Academy to celebrate Indian musicals

Stills from RRR and Lagaan

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has organised a programme which will explore "musical tapestries" created by acclaimed soundtracks of three celebrated films from Indian cinema - RRR (2022), Slumdog Millionaire (2008), and Lagaan (2001).

The museum, under the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said the lecture will be held on May 18 at David Geffen Theater in Los Angeles.

"Join us in celebrating Indian cinema and Academy Award history through an immersive exploration into the music mastery of [these films]. This programme delves into the musical tapestries woven by the acclaimed soundtracks of three ground-breaking films, each celebrated not just for their cinematic excellence but also for their musical innovation, and how they resonated with audiences worldwide," read a post on the Academy Museum's official website. The lecture will be followed by a live performance by dance company Bollypop and Sadubas.
