Awards and Recognition



Jatin-Lalit are probably the best current melody music composers carrying on the traditional class of Indian music. But are the most underrated composers. Their great works often went unrecognized by government as well as by media awards such as the Filmfare Award Before separation, in an interview, Jatin-Lalit cited their only regret as not getting any kind of award.
In spite of their successful career they have neither got any Indian National Award by the government of India nor the Bollywood’s most prestigious Filmfare Award.
They say that recognition from the audience is like a big award.
Many songs by this duo have become immortal. The soundtrack of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, composed by Jatin-Lalit, was judged the top Hindi sound track of all time by on-line voters on the BBC Asian Network. Interestingly, the number two and three positions also went to Jatin-Lalit for their compositions from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai respectively.
Their last work together, Fanaa received Filfare for the best song of the year for the song Chand Sifarish. It was received by Shaan, the singer of the song, who said that it was a fitting end to a successful partnership and he said that he wish that both of them be back together.
