The duo have composed music for over 600 movies and
have worked with ace actors like Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand etc. Infact they
have even been the reason for setting a trend for these actors.
Lakshmikant -Pyarelal as they are popularly known have been the biggest
fans of their earlier music gen - Shankar and Jaikishan. Something that
is amazing to note about this duo is that although their first movie
did not even release, they did not take in the wrong spirits, in fact
worked harder for another project coming their way which was Parasmani
that released in 1963. Although their hit as Music Directors was
ofcourse established with the movie 'Dosti' which released in 1964
itself. As music directors, they believed in bringing out quality music
and never compromised on their musicians. Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi combination worked best for these music directors.
Although their era was not too open for western
music, Lakshmikanth and Pyarelal still continued composing even western
music numbers. Few of the duo's popular Indian film songs include 'Dil
Bil Pyar Vyar' in Lata Mangeshkar's voice for the movie Shagird. Any
melody lover will definitely like their composition for the movie Sargam
- 'Dafali wale' sung yet again by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi.
Everyone would be able to associate with one
particular song of the duo and the song is 'Ek do teen' from Tezaab that
released in the year 1988. And ofcourse Madhuri's dancing skills took
this song to a whole to level and yet again there was demand for another
number like this. And all the music lovers were satiated with 'Choli ke
peeche kya hai' from Khalnayak releasing a couple of years later.
The musicians have carved a niche for themselves in
the Bollywood industry and have even won prestigious awards like the
Filmfare too. Although Lakshmikanth is no longer with us, Pyarelal is
still one of the living legends that our country can boast about.
