moment of national pride for Indian cinema, Girish Malik's film 'Band of Maharajas' has entered the Oscars race. The film is vying for two prestigious awards: Best Original Song for the heartfelt track 'Ishq Walla Daku' and Best Original Score, composed by Bickram Ghosh.
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her delight and congratulate the team. 'Thrilled to see Indian cinema shining globally! Huge congrats to @NishantPitti, @Puneet_Singh, Director @malik_girish, and Music Director @BickramGhoshofficial for 'Band of Maharajas' being in Oscar contention #BandofMaharajas #Oscars,' she wrote on X.
Ghosh, who composed the film's score, expressed his pride in the project's success, stating, 'Band of Maharajas is a labour of love. We are incredibly grateful for the support and appreciation we've received.'
'Band of Maharajas' narrates the compelling story of three young musicians from a small village near the India-Pakistan border. These determined individuals chase their musical dreams, even crossing the border into Pakistan, where music is met with resistance from radical groups. The film beautifully portrays their challenges, courage, and the unifying power of music.
Meanwhile, Ranaut recently revealed the release date of her film 'Emergency.' The movie, in which Ranaut portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, is set to release on January 17.
