Musical Career
They began their career in 1992, composing music for the Hindi movie Yaara Dildara and the famous soundtrack of the movie was " Bin Tere Sanam... ". They were first noticed for their work on the soundtrack of the movie Khiladi and for "Pehla Nasha", a romantic song from the movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. Their compositions are strongly influenced by R. D. Burman's style of music making. Towards the second half of the nineties, they were among the most sought after music directors in the Indian film industry.
The duo has worked with a variety of lyricists and singers including Javed Akhtar, Anand Bakshi, Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu. During the last few years of their joint career, their music albums contained several songs composed by other musicians. This practice was not liked by Jatin-Lalit; however, the producer and director insisted on it. In Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham two of the tracks were composed by Sandesh Shandilya. In Chalte Chalte, Aadesh Shrivastava composed several songs. Also in Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, one song was composed by Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid-Wajid.
They were also some of the first composers to write songs performed by Bollywood film stars rather than playback singers. They specially composed "Aati Kya Khandala" in the film Ghulam for the lead actor Aamir Khan. They also composed a song for Sanjay Dutt to sing in the movie Khoobsurat.

“There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
