Parikshit Lalwani

Parikshit Lalwani, born on August 27, 1977, is one of those low-key legends whose name you might not hear shouted from the rooftops, but his music? Oh, you’ve definitely hummed along to it without even realizing. His work is woven through some major Bollywood blockbusters—yeah, we’re talking about the kind of movies that get the whole family glued to the TV, snacks flying everywhere, emotions running wild. Now, here's the thing: a lot of folks still associate Sholay (1975) with R.D. Burman, and Main Hoon Na (2004) or Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) with big names like Anu Malik and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. But Parikshit has his fingerprints all over the Bollywood music scene, often working behind the scenes, arranging, composing, or even ghostwriting tracks that ended up as chartbusters. It's wild how the music industry sometimes keeps its unsung heroes tucked away in the credits roll, right? His style? Think classic melodies with a twist—sometimes he’ll hit you with a haunting background track, sometimes with a peppy dance number that refuses to leave your head. He’s got this knack for blending old-school vibes with new-gen beats, so whether you’re a retro lover or someone who craves that modern zing, there’s something in his music catalog for you. Basically, Parikshit Lalwani is one of those guys who keeps Bollywood’s heart beating, quietly making magic while everyone else is busy chasing the spotlight.
