In a moment of immense pride for Indian cinema, Band of Maharajas, a musical film directed by Girish Malik, has been declared eligible for the Oscars in two prestigious categories. The film's soul-stirring song “Ishq Walla Daku” and the captivating Original Score, composed by the renowned Maestro Bickram Ghosh, are in the race for the Oscars contention for nomination in the Best Original Song and Best Original Score categories.  

This achievement is a testament to the incredible synergy between Girish Malik and Bickram Ghosh, who previously earned Oscar recognition for their acclaimed film Jal in 2014. Their latest collaboration pushes boundaries, resonating with audiences worldwide while showcasing the richness of Indian music and storytelling.  

Band of Maharajas tells the inspiring and emotional story of three young musicians from a small border village in Punjab. Determined to pursue their passion for music, they courageously cross the border into Pakistan—a country where music often faces resistance from radical elements. The film captures their journey of perseverance, courage, and the unifying power of art.  

The visionary direction by Girish Malik, combined with Bickram Ghosh’s masterful compositions, makes Band of Maharajas a cinematic and musical triumph. The film’s producers, Puneet Singh and Girish Malik, along with the team at Clapstem Entertainment, express immense pride in their work.  

“We are overjoyed that Band of Maharajas is now in the race for the contention for nomination at the Oscars. This film is not just a story; it is a heartfelt tribute to the power of music to transcend borders and bring people together,” said director Girish Malik.  

Maestro Bickram Ghosh added, “Band of Maharajas is a labour of love, and we are grateful for the support and appreciation it has received so far.”  

As the only Hindi film in contention for the Oscars this year, Band of Maharajas carries the torch for Indian cinema on a global stage. The film's poignant narrative and musical brilliance are bound to captivate audiences worldwide as it continues its journey toward potential Oscar glory.  

Celebrate this milestone and join the extraordinary journey of Band of Maharajas. Stay tuned as the film moves closer to the Oscars, representing not just a film but the voice of a nation.
