'''Kalyanji-Anandji'''


aka [[Kalyanji Veerji Shah]] (b. 1928) and
[[Anandji Veerjee Shah]] (b. 1933). Music
composers; started career as musicians in film
orchestras and conductors of live bands. The
elder brother, Kalyanji, a freelance musician,
pioneered a virtual revolution in film music
when he imported a claviolin and first played it
to get the sinuous snake music composed by
[[Hemanta Mukherjee]] in [[Nagin]] (1954), the
first instance of electronic instrumentation in
Hindi film. He started as music director for
[[Babubhai Mistri]] and [[Ravindra Dave]].
Subsequent electronics-dominated music for
films by Dave, [[Manmohan Desai]] and
[[Prakash Mehra]] was central to musicals with
[[Shammi Kapoor]] (Bluff Master), Rajesh
Khanna ([[Sachcha Jhutha]], [[Bandhan]]) and
Bachchan (Don, [[Muqaddar Ka Sikandar]],
[[Zanjeer]]), preceding e.g. [[Bappi Lahiri]] and
Ilaiyaraja. Their music for Saraiya’s
Saraswatichandra was a big hit. Currently
known more for their live concerts in India, at
Madison Square Garden in New York, the
Wembley Arena in London and in South Africa,
often featuring Bachchan in stage
extravaganzas. Had a major recent success with
Rajiv Rai’s [[Tridev]], its song Oye oye becoming
one of the most popular in 80s Hindi cinema.
