I wanted to do my best because it was a unique opportunity, the only chance where I could record something for Jagjitji. Suddenly, a situation arose in the film Sarfarosh where Naseeruddin Shah played a ghazal singer.
How could I do something? Most film heroes can’t sing in his voice. “He kept telling me, ' Mere liye kuch bana' . It was at Singh's insistence that Lalit and brother and co-composer Jatin composed a song for him. How Jagjit Singh’s generosity changed an orphan's life – Birth anniversary special After I finished my recording, he would ask me to wait for him.”
I used to help mix his ghazals along with Daman Sood. Pandit recalled spending time at the Western Outdoor recording studio where Singh was also present for his recordings. "Everyone thinks, how will a film composer make a ghazal? But a film composer’s profession is creating compositions.” “A ghazal is a different kind of challenge," he explained. Pandit himself was delighted to get the opportunity to compose a ghazal. But apart from the hard-hitting drama, along with the stellar performances by Khan, Naseeruddin Shah and Mukesh Rishi, what audiences remember most is the stirring ghazal written by Nida Fazli.Ĭomposer Lalit Pandit spoke to about his experience of getting together with renowned ghazal singer Jagjit Singh and lyricist Fazli for ‘Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya’. The soundtrack composed by Jatin-Lalit featured the romantic numbers ‘Is Deewane Ladke Ko’ and ‘Jo Haal Dil Ka’ and the nationalistic ‘Zindagi Maut Na Ban Jaye’.
