Considered the heir apparent of the romantic melodious tradition started by R.D. Jatin Lalit gave their fourth hit soundtrack after Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Khiladi, and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. Pre- DDLJ, Indian cinema was considered to be at an historic low, with the second wave of evergreen classics and third wave of parallel cinema brutally eradicated by a decade-long assault of raunchy double-meaning lyrics and widespread plagiarism. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, or DDLJ as it is popularly known, marked the beginning of the fifth wave in Indian cinema and though condemned by a closed group of critics for claiming more credit than it deserves, DDLJ still secured a full score for bringing in a much needed freshness after a decade-long mediocre musical production style with raunchy, low-reaching inspirations. Jatin Lalit composed the music for this youth-oriented love story under the banner of Yash Raj films, and in the process delivered the most successful album of their career.
