Viju Shah composed the music for the 1997 thriller 'Gupt' which starred Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol. The film's soundtrack was hugely popular, especially the song 'Mere Khayalon Ki Rani'. Viju Shah was known for his techno-influenced music in the 90s, as also heard in Mohra.

Viju Shah composed the blockbuster music for 'Mohra' (1994), which included iconic songs like 'Tip Tip Barsa Paani' and 'Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast'. The soundtrack was one of the best-selling albums of the 90s. Jatin-Lalit composed DDLJ, Anu Malik did Baazigar, and Uttam Singh is known for Dil To Pagal Hai.

Uttam Singh did compose the music for Yash Chopra's romantic drama 'Dil To Pagal Hai' (1997). The soundtrack won the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director and featured hits like 'Are Re Are' and 'Bholi Si Surat'. Uttam Singh was previously an assistant to the legendary composer R.D. Burman.

Anu Malik did NOT compose the music for 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha' (2001) - it was actually composed by Uttam Singh. While Anu Malik was very active in that era and composed for many major films, Gadar's soundtrack including 'Udja Kaale Kaawan' was Uttam Singh's work. This is a common misconception.
