It was beyond our imagination when we started work on the music that this would become historical," he said. This won't happen to any of us associated with the film again. "It's a record that won't break easily for years to come. Pandit described the film's glorious run as "historical" – till March, when the country went into lockdown, the film was still playing at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir. Composers Jatin-Lalit and lyricist Anand Bakshi hit music gold with hits such as “Mere Khwabon Mein”, “Tujhe Dekha To” and “Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko”. The film scripted history as people woke up to the romance of Raj and Simran and so did its music. Twenty-five years later, Pandit said he remembers creating every beat like it was yesterday. With melodious tunes, rich vocals and lyrics on young love and old roots, the songs swept the nation when the film released. The album is that rare soundtrack with all its seven songs becoming chartbusters and popular even today. It was one of the seven tracks in the movie, among the most successful in Indian film history.
