‘To rethink the entire sound of Mission: Impossible – that was our mission'
By - R. Prashanth Vidyasagar Imagine being handed the keys to a 27-year-old action juggernaut. The engine's roaring, the controls are bubbling like a submarine alarm, and is already halfway up the side of a plane. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Your job? Redesign the whole interior, but don't touch the upholstery. That's pretty much what composers Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey signed up for on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – the finale to the blockbuster spy saga. The composers tell us that their mission wasn't just about writing fabulous action music. 'It was about rethinking the entire sound of one of Hollywood's most iconic franchises, without losing what made it click in the first place,' they say. In this exclusive chat with Bangalore Times, the duo unpacks their wild 13-month journey, one that turned geography into harmony, stress into orchestration, and proved that, yes, sometimes the only thing standing between chaos and cohesion is a perfectly timed flute. Excerpts: 'It wasn't just about mood; the geography actually shaped the sound' From day one, director Christopher McQuarrie gave them a clear rule: the music has to reflect the place. 'That became our North Star,' says Max. 'Every major location got its own musical colour: South Africa, the submarine, Mount Weather. It wasn't just about 'mood' anymore. The geography actually shaped the sound,' he says.'And it works, even if you don't consciously notice it. You feel it. If a scene cuts from a frozen military base to a chaotic hideout, the music's already led you there,' Alfie adds. 'Every beat needed a countermelody, harmony, something to make even Mission: Impossible's sound feel human' The Mission franchise has a reputation for heavy rhythm bongos, that unmistakable 5/4 groove, but Max and Alfie didn't want to just hit the drums and call it a day. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'With this one, the drums couldn't carry the weight on their own. Every beat needed something next to it, a countermelody, some harmony, something that made it feel human,' says Max. They point to the film's big aerial finale, storm, chaos and emotion as one of the toughest and most rewarding cues to crack. 'That was one of the last ones we finished,' says Alfie. 'We tried using snares in this emotional moment, which sounds crazy, but it worked. It brought this weird intimacy to the scene.' Director Christopher McQuarrie gave us a clear rule: the music has to reflect the place. It wasn't just about 'mood' anymore. The geography actually shaped the sound —Max Aruj 'Nothing about scoring Mission: Impossible felt normal' Max still remembers getting the call. 'I was shocked,' he says. 'I had this 90-minute meeting with director Christopher McQuarrie. I thought it went well, but didn't expect a callback. The second I got the news, I told my parents. Then I started figuring out how to move my whole studio setup to London.' Alfie, who's based in East London, was technically on home turf, but that didn't make things feel any less surreal. 'I was home,' he says, 'but nothing about the next year felt normal. ' The two worked out of the same building as the director, editors, and producers, an unusual setup in the world of blockbusters. 'It felt like a regular job,' Alfie laughs. 'Lunch breaks, meetings, some kind of rhythm. Until the deadline started breathing down our necks.' 'Sometimes you just trust it'll all come together in the end. That's what makes it mission possible' Outside of the film, Max wants to write a musical. 'Something live, collaborative. It's a different kind of rush.' Alfie's thinking more retro: a big band album. 'I love that Sinatra-era warmth. I'd love to go deep on that.' If they weren't doing music? Max says he wishes he could draw. 'I love visual stuff, but I'm terrible at it.' Alfie wants to run a restaurant. 'Not to cook just to walk around and offer people more parmesan. That's the dream.' Looking ahead, Max is heading into the world of video games with a new project at Polygon Pictures. Alfie shares he's finally taking a break. 'This job taught me that there's no one way to do things. Sometimes you lead with melody, sometimes chords, sometimes just noise' Alfie says. 'And sometimes,' Max adds, 'you just trust it'll all come together in the end. That's what makes it mission possible.' 'Scoring the eighth and final film was like walking a tightrope' Scoring the eighth and final film in a franchise with a theme as iconic as Mission: Impossible meant walking a tightrope, says Alfie. 'That balance reinventing without breaking was McQ's (director Christopher McQuarrie) job,' says Max. 'At first, he said, 'Give me something new.' So we went emotional. Then a few weeks later: 'Where's the Mission stuff?' So, we had to blend the two.' Alfie adds, 'That tension actually helped. We weren't just copying. We were figuring out how to evolve it.' The duo adds that this is a 'score that sneaks up on you'. 'By the time you hit the third act of The Final Reckoning, chances are you're too caught up in the action to think about the score. But that's kind of the point,' says Max. 'By the tenth watch, I wasn't analysing anymore,' says Max. 'I was just in it. That's when you know it's working. ' Scoring the eighth and final film in a franchise with a theme as iconic as Mission: Impossible meant walking a tightrope. But, that tension actually helped — Alfie Godfrey What do blockbuster composers really listen to on their days off? Their playlists aren't what you'd expect. 'Slipknot,' says Max, no hesitation. 'The layers in their percussion? It's chaos, but it's tight. That's not far off from scoring a movie.' Alfie's pick? Béla Fleck. 'His mandolin stuff is so expressive and weirdly emotional. It's just inspiring to see someone do that with strings.' Asked which band they'd join if they could, Max picks Brandi Carlile's. Alfie picks the Beatles. 'I know, predictable. But come on, it's the Beatles.' By the time you hit the third act of Final Reckoning, chances are you're too caught up in the action to think about the score. But that's kind of the point —Max Aruj How would Max and Alfie score a chase scene in the Kodagu forests? So, how would they score a chase scene in India's lush Kodagu forests? 'Right away, I'm hearing twigs snapping that's already percussion,' Max says. 'Then probably a flute for lyricism, some tablas for drive. Add strings to give it some emotional width.' Alfie shares, 'That's the fun part, you just start building a whole sonic world from textures.'

‘Working with Tom is Incredible'
Actor Hayley Atwell has surprised her fans with a behind-the-scenes revelation about her time on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The 43-year-old actor revealed on The Tonight Show that she was eight and a half months pregnant while filming an intense action sequence for the film. Despite the challenges, she insisted on performing the stunts herself. The actor, who became globally popular for her role as Peggy Carter in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, joined the MI franchise with its seventh instalment Dead Reckoning. How has your character changed from when we last saw her? Grace is a rather mischievous and fun character who makes mistakes but who can certainly hold her own with Ethan Hunt. She's still all that, but she has progressed. In the last film, she was really having to learn how to trust Ethan and to be part of a team. She now understands the cost of belonging to a group of people is the fear of losing them. So the emotional stakes for her are a lot higher in this one. She is still learning; she's still inexperienced, but she now also has this fear of something happening to the people she cares about.

Janhvi Kapoor's Balmain Red Mini Dress Leaves The Little Black Dress Behind
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Janhvi Kapoor wore a red mini dress from Balmain's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The dress featured off-shoulder, peplum design, and Swarovski embroidery accents. The outfit paid homage to African culture with mosaic accents of a human face. There are actresses, and then there is Janhvi Kapoor. From traditional ceremonies to high-profile functions, everywhere she goes, fashion follows. Recently, the Param Sundari star stepped out for an event, painting the town red with her feminine-chic sartorial avatar. Also Read: Janhvi Kapoor's YSL Moment Is The Ultimate Ladylike Finale For Cannes 2025 Janhvi Kapoor played muse to French luxury label Balmain as she leaned on a red mini dress from the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. But the structured silhouette was far from just an ordinary mini dress. The off-shoulder details dipped into a scooped neckline, offering a hint of boldness. The peplum design around the waist contributed to the dramatic spin. Those bulged projections only enhanced Janhvi's hourglass figure. The mini dress was Balmain's ode to African culture, as was clear from the mosaic accents featuring a human body's face, nose and lips. Woven with Swarovski embroidery, the unique ribbed notes covering the ensemble were simply a true work of art. Minimally elegant, the outfit was the right pick for a dinner date or a glamorous night out with friends. And Janhvi, like always, carried it off like it was a cake walk. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) Janhvi Kapoor resorted to understated jewellery that allowed the designer number to take the spotlight. She opted for a pair of golden studs and identical statement rings on both hands. She gave a necklace or bracelets a miss, walking on the less-is-more route. Janhvi Kapoor's clear skin served as the perfect canvas for her makeup to truly shine. She chose a luminous and dewy base that befitted her complexion. Cherry-tinted blush on the cheeks matched the colour of her dress, while glossy peach-hued lips added a fresh, youthful glow. Janhvi Kapoor rocked uber-cool black sunglasses, emanating a boss-ladylike aura. When she was not wearing those, her eye game had us impressed. The 28-year-old smudged kohl around the inner corners, expressing her love for smoky eyes. Wispy, mascara-coated lashes and well-groomed eyebrows rounded off her glam. On a final note, Janhvi Kapoor left her silky brown hair open as the curtain bangs framed her face wonderfully. Jnahvi Kapoor's little red Balmain dress gets a sartorial thumbs up.
