Early life
Pritam was born in Kolkata into a Bengali family. Pritam is the son of Prabodh Chakraborty, who runs a music school for children. Pritam gained his early training in music from his father and learned to play the guitar while still in school.
After completing his schooling at St. James' School and college education at Presidency College, he went to a music school. At Presidency he was the Social Services Secretary of the Students Union run by the Independents' Consolidation (IC). Pritam joined a Bangla band, Chandrabindoo. Before that he formed another band with his Presidency batchmates, called "Jotugriher Pakhi". They even have a cassette released to their credit at that time. In January 1993, Pritam joined the Film and Television Institute in Pune to undertake a course in sound recording and sound engineering. During this time, he was offered a chance to compose background music for a film by Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Gaal. He also learned African music from musicologist Kedar Avati.
Career
Having completed his education, Pritam Chakraborty moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood. During his stay in Mumbai, he began composing ad jingles, and became friendly with a number of other young men struggling to make it big, like Shantanu Moitra, Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Gadhvi and Chandrajeet Ganguly, also known as Jeet, who played the guitar with Anup Jalota.
Pritam got his first break when Gadhvi was signed on to direct Tere Liye and he, in turn, signed on his friends Jeet and Pritam as music composers. Though the music was well received, the film sank at the box office. However, in 2002 Yashraj Films signed Gadhvi up to direct Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, for which the Jeet-Pritam duo once again composed the music. All the songs from that movie were chartbusters, and the duo had hit the big time.His music comprises various kinds including Indian classical music and western influences. Pritam was then actively involved in mentoring and judging new talent on Zee TV's singing competition show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009.

Also he composed the music for Dhoom 2, the sequel to [Dhoom] & Life in a Metro. Most recently he composed the music for Singh Is Kinng, Kismat Konnection and formed a Band named Metro.

Ajj toh hum too much karenge, bach le ve yaara (ho ohoo)
Nach karenge, touch karenge, bach le ve yaara
Ajj toh hum too much karenge, bach le ve yaara
Ajj discowale khisko
Ajj discowale khisko, bhai desi beat bajaani
Ajj discowale khisko, bhai desi beat bajaani

Jhoome phasle mauj bahara
Lutke jaanat tujhpe vaara
Chak de phatte

Bhangra pane aaye, angrez nirale
Jean valaitee paa li, pairon mein taale
Aree git-pit git-pit English, yeh jhoothi shaanein
Disco ke deewane, giddhe kya jaanein

The lyrics of Pritam's song "Discowale Khisko" celebrate the joyous, carefree spirit of dancing to desi beats in a discotheque. The catchy chorus of "Nach karenge, touch karenge, bach le ve yaara" encourages people to let loose and dance without any inhibitions. The repetitive use of the phrase "Ajj discowale khisko, bhai desi beat bajaani" serves as a reminder that in the present moment, nothing else matters but the pulsating rhythm and the exuberance of movement.
The lyrics also make a humorous commentary on the cultural fusion that takes place in discos, with people from diverse backgrounds coming together to dance to the same beat. The lines "Bhangra pane aaye, angrez nirale / Jean valaitee paa li, pairon mein taale" depict the contrast between traditional Punjabi dancing and modern Western fashion, with the image of jeans and heels paired with bhangra steps. The juxtaposition of English and Hindi lyrics further adds to the playful nature of the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "Discowale Khisko" celebrate the universality of dance as a means of joy and self-expression, and advocate for a carefree attitude towards life.

Shahid Kapoor is an awesome dancer !! Love his smile and hair โบ๐
He's so good. Why isn't he taken in Bollywood movies ??
Rani has great expressions๐๐โค
Love Rani's make up and outfit ๐๐๐
Its so modern and beautiful. Better than what today's actresses wear๐
I never knew Rani could dance so well ๐๐
Thank God there's no rap and a luxurious car with the actress having no expressions and wearing 5-6 outfits in 1 song.๐?
Old is gold !โ๐
@ladymay30
Bollywood has so much double standarts. They complained in that film that Rani Mukerji was older than Shadid Kapoor but when a male actor has a love interest who is 20 years younger nobody has a problem with it.
