The duo has worked with a variety of lyricists and singers including Javed Akhtar, Anand Bakshi, Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu. During the last few years of their joint career, their music albums contained several songs composed by other musicians. This practice was not liked by Jatin-Lalit; however, the producer and director insisted on it.[citation needed] In Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham two of the tracks were composed by Sandesh Shandilya. In Chalte Chalte, Aadesh Shrivastava composed several songs. Also in Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, one song was composed by Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid-Wajid.
They were also some of the first composers to write songs performed by Bollywood film stars rather than playback singers. They specially composed "Aati Kya Khandala" in the film Ghulam for the lead actor Aamir Khan. They also composed a song for Sanjay Dutt to sing in the movie Khoobsurat.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has been rated the 6th best soundtrack ever by Planet Bollywood on their "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks". [3] Other soundtracks included in the list are Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (64), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (69), Khamoshi: The Musical (97).
Acting Career
Jatin and Lalit both appeared in the movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar during the song "Diwane Hum Pyar Ke". Jatin is the guy singing the song with the girl whereas Lalit can be seen playing the guitar(the very first shot of the song). Jatin also performed the song "Ruth Ke Hamse Kabhi" in the film.
The Separation
After working for almost 16 years together, they announced that they would be parting ways due to some personal problems.[6] Reasons for the separation are unknown, but entertainment writers have speculated that the split is because of financial matters.[
Solo Careers
Lalit and Jatin have both continued to compose separately. Lalit scored the 2007 film, Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee, Showbiz,Horn Ok Pleassss and "Dulha Mil Gaya"
Jatin composed the score for Saurav Shukla's upcoming film, "I am 24", starring Neha Dhupia and Rajat Kapoor. It is a Planman Motion Films Presentation.
He also composed for filmmaker Raja Sen's film Krishnakanter Will. "I am working on the number. I am trying to make it in such a way that it goes along with the novel written by Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay. The song will be melody based," says Jatin.[citation needed] He also recorded an album for the president of the Indian Business and Professional Council, Abbas Ali Mirza. He is also doing the Music for Kundan Shah's next. Considering the strong track record Jatin Lalit had with Kundan Shah, this film could be the next Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa for Jatin. Jatin is also working on the maiden venture of Gazebo Entertainment's "Saturday Night".
Lalit composed the song "Munni Badnaam Hui" for 2010's superhit Dabangg. The song has become hugely popular among the masses, particularly for the quirky lyrics and Malaika Arora Khan's dance moves.
Awards and Recognition
Their soundtrack of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge was judged the top Hindi soundtrack of all time by on-line voters on the BBC Asian Network. The number two and three positions also went to Jatin-Lalit for their compositions from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
