Happy Birthday to Composer Lalit Pandit of Jatin-Lalit Fame.
Hindi Film
Music has had not one but two golden periods till date. The first one
was undoubtedly from 1950-1975, but the second one - which is
unfortunately and very conveniently overlooked, was from 1988 to 2000,
starting from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak - restarting the phase of melody
once again in Hindi Film Music till Sarfarosh in 1999.
The top names of
that era were Anand-Milind, Nadeem-Shravan, Raam-Laxman, but the
pinnacle of this phase when melody was supreme was Jatin-Lalit - Most
versatile and grounded in their approach. My generation will always remember them for maintaining the Indianness in Indian music - totally missing in most of today's creations.Thanks to both of them, we
still have so many songs to sing and hum - all gifting the kids of my
generation a melodious musical childhood.
Lalitji - Happy Birthday to
you Sir! (Sorry...I do not know the year of his Birth - Any authentic information regarding that will be highly appreciated)
