Actor-turned-director Anshuman Jha is ready to surprise audiences with his bold directorial debut Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, a black comedy thriller that blends music, suspense, and dark humour. The film is set to release in theatres on October 10, 2025.
Beethoven classics reimagined for Anshuman Jha’s directorial debut Lord Curzon Ki Haveli starring Rasika Dugal and Arjun Mathur
A longtime admirer of Ludwig van Beethoven, Jha has reinterpreted two of the composer’s most iconic pieces, Für Elise and Symphony No. 5, for the film’s score. Created in collaboration with Margitte Award-winning Belgian composer Simon Fransquet, the music blends Beethoven’s timeless precision with the tension and unpredictability of a modern thriller.
Speaking about his debut, Anshuman Jha said, “As a filmmaker, I wanted to play with contrasts. Sound design is critical to the cinematic experience and often, less is more. Beethoven’s music is precise, almost sacred. Setting that against the chaos of a black comedy like Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, which unfolds in the West, creates a tension that is both absurd and profound. In 2025, these classical pieces aren’t just background music they’re ironic narrators, amplifying the madness inside the haveli while reminding us that human folly, like great art, is eternal. I didn’t want to borrow from Beethoven. I wanted a collaboration across centuries.”
On reworking the classics, Simon Fransquet added, “For me it’s about resonance, not imitation. Beethoven is one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music history, so the challenge was to make his DNA echo inside today’s soundscape. I wasn’t interested in a museum reproduction, but in texture, tension, distortion. The violin we recorded doesn’t play Für Elise as you know it it scratches at it, whispers it, screams it. It becomes almost ghostly, as if Beethoven is still present but filtered through today’s fractured emotional world.”
Blending dark humour, suspense, and a bold musical reinterpretation, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli aims to offer a distinctive theatrical experience. By weaving Beethoven’s works into its narrative, the film not only reimagines classical music but also explores its power in shaping modern storytelling.
