'''Instant Karma''' is an Indian band formed by [[Ehsaan Noorani]], [[Loy Mendonsa]] and [[Farhad Wadia]] most popular for its albums [[Dance Masti]] and its sequels.

<br />
==History==<br />
Instant Karma was formed after [[Bally Sagoo]] came out with his album of versions [[Bollywood Flashback]] in mid 1990s. Ehsaan and Loy thought of starting a band to do something comparable, if not better. They just did a couple songs one of them being [[Dil Kya Kare (Song)|Dil Kya Kare]] and forgot about them. Then Sony Music marketed Dil Kya Kare and it was a huge hit. After that Ehsaan, Loy and Farhad started with Instant Karma and compiling albums regularly.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120719032119/http://sify.com/movies/bollywood/fullstory.php?id=14272751 sify.com] Retrieved 16 November 2007</ref><br />
