 Set in vibrant 1950s India, A Suitable Boy is an epic tale of life and love based on the classic novel of the same name by Vikram Seth. The six-part series is directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) and is adapted for the screen by Andrew Davies (War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice). The score is composed by Alex Heffes and Anoushka Shankar. Previously paired on Mira Nair’s 2016 Disney Film Queen Of Katwe, Alex knew how important the music score was to the director. 

Speaking of his work with Mira, Alex explains: “Music flows throughout Vikram Seth’s book so we discussed very early on how to tie the original score into the authentic musical world of India captured onscreen. We also discussed how to create a musical language for the score that weaves between Classical Indian music and film music. Careful consideration was given to how to integrate orchestra into the Indian musical world, often having to learn to follow the phrasing and bending of the sitar.” Golden-Globe-nominated composer Alex Heffes has over 60 film and TV scores to his name.
