Hansal Mehta slams FFI after ‘Laapataa Ladies’ misses Oscars shortlist
'Laapataa Ladies' was India's official entry for the Best International Feature category at the 2025 Oscars but did not make the shortlist.
Hansal Mehta, creative producer of Bose Dead/Alive, says filmmaker Q (Qaushiq Mukherjee) has rapped his heart out for the digital show’s title track, which was unveiled on Wednesday.
The fast paced number of the ALTBalaji’s show has been composed by Neel Adhikari.

“We wanted the Bose soundtrack to reflect the spirit of Bose. The track had to be subversive, a ‘cool’ anthem of protest and something that would represent the thriller that Bose’s life journey was,” Mehta said in a statement.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Q, both for his films and music. I was thrilled when he came on board with Neel Adhikari to make this track. He (Q) has rapped his heart out for this number. It is such a cool composition, so edgy and such an adrenaline rush,” he added.
The Rajkummar Rao-starrer, directed by Pulkit, will trace the journey of freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose from being an introvert to a brave nationalist.
“The song is beautifully composed and captures the beat of the show. We released it on leading music streaming platforms as it ensures wider reach,” said Manav Sethi, Chief Marketing Officer of ALTBalaji.
