These two talented brothers, Jatin and Lalit, have rocked the industry for a considerable span of years. Jatin-Lalit are the sons of the prominent classical singer, Pandit Pratap Narayan and nephews of Pandit Jasraj, grand master of Hindustani classical music. However th eduo have developed a unique sense of music different from their classical lineage. They were trained by their own father and Pandit Ramprasadji during their childhood. They also learned to play piano, guitar and various forms of percussion instruments.

They started their career with film Yaara Dildara (1992) but were much recognized by the hit film Khiladi that was a sound prototype for the brand of music the composers were to create in subsequent years.With Khiladi (1992), came their vibrant soundtrack laced with nuggets like ‘Waada raha sanam’ and ‘Dekha teri mast nigahon mein’, the talented duo announced their arrival in style. From the beginning, there has been a distinct, almost over-whelming influence of the R D Burman school on their work . For instance the song from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992) ‘Shaher ki pariyon ke peechhe’ has shades of R D Burman's music.Also ‘Ruk jaa, o dil deewane’ from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge sounds similar to ‘Bachchna aye haseenon from Hum Kisise Kam Nahin (1977).

But still they have a distintive style of composing as is evident from their later songs like the soft, piano-heavy romantic duet, ‘Pehla Nasha’, is in a class of its own. After two major time succcesses Khiladi and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar happened Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992) and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, which had numbers like ‘Loveria hua’ and ‘Deewana, dil deewana’.

They were steppping up the stairs of success consistently and yet another blockbluster Yash Chopra's love story Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge gave them immense success.And Jatin -Lalit shot to genuine stardom. From the title song to ‘Mere khwabon mein’ and ‘Naa jaane mere’, everywas a diferent flavour of youth and vibrancy.

Their next venture was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi-The Musical.Its songs were a challenge to each singer like ‘Yeh dil sun raha hai’sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy with its varying pitch, and the Hariharan's ‘Bahon ke darmiyaan’.Followed were films Yes Boss,containing songs, ‘Main koi aisa geet gaaon’ and ‘Chaand taare’.In 1998 came a series of musical hits for the duo like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (‘Deewana Main Chala’), Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai (‘O jaana, na jaana’) and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (‘Jab kisi ki taraf dil), to Ghulam and it's clarion call, ‘Aati kya Khandala’, and the final explosion, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.The songs of the later film like ‘Koi mil gaya’, ‘Ladki badi anjaani hai’ and ‘Sajanji ghar aaye’ aren't extraordinary, they haven't exactly faded from public memory.

Dil Kya Kare, Khoobsurat (1999) and Shah Rukh Khan's home production, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000),Sarfarosh(1999) containing ‘Zindagi Maut Na Ban Jaaye’ are some of the projects they have done in the recent years.Followed by al time hits like Mohabbatein , Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, and Chalte Chalte that had refreshing numbers like ' Tauba Tumhaare Yeh Ishaare', ' Chalte Chalte' .. Definitely they have created their own charm with the kind of music they compose.

Having successfully done film music, the brothers Jatin-Lalit are now turning their sights towards a private album. Between their film assignments, they are working on a pop album and Lalit will sing for that as well. They have a fine sense of melody and harmony, now if they can get hold of some soul-stirring lyrics, they will have a winner on their hands.
