Yash Raj Films just launched its highly anticipated female-led spy thriller Alpha, and the soundtrack comes with a serious hidden legacy. The music directors credited simply as “Rohansh and Abeer” are actually Rohansh Pandit and Abeer Pandit. They are the sons of veteran composer Lalit Pandit, one half of the iconic Jatin-Lalit duo that defined Bollywood music for a generation.
Audiences seeing the film had no idea about the industry connection because the brothers dropped their surname in the official credits. The secret got out when actor-producer Viveck Vaswani posted a photo on Facebook. He attended a preview screening at YRF studios and posed with the debutant duo alongside their parents, Meena and Lalit Pandit.
Key Details:
- Vocal Tracks: The brothers composed the primary vocal tracks for the July 3 release, including “Massacre,” “Champagne,” and “Haaniya.”
- Score Split: While Rohansh and Abeer handled the songs, YRF brought in veteran action composers Sanchit and Ankit Balhara to produce the film’s background score.
- Early Start: Before this Bollywood debut, the duo gained early industry exposure as teenagers in 2023 by composing the Warner Bros.-produced global peace anthem “Coming Home.”
The timing of this debut feels poetic. Jatin-Lalit practically built YRF’s musical dominance in the 90s and early 2000s. They delivered unforgettable soundtracks for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein, and Fanaa before the duo eventually split. Now, the next generation is stepping up for the Spy Universe release starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
The revelation immediately triggered discussions across social media. Fans are dissecting the soundtrack for stylistic similarities to their father’s work, while others debate the reality of industry connections within Bollywood’s most lucrative film franchises.
