Jatin Lalit

• Genre: Hindi

About

Music directors, brothers and the children of the classical singer Pandit Pratap Narayan (and nephews of the great Pandit Jasraj), Jatin Lalit were possibly the most romantic composers of the 1990s. Despite their classical background, the brothers were raised with western music and instruments, and it shows in their compositions, which generally cleave closer to pop than classical music. Their 1995 soundtrack for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge took India by storm and inaugurated a series of hit soundtracks, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kamochi - The Musical, and Ghulam.
