Burman for it, but I was impressed by their range and told L-P to accept the challenge that I was giving them. It was nothing less than an Oscar for me!Īnd yet, people said that I was a good director but had no music sense, so I thought my next film should be a musical. It was one of Anand Bakshi’s most beautifully written songs and Pyare-bhai’s atmospheric orchestration to a superb tune by Laxmi-ji earned Laxmi-Pyare and me a call from none other than Raj Kapoor. The first song we recorded was “Ek Rut Aaye Ek Rut Jaaye”, and Pyare-bhai also loved my narration of the visuals-the sun shining over arid land, the poverty and the effects of famine. When I turned filmmaker, the producer of my third film, Gautam Govinda, had worked with them earlier and had signed them, and Laxmi-ji met me enthusiastically, as I was then known as the director of the super-hit Kalicharan.

I flipped over Rafi saab’s “Jab Jab Bahaar Aayi” and most of the other songs, which were hits even though the film flopped. There was a song filmed on Farida Jalal, “Aaiye Bahaar Ko Hum Baant Le”, and I was a part of that song too, strumming a guitar. And they were the film’s music directors. When the music of Dosti came out, I even bought a gramophone and the Dosti record, though I could barely afford such things then!Īnd guess what? The first role I signed after I left FTII was a small one in Taqdeer, produced by Rajshri Productions in 1967. Then, a few days later, I heard “Woh Jab Yaad Aaye” from the same film, and I laid a bet with my colleagues that they would soon outshine Shankar-Jaikishan, who had started becoming a bit predictable. When I was training as an actor at the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, I heard a song, “Hansta Hua Noorani Chehera”, and I came to know it was from a small film called Parasmani and composed by two newcomers named Laxmikant-Pyarelal.Īur meri zubaan se yeh shubh shabd nikal gaye-“Yeh bahut bade banenge (And the auspicious words slipped out, that these two will become big)” But from their names, I thought they must be hailing from some village! ‘I have been a film music buff since I can remember, with various favourite composers from Naushad to Madan Mohan, S.D.
