'Musical partnerships no longer a trend:' Jatin-Lalit |
Bollywood's last well-known duo Jatin and Lalit who have just parted ways after the phenomenal success of 'Fanaa' feel in their musical journey of 15 years as a pair they gave blockbusters like 'DDLJ,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander' and 'Khamoshi.' "Every artist has his own perspective. At some point of time he starts needing his space. It happens with everybody." Jatin told us. "Separation has its plus and minus points. Right now we are enjoying working on our own," says the music director. "People are talking about our parting ways now. In future when we will establish our separate ind entities, nobody will ask us a question about it," says his younger brother Lalit. Bollywood had a long and prosperous tradition of musical partnerships like Shankar-Jaikishan, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Kalyanji-Anandji, Anand Milind-Nadeem Shravan and Ram-Lakshman but at present we have only a few partnerships like Shankar Ehsan and Loy and Vishaal-Shekhar. A R Rahman, Anu Malik, Ismail Durbar, Vishal Bharadwaj and Adesh Shrivastav are amongst them who started independently. After separation, Lalit is working on Shahrukh Khan, Sushmita Sen starrer'Dulha Milk Gaya' and 'Show Biz' of Mukesh Bhatt. Whereas Jatin is doing Raj Kanwar and Aziz mirza movies. "Dulha mil gaya is totally different from typical Jatin-Lalit music. Sound quality and technique is different. It has one qawalli and one hip-hop song sung by Adnan Sami," says Lalit. Sons of renowned classical singer Pandit Pratap Narayan Mishra and nephews of Pandit Jasraj, Jatin Lalit started their Bollywood career in 1992 with 'Yaar Dildara.' 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' (DDLJ) bagged the 'All time Best Sound Track of Hindi Cinema' by online voters of a BBC Asia survey. Despite their strong classical background, they say they are ready to experiment and are not against the current type of music "I am not against any kind of music. It is like fashion, which keeps changing. But melody is as immortal as Bhagavad Gita," says Jatin. Lalit believes that these changes are necessary to keep an artist up to date. "In initial days people used to complain that we copy legendary R D Burman but we have proved ourselves. We tried so many things like Kashmiri music and instruments in 'Fanna' and people liked that." |
