Actor-turned-director Anshuman Jha is ready to give audiences a unique musical experience with his latest upcoming film, 'Lord Curzon's Haveli.' This black comedy thriller will be released on October 6th 2025.

Lord Curzon Ki Haveli Brings Beethoven Back Alive

Anshuman Jha, who is a longtime admirer of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven, has again created two of Beethoven's most famous works—Für Elise and Symphony No. 5—for the film. He is joined by award-winning Belgian composer Simon Fransquet in this musical experiment. Both of them together have created a sound design that combines Beethoven's classical beauty with the suspense and humor of today's modern thrillers.

Talking about his directorial debut, Anshuman Jha said, "As a filmmaker, I wanted to play with different contrasts boldly. Sound-design is the soul of cinema, and sometimes less is more. Beethoven's music is precise and pure. When placed in the chaotic world of a black comedy like Lord Curzon's mansion, it creates a strange yet profound tension. In 2025, these classical tunes are not just background music, but they're the story's ironic narrators, adding resonance to the mansion's madcap world. I didn't want to borrow from Beethoven. In the contemporary, I wanted a collaboration with him across centuries, which is what happened actually."

Commenting on this musical experiment, composer Simon Fransquet said, "For me, it was not about an imitation but an echo. Beethoven's melodies are among the world's most recognizable songs. So the challenge was to keep his spirit alive in today's sound world.

"We didn't play Für Elise as you know it, a violin sometimes whispers, sometimes scratches, sometimes screams. It's as if Beethoven is still with us, just reflected in the mirror of this fractured emotional world."
