My Take
Rajesh Roshan belongs to that under-celebrated tribe of film composers whose melodies do the emotional heavy lifting that the camera can't. A Filmfare-winning music director out of Mumbai, he spent decades shaping the sound of Hindi cinema while stars took the spotlight. I have a soft spot for craftsmen like this, because long after you forget the plot of a film, the tune is what stays lodged in memory. His ability to adapt across eras strikes me as the mark of a genuine professional rather than a one-trend wonder, and I respect that durability.
