Jatin: I don't want to talk about it as it will hurt my brother. Lalit: There are many favourites: Pehla nasha, Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam, Koi mil gaya from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Aaj main upar from Khamoshi and Chand sifarish from Fanaa. Jatin: My favourite composition is Pehla nasha from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge as well as the title track of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Which are you favourite compositions till date? But now that we are parting ways they might release the album. So we are not sure if the album will see the light of day. The people at Universal with whom we were working have changed. They are melodious, slow and romantic songs that both of us have sung.īut the release got delayed. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the lyrics, and it had six tracks.

Lalit: We were about to release an album with Universal. Why didn't you ever think of recording an album of your own, considering that both of you sing? But the music sales of Fanaa have equalled Veer-Zaara's and crossed Bunty Aur Babli 's. They are not even publicising the movie in a big way. Songs don't become popular only if you listen to them day and night on all the channels. These songs have potential, they will be hits. Yash Raj Productions have not been publicising the soundtrack. It grows on you, and then it will not leave you. People have been calling me up to say how great the music is. But here they are actually not singing, they are only reciting poetry.įanaa's music is not exactly scorching the charts. Lalit: This is not the first time that Aamir has sung for us - he sang Aati kya Khandala in Ghulam and he was also nominated for best singer for that song. Actually they are not singing, they are just saying dialogues throughout the song.

Jatin: The director wanted that they sing this song. Lalit : All the songs are good but my favourites are Dekho na and Chand sifarish. We have used the santoor and the rubab, which are Kashmiri instruments. We have used Kashmiri music too, in keeping with the storyline. But that doesn't mean it is not modern in its approach. This is not dance-oriented music but soothing to the ears. Jatin: We have used instruments like the oud, the sitar, the sarod, and Indian percussions. Patcy N catches up with the music composer duo of Jatin-Lalit to talk about Fanaa, and their painful parting of ways. The films they have composed music for reads like a Best of Bollywood compilation: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham, Khamoshi�Īnd now, Fanaa - starring Aamir Khan and Kajol � will be their swansong. For 16 years, Jatin-Lalit composed music that wowed millions. It was their second movie, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, which catapulted them to Bollywood success.
