Lisa Mishra To Make Debut Performance At Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025
Singer and actress Lisa Mishra will make her debut on the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) stage this year, joining an impressive lineup of talent at one of the most prominent celebrations of Indian cinema and culture held outside India. The 2025 edition of the festival will run from August 14 to 24 in Melbourne, Australia.
Known for her soulful voice and contemporary musical style, Mishra will perform at IFFM for the first time. The festival, widely recognised as the largest Indian film event outside the country, brings together not only cinema but also live music, art, and cultural showcases for a global audience.
Sharing her enthusiasm, Mishra said, 'I'm truly honoured to be performing at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne this year. It's my first time on the IFFM stage, and I can't wait to share my music with such a vibrant and diverse audience. IFFM isn't just a film festival, it's a celebration of Indian art and culture on a global platform."
Lisa added, 'To be a part of that energy, especially in a city like Melbourne that embraces creativity with open arms, is something I'm genuinely looking forward to. This opportunity is very special to me."
Lisa Mishra is an American singer, songwriter, and actor, widely recognised for her reprise version of Tareefan in the 2018 Bollywood film Veere Di Wedding. Mishra has built a strong following through both her playback singing and independent music projects. Following the song's success, she lent her voice to tracks such as The Wakhra Song from Judgementall Hai Kya (2019), Nadaaniyaan from The Sky Is Pink, and the hit party number Chandigarh Mein from Good Newwz.
In 2024, Mishra made her acting debut in the series Call Me Bae, produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
In 2017, Lisa Mishra collaborated with Jamila Woods to create the theme song for the Emmy-nominated web series Brown Girls. On 19 May 2018, she shared a mashup of the Hindi song Tareefan and Let Me Love You on her Instagram, which caught the attention of actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. This led to Mishra being invited to India, where she recorded and shot the reprise version of Tareefan for Veere Di Wedding, alongside the film's cast.
In 2019, Mishra signed with VYRL Originals, part of Universal Music India, for her non-film music projects. That same year, she teamed up with composer-singer Vishal Mishra to release the single Sajna Ve. She also collaborated with Goa-based producer and DJ Anish Sood on the uptempo dance/house track Running Back To You, released in February 2020.
Mishra's debut album, Sorry, I'm Late, released in May 2024.

Abhishek Bachchan Has THIS Wish As Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan's Sholay Marks 50 Years
Sholay revolved around two ex-convicts, Jai and Veeru, who are hired by Thakur Baldev Singh, a retired policeman, to help nab a notorious dacoit named Gabbar Singh. As 'Sholay', the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema, celebrates its Golden Jubilee, Abhishek Bachchan shared with IANS that he wishes to watch the iconic film on a 70 mm screen at the iconic Minerva theatre. The film features his father Amitabh Bachchan and mother Jaya Bachchan in the lead. When asked during an interview, 'Sholay will soon be completing 50 years. Have there been any conversations at the family dining table about the film? If so, which story or memory from Sholay tends to come up most often?" Abhishek replied 'Not really spoken about it but have discussed it with friends. My biggest tragedy is that I have never seen Sholay on 70 mm." He continued, 'I keep telling my friend Rohan (Rohan Sippy)—we've done three films together, and our fathers made 'Sholay' together—Please remaster it and we will go and watch it in Minerva. I really hope they re-release it so that we can experience it again in all its glory." Adding to it, he informed, 'Sholay was the first film to release an audio cassette featuring just its dialogues. The lines became so iconic that they put out a separate audio release for them." 'Sholay', the most iconic film of Hindi cinema, was released on August 15, 1975. Although it initially received a lukewarm response at the box office, it gradually gained momentum through word of mouth. The film is considered as one of the greatest movies in Hindi cinema for its grandeur, performances, technical brilliance, action, music and direction. It was top of the British Film Institute's 2002 poll of 'Top 10 Indian Films" of all time. The film was written by the legendary screenwriting duo Salim-Javed, and went on to become one of longest running films of Indian cinema. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
