Reflecting on Kargil Diwas, Ehsaan Noorani Spills the Beans on Creating Lakshya’s Tunes with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, ‘Background Score was a Marathon!’

Hello Bollywood Buffs! Today’s juicy tidbit is brought to you by your favorite snoop, Khabree Kiran! If you’re a Bollywood junkie like me, then sit tight because we’re diving into the musical magic behind a cult classic – Lakshya. Let’s go!

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s Musical Magic in Lakshya: A Flashback

Alright, doston, let’s spill some chai 🫖 on how our beloved music composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy whipped up the tunes for the iconic film Lakshya, starring the ever-dashing Hrithik Roshan. You know, sometimes Bollywood surprises us with how quickly things come together. Ehsaan Noorani, with his voice dripping in pride, shared how they churned out the music in just a few days! Talk about talent, yaar!

Hrithik Roshan starrer Lakshya continues to receive love.

The Story Behind the Tunes

Now, let’s break it down. You can’t just throw songs into a film like adding masala to a dish; it’s got to blend seamlessly. Hrithik’s character, all confused and lost in life, decides to join the Army – and voila! The songs ‘Agar Main Kahoon’ and ‘Main Aisa Kyun Hoon’ fit like a glove. Then, he gets all motivated with ‘Paayega Jo Lakshya Hai Tera’ and finally, we have the jawans marching to ‘Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe’. Perfecto!

But hold on to your hats, because Ehsaan dropped another bombshell – the background score! 🥁 According to him, it took way longer than the songs. “You have to watch the film carefully to see how effective it is,” he said. The song ‘Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe’ was the most time-consuming because they needed a chorus of singers. Imagine managing that many voices – uff, what a task!

A Moment of Pride

Here’s the cherry on top – the trio’s moment of pride came when they performed at Kargil Dras on Kargil Diwas. Picture this: singing ‘Lakshya’ in front of war veterans. Goosebumps, right? Noorani described it as surreal. “Being surrounded by them and just being at that place… It was an unforgettable experience,” he reminisced.

And guess what? The entire process of creating the music took only four to five days, but the background score dragged on for a month and a half. While the film didn’t exactly set the box office on fire, Ehsaan and Farhan Akhtar (the director) recently had a chat where Ehsaan dubbed Lakshya as Farhan’s “Blade Runner” – a brilliant film that didn’t get its due initially but is now revered. Talk about a slow burn to success!
