YEAR-WISE COMPARISON OF LAXMIKANT-PYARELAL MUSIC WITH OTHER CONTEMPORARY MUSIC DIRECTORS
 |
| Laxmikant-Pyarelal |
Laxmikant-Pyarelal, SYMPHONIC ODYSSEY 1963 to 1998
Laxmikant-Pyarelal have dominated the hindi film music. LP have composed over 2800 songs, or even more, according to change of time and the situation demands, for nearly 500 films, a record, in the span of 35 years.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs are available for all the Indian festivals, including Eid, Easter and Christmas. Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs are for all generations. Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs are available for any situations.
If any Radio station starts broadcasting Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs 24 hours X 7 days, none of the songs will be repeated. Such an enormous quantity of popular songs with quality, variety and melody, as well.
PHILOSOPHY OF SONG COMPOSITION
One must understand how Laxmikant-Pyarelal used to compose the songs. Most of the Music directors pairs will compose the song separately / individually, under the respective banner like wise, Shankar-Jaikishan or Kalyanji-Anandji…
Interestingly, Laxmikant was the follower of Jaikishan style, not only in music but also in following Jaikishan’s wearing of wrist watch, cloth etc. Whereas Pyarelal was a follower of Shankar style of music.
Both Laxmikant and Pyarelal were complete musicians. Both of them knew the art of film song compositions as well as the orchestra arrangements. Both of them were capable of extracting the “best” from the singers as well as from the musicians.
In particular Pyarelalji, other than his proficiency in conducting the orchestra, he was an adroit in eliciting impishly rendering from the singers. For example, Lata Mangeshkar’s solo songs, ‘नींद निगाहों से खो जातीहै मुहोब्बत मुहोब्बत (Lootera 1965). The मुहोब्बत word was repeatedly rendered 58 times, each time in different way. बिंदिया चमकेगी sssss (Do Raaste, 1969), giving the stress on चमकेगी. चलो sss सजना (Mere Hamdam Mere Dost, 1968), rendering the word चलो sss, romantically. मैं तेरे इश्क़ मैं मर न जाऊं ssss कभी and many more.
The act of song compositions of Laxmikant-Pyarelal, still remains a secret. No one could guess which is Laxmikant composition or which is Pyarelal composition. It was a complete team work.
All songs have an “LP” stamp. No THIRD person was involved.
It is remarkable achievement for the new comer music directors, Laxmikant-Pyarelal to achieve TOP spot in the span of over three years.
When the duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal started with “Parasmani” music in 1963, many big names like Naushad, Shankar-Jaikishan, Roshan, O P Nayyar, S D Burman, Madan Mohan, Ravi, Chitragupt, Hemant Kumar, etc were established music directors.
But Laxmikant-Pyarelal took on all the might of Naushad, Shankar-Jaikishan O P Nayyar, Roshan, Madan Mohan etc. The duo, Laxmikant-Pyarelal ruled the later half of 60s. Later maintained it, till the end of the century. It was the stunning ‘blow’ to all old, established music directors.
Listen to what Ameen Sayani / C. Ramchandra had predicted about the new, talented, proficient star music directors, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, in the following video clip.

| Pyarelal, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh & Laxmikant |
1) Laxmikant-Pyarelal refusing to Producer Premji’s big budget and prestigious movie “MEERA" ( earlier LP had worked with Premji for the movies like “Mastana”, “Dushman”, “Dost” and “Majboor” all were musically hit). Firstly it was Lata Mangeshkar who refused to sing the songs for “Meera”, as she had sung enough songs/bhajans on Meera. Finally the music was scored by Sitar Maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar and all the songs were sung by Vani Jairam.
2) Laxmikant-Pyarelal also refused to score the music for H.S Rawal’s big budget movie “Laila Majanu”. Earlier LP/HS Rawal had worked for “Mehaboob Ki Mehandi”, a super musical hit with some immortal songs. LP said they are very busy for other big projects and convinced H S Rawal to go ahead with Madanmohan with whom Pyarelal had worked as an assistant for many years. Moreover Madanmohan was less busy on those days. It is unfortunate that Madanmohan died halfway through the film. Later it was Jaidev who completed the remaining job for the film.
This year too Laxmikant-Pyarelal continued to work with Mohammad Rafi, when other contemporary music directors have already forgotten him. LP gave some good songs for Rafi, in spite of Kishore Kumar’s domination in the male singing.
The best award for the music unanimously went to Khaiyyam, his first big award, for his excellent work in ”Kabhi Kabhi”. Beating R D Burman’s “Mehbooba”, Kalyanji-Anandji’s “Bairaag”, Ravindra Jain’s “Chit Chor” and Madanmohan’s “Mousam”.
This year’s national award for the best singer went to Sulakshna Pandit for her song Tu Hi Sagar Hai Tu Hai Kirana Dhoondta Hai Tu Kiska Sahara..(also one of my favorite songs) for the film “Sankalp”. This film too has music by Khaiyyam.
This year witnessed the death of great singer Mukesh .
After failing miserably on the acting part Subhash Ghai emerged as a director. “Kalicharan” became the film.

Though R D Burman, Rajesh Roshan ( a one time assistant to Laxmikant-Pyarelal) and Khaiyyam did produce some good melodies. The songs of ”Karz”, ”Asha” and “Dostana” dominate the show for LP..

This year LP gave the music for as many as 20 films.

This year although LP gave maximum films and tried number of new singers, also tried new combinations for duet..but ..but for the first time in last 28 years LP’s songs were not appearing in the top first five. The only saving grace was the song from “Pati Patni Aur Tawaif”..Kehna Na Tum Kisi Se ( 8th position in Binaca Geet Mala) was a hit but not to the reputation of LP.
This year there was also a rift between Laxmikant and Pyarelal both of them almost decided to separate. For two weeks no talk, no recording of the songs of LP..an unusual thing....Lata Mangeshkar, Music director Naushad, Producer-Director Subhash Ghai took the initiative and resolved the rift between Laxmikant and Pyarelal. Till date no one knows what had happened to the long lasting friendship of L and P.It is still a secret . But it has certainly affected them heavily.
This year's musical show was stolen by Nadeem-Shravan for their super duper music in ”Aashiqui”…the songs were like a storm this year. Anand-Milind also gave some excellent music in ”Dil”. It was one of the rare year in which Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s name did not appear in the nominations for the best music award. Nadeem-Shravan, unanimously, won the best music award, for their excellent work in ”Ashiqui”.

Laxmikant-Pyarelal has some mega hit songs from “Hum”, “Saudagar”. Music of "Prahar" was different from other LP's musical hits in the nineties. Quantity wise LPs were on top. LP once again bounced back to number 1 position which was affected because of the rift between L and P, last year. At the same time Laxmikant-Pyarelal started regularly using new generations singers like Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. They also boldly introduced Sudesh Bhonsle and Vinay Mandke and Alpana Deshpande. Whenever situation demanded LP also gave some good songs for Lata Mangeshkar.
This year Nadeem-Shravan gave a real challenge to LP. It was a balanced equation of the hit songs from LP and NS. I would say being fresh in Nadeem-Shravan’s music they have an edge this year. Ram-Laxman also gave some good music. Hridaynath Mangeshkar's "Lekin" music was also a highlight of the year.
Best Music Award..Once again Laxmikant-Pyarelal were nominated for “HUM” and “SAUDAGAR”, Hridaynath Mangaeshkar was nominated for “Lekin”, Nadeem-Shravan were nominated for “Sajan” and “Phool Aur Kaate”. FinallyNadeem-Shravan won their second successive award for the best music for their melodious music in “Sajan”.
