BOBBY 1973
Romantic Revolution with Melodious Music. It was Rishi Kapoor’s first film
“BOBBY’ is an example of a ’SOUNDTRACK’ better than the “BOBBY” Film itself. Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music really came to rescue Raj Kapoor and RK Films. Laxmikant-Pyarelal working first-time with Raj Kapoor. Laxmikant-Pyarelal already maintaining number 1 music director position since 1967, they outdid themselves, further with the “massive” popularity of the “BOBBY’ songs. The music of "BOBBY" was like a storm in the year 1973 and 1974. The film’s success was solely carried away by it's melodious and massively popular music. All songs have been decorated with RICH, MELLIFLUOUS and POWERFUL orchestra arrangements.

Main Shayar To Nahin .. Shailendra Singh.. .
(Songwriter Anand Bakshi) Laxmikant-Pyarelal have mellifluously decorated the WALTZ style orchestra for this lovely song. Use of VIOLINS, IRANI SANTOOR, GUITAR, ACCORDION as well as VIOLA are brilliantly executed in the "prelude", all the "interludes" and also in "postlude"…Rishi Kapoor and Aruna Irani can be seen dancing in waltz style, especially in the "interludes, in the song. Brilliantly filmed by Raj Kapoor as a director.
Average hit movie. Rishi Kapoor - Nitu Singh.
Zindagi Zinda Dili Ka Naam ...M. Rafi
Sham Suhani Aayi Khushiyan ...Lata-Shailendra-Mahendra Kapoor
O Meri Jaan By God ...Kishore Kumar
Nahi Nahi Re Jana Nahi ...Lata Mangeshkar
(Songwriter Verma Malik)
LATIN AMERICAN Style Of Music :: Wonderful Orchestra Arrangements and awesome rendering by Lata Mangeshkar. Brilliant ‘take off’ of SAXOPHONE in first “interlude”. Western style instruments like IRANI SANTOOR, SAXOPHONE, VIOLINS in Symphony style, VIOLA, FLUTE, ACCORDION, etc are brilliantly synchronized with Lata's sweet voice with wonderful DHOLAK rhythm . A Real Treat for Musical Ears...
Manmohan Desai’s first film as a producer - director and this film is a stellar example of the hindi masala movie. star-studded cast featuring three pairs of heroes and heroines. Musical blockbuster filled with maAkbar, actor Rishi Kapoor .
Shirdiwale Sai Baba ...M. Rafi
Humko Tumse Ho Gaya … Lata, Kishore, Rafi, Mukesh.
Honi Ko Anhonee Kar De …. Kishore Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor, Shailendra Sing
Tayyab Ali Pyar Ka Dushman...M. Rafi. AND
Parda Hai Parda ...Mohammad Rai -Amit Kumar.
(Songwriter Anand Bakshi)
Qawwali style composition, brilliantly rendered. Rafi Saab sang this song at the age of 53 years old for 25 years old Rishi Kapoor in this film. The divine talent of Rafi Saab. The sweetness in the voice is beyond words. What a variation in the pitch !!! Only Rafi Saab can do this. Awesomely orchestrated by using MANDOLIN, SHEHNAI / NADASWARAM synchronised with amazing DHOLAK / TABLA rhythm.
A great film about love, marriage and fidelity. The movie is about how after marriage wife should be totally committed to her husband and all previous alliances, loves and relations should burn in the sacred fire at the time of marriage. Supported with extremely melodious music. Powerful acting by Reena Roy, Rishi Kapoor and Jeetendra.
Meri Sanson Ko Jo … Lata Mangeshkar - Mahendra Kapoor (“classic”)
Woh Woh Na Rahe Unke Liye … Mohammad Rafi
Gumsum Si Soyi Hui … Kishore Kumar - Anuradha Paudwal
Na Jane Kaise Pal Main...Kishore Kumar - Suman Kalyanpur - Mohammad Rafi
(Songwriter Anjan)
Melodious “WALTZ" style “rhythm, ‘symphony’ style VIOLINS duly supported by BONGO DRUMS. ‘Interludes’ are also orchestrated with glimpses of ACCORDION and ‘symphony’ VIOLINS. Mesmerising and touchy lyrics by Anjaan Saab.
Beautiful and touching film about a deaf and dumb girl with a passion for Indian classical dance. SARGAM" released in 1979 was K. VISHWANATH's first hindi film, as a director, produced by N N Sippy. It was a super duper musical hit. Powerful Direction and Super Hit Music were the biggest assets of "Sargam". LAXMIKANT-PYARELAL have given all the SEVEN songs to MOHAMMAD RAFI to sing. This was very unusual phenomena during end of the seventies. Mohammad Rafi sounds very different in all of the "Sargam" songs, perhaps at it's best.
Parbat Ke Us Paar….Lata-Rafi
Koyal Boli ...Lata-Rafi
Ramji Ki Nikli Sawari ….Rafi
Mujhe Mat Roko ….Rafi
Kahan Tera Insaf …. Rafi
Hum To Chale Pardes …..Rafi AND top hit
Dafli Wale Dafli Baja Lata Mangeshkar - Mohammad Rafi
(Songwriter Anand Bakshi)
The sounds of the DAFLI (Hand Drum) and the GHUNGAROO (Ankle Bells) are beautifully synchronised to create an appropriate “rhythm” for this extremely melodious song. VIOLINS are awesomely orchestrated in the ‘interludes’. Whenever Laxmikant-Pyarelal composed music, they always took careful consideration of the plot outline of the film. That may not seem like a big deal but it is when there are few music directors in Bollywood who don’t have even the faintest idea of what the film that they are producing music for is about. Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar excel in the songs they sing. Song is shoot in Srinagar, Kashmir.
In 1980 director Subhash Ghai launched his Film Company and started operating as Producer and Director and made Karz. Laxmikant-Pyarelal was his first choice for this musical hit film
Paisa Ye Paisa ...Kishore Kumar
Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar ...Rafi
Ek Haseena Thi ….Kishore-Asha
Main Solah Baras Ki….Kishore - Asha and Mega Hit
Om Shanti Om ...Kishore Kumar
(Songwriter Anand Bakshi)
Spellbind, Huge and Enrich orchestra arrangements in western style, throughout the song. Despite Kishore Kumar’s usual shouts and Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s boisterous orchestra, the melody part of the song is not lost. The song has become a youth anthem. Kishoreji sounds like a ‘man’ of the age of 30. This composition from Laxmikant-Pyarelal came up with a solid riposte to their critics. All the BRASS musical instruments like TUBA and FLUGELHORN, SAXOPHONE and CLARINET along with GUITAR are wonderfully orchestrated in enrich orchestra arrangements with the powerful western ‘beats’.
Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar …Rafi
It was Raj Khosla movie with good music.
Payaliya Chhanki Ke Na ...Mohammad Rafi - Anuradha Paudwal
Mousam Pe Jawani Hai ….Mohammad Rafi - Asha Bhosle
Pyar Kar Pyar Kar … Mohammad Rafi - Asha Bhosle
Mubarak Ho Mubarak Ho ...Manna Dey - Kishore Kumar and the TOP Hit
Prem Ka Rog Laga Mujhe …. Kishore Kumar
(Songwriter Anand Bakshi)
Typical Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Kishore Kumar flavoured song. It is one of the rare devotional songs sung by Kishore Kumar.
Super musical film produced by Jeetendra on a Muslim culture. The film has divergent music.
Chala Chal Latife ..Kishore
Sarakti Jaaye Rukh Se ..Kishore-Lata
Aaye Woh Phoolon Ke Rath Par ..Lata
Jana Jana Jaldi Kya Hai ..Asha
Eid Ka Din Hai ..Rafi-Asha
Marne Ka Gham Nahin ..Asha
AND A stroke of genius (Mohammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar)
Mere Dildar Ka Baankpan
(Songwriter Sahir Ludhiyanvi)
No words are to describe the two singing of the two sensational singers,
Mohammad Rafi - Kishore Kumar.
Producer / Director Raj Kapoor’s yet another musical hit.
Main Hoon Prem Rogi … Suresh Wadkar
Mohabbat Hai Kya Cheez ….Lata Mangeshkar - Suresh Wadkar
Ye Pyar Tha… Anwar - Sudha Malhotra
Ye Galiya Ye Chaubara …. Lata Mangeshkar
Meri Kismat Main Tu ….Lata Mangeshkar - Suresh Wadkar AND
Bhanware Ne Khilaya Phool.. Suresh Wadkar - Lata Mangeshkar
(Songwriter Pandit Narendra Sharma)
Complete song is filmed in this Tulip Garden. "Prelude" of 32 seconds and the "filler" (from 1.01 to 1.44) are full of VIOLINS and GUITAR and humming. It has wonderful "dholak" rhythm. Both the interludes are excellently decorated with glimpses of VIOLINS, FLUTE, "aalaps" (Lataji) and SITAR. This lovely creation is rendered on high notes, by by Lata Mangeshkar and Suresh Wadkar. Song is shoot in Tulip Garden at Kukanhalf, Holland.
NAGINA 1986
Producer / Director Harmesh Malhotra’s musical hit.
Main Teri Dushman ….Lata Mangeshkar (Super Hit Song)
