unlabelledView post →Honestly, I have listened to this several times and it's great. It was the lead track to the Queen of Katwe official movie soundtrack, which Zohran Mamdani curated and produced as the film's co-music supervisor: www.teenvogue.com/story/queen-...
unlabelledView post →Zohran Mamdani and Disney… did you know Zohran Mamdani produced the soundtrack for 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe, starring Lupita Nyongo? The film was directed by Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, who also directed an episode of the Disney+ National Treasure series. Queen of Katwe has a 94% on RT.
unlabelledView post →Also, let's not knock the masterful talents of Mira Nair here, either. She made the incredibly powerful Salaam Bombay, the megahit Monsoon Wedding, Vanity Fair, The Namesake, Queen of Katwe.. shit, nearly every movie she's made has been nominated or awarded for something.
unlabelledView post →Finally, Queen of Katwe will get the attention it deserved. (Seriously! Perhaps the most underrated Disney film of the last 25 years.)
unlabelledView post →The real story behind the film, "Queen of Katwe," which was directed by Zohran Mamdani's mother, Mira Nair. ♟️ www.bbc.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →Lupita Nyong'o is in the video for this song, (she starred in the film “Queen of Katwe” which is def worth watching.) Teen Vogue had a good interview w/ him & his partner Abdul Bar Hussein about it, that touches on being an Asian Ugandan. www.teenvogue.com/story/queen-...
unlabelledView post →Zohran Mamdani, the bookie student from the Mira Nair film QUEEN OF KATWE?
unlabelledView post →Writing an op-ed about how Zohran Mamdani won due to Milennials' obsession with his prominent role on the Queen of Katwe movie soundtrack
unlabelledView post →Anyway, Zohran Mamdani a) is a Mets fan, and b) helped curate the music for his mother’s embarrassingly underrated film Queen of Katwe, so New York made the right choice.
unlabelledView post →Hah, of course I know all about the filmography of Zohran Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, but I had not caught on to this credit in her film QUEEN OF KATWE (about a teen chess champ from the Ugandan slums and the coach at the missionary program who teaches her).
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching MONSOON WEDDING (2001). Director: Mira Nair. Naseeruddin Shah, Lilete Dubey. Celebrating new NYC mayor tonight by revisiting one of his mother's hit movies. Note: If you want to see him, he cameo's in Nair's QUEEN OF KATWE (2016) on Disney. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 489
unlabelledView post →Another amazing fact about this video is that the dancer in the red pants is Moses Bwayo, the Oscar-winning director of the documentary 'Bobi Wine: The People's President.' I worked with Moses and Zohran on Mira Nair's film 'Queen Of Katwe.' I had an extraordinary time in Kampala with those guys.
unlabelledView post →Maybe I'll do a little Mira Nair film festival in my house this week to celebrate her son's big win. Mississippi Masala is on Criterion Channel & HBO Max. Vanity Fair is on STARZ. The Namesake is on Hulu. Queen of Katwe is on Disney+. Monsoon Wedding & Salaam Bombay! aren't streaming?!?. Boo.
unlabelledView post →Here is another banger, from his mom’s film Queen of Katwe. I don’t know why he’s not running on “Rank Mr. Cardamom #1 spice” youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY

unlabelledView post →I just found out Zohran Mamdani's mother, Mira Nair, was the director of the film "Queen of Katwe." It is a lovely film, and if you like chess, you will love it! ♟️
unlabelledView post →For those who don't know, Mamdani's mama is Queen of Katwe director among others, and a total badass.
unlabelledView post →Omg this is from the Queen of Katwe soundtrack I've seen this movie youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...
unlabelledView post →Watching Queen of Katwe w/my chess loving 8 year old. Incredible movie! Highly recommended if you haven’t seen it. movies.disney.com/queen-of-katwe
unlabelledView post →Forever mad no one supported Queen of Katwe, even though it's everything y'all say y'all want for Black children in film. youtu.be/poEdA5WvfAw?...
unlabelledView post →Oh wow there's more: 2A year later, Cardamom and HAB collaborated on “#1 Spice,” created for the soundtrack of the Disney film Queen of Katwe (Mamdani served as music supervisor). The movie was directed by Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair." www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
unlabelledView post →Which the Gregory Brothers clearly know because "The Name is Mamdani" actually reuses a couple of lines from "#1 Spice", Young Cardamom's feature on the soundtrack of his mum's film, Disney's QUEEN OF KATWE
unlabelledView post →Have you seen Mira Nair’s movie Queen of Katwe? It’s about chess champions from Ugandan slums.
unlabelledView post →We watched the chess movie “Queen of Katwe” afterwards and I forgot that a young Mayor Mamdani was in it and did a song on the soundtrack. youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...
unlabelledView post →I loved “Queen of Katwe.” www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...
unlabelledView post →I’m watching the film “Critical Thinking” about a Florida high school chess class. I love films about chess! Some others I recommend are “Brooklyn Castle,” “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” and “The Queen of Katwe.” What are your favourite chess films?♟️
unlabelledView post →Chess is fascinating. I listened to the audiobook of The Queen's Gambit earlier this year, having loved the TV show (both so good!) and the film Queen of Katwe (plus the musical, obv). And Ali Hazelwood wrote a brilliant YA novel, Check & Mate, about teenage players, which is utterly engrossing.
unlabelledView post →Agree. The song, co-written by Mamdani, was featured in a lovely 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe about a girl in Uganda who became a chess champion. The song's video features Mamdani & Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o. 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O...
unlabelledView post →Watch Mississippi Masala. Early Denzel. The film that brought Mamdani's parents together. Salaam Bombay!, Monsoon Wedding, and Queen of Katwe are also good.
unlabelledView post →Those royalties almost certainly come from the inclusion of Zohran's songs in the Disney film "Queen Of Katwe," not from streaming. The streaming rates are so bad that you would need many, many more streams to reach that pay threshold from Spotify, Apple, Tidal etc
unlabelledView post →Wow!! This makes me love him even more!! What a fascinating life he's led!!! And his mom is a total BADASS. Her film, Queen of Katwe is one of my FAVORITE films!!! And his mom directed the film adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri's novel, The Namesake, too!!!!!! WHAT A BADASS, WHOLE FAMILY IS BRILLIANT WOW
unlabelledView post →So, Disney movie ten years ago starring Lupita Nyong'o called Queen of Katwe about a Ugandan chess player and her success Look who did the first song on the soundtrack! Not a bad singer for a politician
unlabelledView post →Oh but wait - then you must not know about Mamdani’s days as Young Cardamom, when he did a song for his mom’s movie Queen of Katwe. youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY
unlabelledView post →I don't understand how Zohran Mamdani just gets cooler? He did a song for a movie called Queen of Katwe (which is in Kampala, Uganda where he was born) and he worked with Lupita Nyong'o www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O...

unlabelledView post →Zohran Mamdani was a rapper called Young Cardamon for the song "#1 Spice" which was used in the Disney movie "Queen of Katwe" #ZohranMamdani www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O...
unlabelledView post →Lupita and Zohran know each other from the time when they worked in the Queen of Katwe movie song "Number One Spice". www.tiktok.com/@kerry__jo/v...
unlabelledView post →Also, Queen of Katwe is a really wonderful film that not enough of y'all saw. youtu.be/eEsz6o50wrY?...
unlabelledView post →Zohran and one of his friends from growing up in Uganda recorded a song for the soundtrack of his mom’s Disney film Queen of Katwe and she directed the music video (which also has Lupita in it)
unlabelledView post →You can find his song here on Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/25q... He also has some music videos on YouTube, like this track which was in the movie Queen of Katwe. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O... One reason I love all this is because I grew up in East Africa and also spent time in Kampala.
unlabelledView post →Do they think Mira Nair is some kind of multi-millionaire media magnate? She hasn't had a film since the excellent Queen of Katwe in 2016.
unlabelledView post →Yesterday I showed my nephew, a 7-year-old who is pretty good at chess, the movie the Queen of Katwe, and look who shows up
unlabelledView post →Mira Nair directed Queen of Katwe, a very good, criminally underrated film. Mamdani makes a cameo in it lol
unlabelledView post →It's not just that video. Check out the one he made for his mum's movie Queen of Katwe...
unlabelledView post →Along the theme, QUEEN OF KATWE is an excellent film for promoting chess to children and introducing issues around poverty and world culture. My 6th grade class loves it. We then all learned chess and it sustained all year. * directed by mamdani's mother!
unlabelledView post →Put Queen of Katwe on your viewing list. I love that movie.
unlabelledView post →I just watched Queen of Katwe. What an inspiring story and a great Chess movie!
unlabelledView post →I am so happy to inform you of “Mr Cardamom”. His only success was getting a song in the Queen of Katwe film m.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O... m.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVs...
unlabelledView post →Also director of Queen Of Katwe (with her son being old enough to do the music :). QOK is so good, both my beloved & I could not speak for about ten minutes coming out of the film, because tears were going to pour all over the pavement.
unlabelledView post →Day 2 - a film with a king or a queen in it Queen of Katwe (2016) youtu.be/eEsz6o50wrY?...
unlabelledView post →The arts: his mother is the director Mira Nair and he was the music production designer I think for her film Queen of Katwe
unlabelledView post →I was listening to an old movie review podcast the other day and there was a stray mention of the movie Queen of Katwe, which I was largely convinced no one else had ever seen.
unlabelledView post →Y’ALL! The new mayor of NYC!!!! Straight 🔥 BOPPPP if you ask me! I took my son to see Queen of Katwe when he was little, we both loved that movie, I had no idea until 10 minutes ago that Zohran’s mom made it, or about THIS. Yes. Let’s give having a cool mayor a try. youtube.com/watch?v=DZ1O...
unlabelledView post →@potterybyosa Oh yes, I know her! She actually gave my film career a kickstart through a film training she founded in Kampala. We last worked together in 2015 when she gave me a gig to direct the BTS for her film Queen of Katwe.
unlabelledView post →TIL Zoran Mamdani composed the music for the Disney Chess movie, Queen of Katwe youtu.be/2u_6Z4W5tEs?...
unlabelledView post →@blogdiva Just so you know, my film career really took off after a film lab Mira Nair organized in my country, and we worked on a documentary together, though it was a corporate something for unicef. I also directed the bts film of her film Queen of Katwe ;-))
unlabelledView post →From Zoran's mother's Wikipedia page (Yes, she's Mira Nair, director of, among other movies, "Mississippi Masala" and "Queen of Katwe", the latter of which is set in... Uganda): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Nair
