Amazing to see the legends together in one frame. Javed Akhtar's lyrics, SEL's composition, and Sonu Nigam's voice - a perfect combo. This is why 2000s Bollywood music is unbeatable. We need more such collaborations today.

As someone who discovered Bollywood later, this is fascinating. You can see the creative process behind an iconic song. It's interesting they mention Yash Johar wasn't there but was the driving force. Respect to the entire team.

The title track still makes me emotional. It's not just a song; it's an emotion for a whole generation. Seeing this photo makes me appreciate the hard work even more. True artists!

While the music is iconic, I sometimes feel we overly romanticize the past. Today's music composers are also doing great work, but the landscape has changed. We should celebrate current hits with the same passion. Just a thought.
