| 1 | '''Laxmikant-Pyarelal [Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar (1937-98) |
| 2 | and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma(b. 1940)''' |
| 3 | |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Music composers at the top of their profession |
| 6 | in the 70s and 80s. Composed the two biggest |
| 7 | hit songs of the late 80s, Ek do teen (from |
| 8 | Tezaab) and the Bachchan number Jumma |
| 9 | chumma (from Hum). Both musicians started |
| 10 | as performers in orchestras, becoming |
| 11 | arrangers for Hindi film music, which often |
| 12 | included ghosting for composers. Laxmikant |
| 13 | learnt the violin with Husnlal while Pyarelal |
| 14 | learnt music from the Goan music teacher, |
| 15 | Anthony Gonsalves (a memory celebrated in |
| 16 | his score for Amar Akbar Anthony). Pyarelal |
| 17 | assisted Bulo C. Rani at Ranjit; both assisted |
| 18 | Naushad, C. Ramchandra and Kalyanji- |
| 19 | Anandji. Their first film as music directors, |
| 20 | Parasmani, yielded a major hit, Hansta hua |
| 21 | nurani chehra. Broke through with Milan and |
| 22 | the Lata Mangeshkar/Mukesh hit, Sawan ka |
| 23 | mahina. Real success came in the 70s with |
| 24 | their Rajesh Khanna films (Dushman, Hathi |
| 25 | Mere Saathi, Do Raaste) and with Raj |
| 26 | Kapoor’s Bobby. Since then they have worked |
| 27 | on many Manmohan Desai films (Dharam |
| 28 | Veer, Naseeb), Shekhar Kapur’s Mr India |
| 29 | and the film that breathed new life into their |
| 30 | career, Tezaab, followed by Hum. They tend to |
| 31 | ascribe their success to their integration of |
| 32 | classical Indian and folk rhythms with |
| 33 | electronic synthesisers. The lyrics of their songs |
| 34 | are frequently written by Anand Bakshi. |
