Kaanchi
Subhash Ghai's 2013 romantic film 'Kaanchi' had Darbar on-board as the music composer. The film wasn't successful at the box office but the music was soulful.
Devdas
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' was a literary adaptation of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's cult novel 'Devdas'. The music required its own unique flavour of pang and futile love. Darbar successfully did that.
Kisna
One of Subhash Ghai's best, 'Kisna' was set on the backdrop of British-ruled India in 1940s and featured a love story where the two lovers are torn between 'Karma' and 'Dharma'. Ismail Darbar was the co-composer with maestro AR Rahman. For months after the film was released, we kept humming the tunes. They were that beautiful!
Rasiya Saajan
'Rasiya Saajan' was Darbsr's private album. Renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali was also associated to the album. It was a melodious soundtrack with mystic essence of love.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' featured the then-famous B-Town couple Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai. It was an easy-flowing love story and Ismail Darbar composed the most apt music.
From ‘Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan’ from ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ to ‘Hum Rahe Na Rahe’ from ‘Kisna’, we all have experienced the ‘Ismail Darbar’ magic sometime or the other. The renowned music composer celebrates his 52nd birthday today. Out of his many melodious creations, we have picked five soundtracks that we love the most. Check out…
