Jatin–Lalit
Brothers who defined 1990s Bollywood music.
Last updated
Their uncle was classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, and their father Pandit Pratap Narayan gave them their primary musical education.[1] Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma, a member of the Laxmikant–Pyarelal duo, instructed them in playing the guitar and piano.[1]
Making and release
Their first major notice came from the soundtrack of Khiladi and the song "Pehla Nasha" from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, which earned them their first Filmfare nomination for Best Music Director.[2] Jatin appeared as a mentor on Jhoom India and as judge and mentor on Sony TV's Waar Parriwar.[3] Their first work as composers was for the 1991 Hindi film Yaara Dildara.[2] Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa*, a 1994 film featuring Shahrukh Khan, had its music composed by them.[2]
A statement was made by the duo that they would separate because of personal issues after roughly 16 years of collaboration; the specific causes for this split have not been made public.[4] A concert was organized by them in Mumbai during February 2020, which featured performances from many prominent Bollywood vocalists.[5] They acted as judges for the Zee Television program Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and also for Star Voice of India.[3]
What the cited sources add
The ItwoFS website, which tracks plagiarism in Indian film music, lists 23 tunes allegedly copied by Jatin–Lalit, including "Suno Zara" from Bada Din taken from Anne Murray's "You Needed Me"[6][7] The Hindu article by Kusnur (2016) also cites "Suno Zara" as an obvious copy of Anne Murray's song.[8] BBC Asian Network online voters ranked Jatin–Lalit's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge soundtrack as the top Hindi soundtrack of all time, with Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai taking second and third.[9][10]
