The 10-song album looks back when it has to while providing traces of the best work Vishal-Shekhar had to offer in subsequent years. However, the most memorable moments of the soundtrack don’t have much to do with Burman. Sixteen years later, the film can be regarded as one of the many Burman homages that popped up after the super-success of Bally Sagoo’s Chura Liya remix. Made as a tribute to RD Burman, the film wasn’t as popular (or great) as the superhit soundtrack that earned Vishal-Shekhar their only Filmfare Award till date: the RD Burman Award for New Music Talent, appropriately enough. They became the entity known as Vishal-Shekhar in Sujoy Ghosh’s Jhankaar Beats (2003).
The songs in Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi were credited to Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani. Their first soundtrack, for Raj Kaushal’s Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, was out in 1999. This year also marks the duo’s twentieth anniversary in Bollywood. They produced hits ( Fakira, Slow Motion, Ghungroo) at a time when Bollywood chart-toppers are either unimaginative trend chasers or Tanishk Bagchi recreations. Vishal-Shekhar have had a stellar year with three original soundtracks: Student of the Year 2, Bharat and War.
