TSUNAMI of Laxmikant-Pyarelal Music. 
Laxmikant-Pyarelal Right On TOP 

LP v/s Other Prominent Musical Hits of 1967





Shankar-Jaikishan:- -- Chhoti Si Mulaqat, --An Evening In Paris,-- Around The World
R D Burman:- -- Baharon Ke Sapane
S D Burman:- --Jewel Thief 
Ravi:- -- Hamraaz
Kalyanji-Anandji:- --Upkar
Roshan:- --Bahu Begam, Noor-Jahan
Naushad:- --Ram Aur Shyam

Laxmikant-Pyarelal:- --Milan, --Shagird, --Farz, --Patthar Ke Sanam, --Anita, --Night In London, --Jaal,-- Taqdeer ( I have not considered the films like, Chhaila Babu, Milan Ki Raat, in which too, LP has given some beautiful songs)

It was an LP "wave". "Weekly Binaca Geet Mala" was 70% flooded with LP songs...It was a CLEAN SWEEP..

I don't think any of the music directors have given so many hits and quality songs in a particular year. . 

Pyarelal, Jeetendra and Laxmikant 

"FARZ" was the most successful golden jubilee hit movie which made Jeetendra a STAR.

Truly speaking 1967 belongs to Laxmikant-Pyarelal, they not only confirmed the Number One position in Hindi Film Music, but also consolidated it with a series of hits by one after another with variety.

After this victorious feat, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and success went together without a break or loss of continuity. 

Laxmikant-Pyarelal won their second filmfare award for “MILAN”, beating Kalyanji-Anandji for “Upkar” and Ravi for “Humraz”.  

Now this was the time that Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music became an essential component of every successful film. Big banners, prominent producers and directors wanted LP to score them for their respective films.

BINACA Geetmala Standing in Annual Countdown.. ( 33 songs ) 

Songs of Milan, under the music direction of Laxmikant Pyarelal, took the nation by storm in the year 1967, and Binaca geetmala 1967 was no exception.
