Mishra sets music score for 'Hasina: A Daughter's Tale'

The film is scheduled to be released worldwide on November after an extensive 5-year-long collaboration, between the Centre for Research and Information (CRI) and Applebox Films Debojyoti Mishra, an internationally acclaimed Indian music composer and film director, has composed the musical score for "Hasina: A Daughter's Tale," a docudrama based on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's life, confirmed the film's director Rezaur Rahman Khan Piplu.

 "Working in commercial making for quite a while, I had the pleasure of working with Debojyoti on numerous music track projects s in Mumbai, India, during their post-productions." Piplu said?

"Also I wanted a music director for the docudrama as I was looking for a Bangali musician who knew Bangla, was from this region, and could understand the gravity of the project. Debojyoti is an internationally reputed Bangali composer and music director whose music orientation is very rich. As I have a bit of music knowledge myself and have worked with him on a lot of projects, he checked all the boxes in my list. 

Also, he grew up in West Bengal, grew up in this region, and worked with numerous Bangladeshis, knew this climate, culture, and history very well. But I was not sure if he would be interested in a docudrama project, but music was an essential part of my project. 

To my surprise, he took the job very seriously and gave his everything to the project. And professionally speaking, with his knowledge and experience in this field, I thought we would do justice to this project," he added.

He also said they gave him complete creative freedom on the project and gave him a brief about how they wanted a dark and gothic tone to the film's music, like a Shakespearean tragedy like 'Macbeth.' Mishra took the reference and built the score from scratch, keeping the historical context and the hardship throughout the personal and political career of Sheikh Hasina.
