Amidst the nostalgic lanes of Mumbai, veteran composer Lalit Pandit opens up in an exclusive interview with 'The FreeLance' about his very first meeting with legendary lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri. Marking Majrooh's birth anniversary, Pandit is all set to release an unreleased classic track 'Baat Nazar Ki Hai', composed years ago.
The First Encounter and Mentorship
Recalling the days when Jatin-Lalit were stepping into the film industry, Pandit shared how his sister Sulakshana Pandit suggested they approach Majrooh Sahab. Back then, Majrooh was slightly detached from the mainstream industry and initially reacted by asking why they came to him since he was no longer working. However, that meeting paved the way for iconic collaborations like 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar', 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa', and 'Khamoshi'.
Key Highlights
- Unreleased Gem Releasing: The song 'Baat Nazar Ki Hai', written by Majrooh and composed by Lalit, will finally hit music platforms on October 1st.
- A Guru-Shishya Bond: Majrooh served as a guiding light for the young composer duo, deeply influencing their musical sensibilities.
This timeless bond between the legendary lyricist and the musical duo remains a golden chapter in Hindi cinema history.
