When LP's music became a real''STAR'' of the film. - Page 2

LP or Laxmilkantji and Pyarelalji created magic in the late 60's, 70's, and early 80's along with RD Burmanji(or Punchamda). LP's music did wonders for the movies they worked on. There are couple facts that is not correct in this thread though.

There are some films in which the real "STAR" was only Laxmikant-Pyarelal's music. The following selected, listed films have no Major Star Cast, even some of the films are B Grade and Low Budget but the entire success of the film was carried away by Laxmikant-Pyarelal's "MAGICAL MUSIC".

Review of such films and its "Powerful" music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

PARASMANI (1963):-

Rousing start by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Being First Film of LP, they make sure that all the songs are composed as per the standard of early Sixties. The outcome was outstanding. Though the Film "Parasmani" was a mystical film, the film is still remember only because of its immortal songs. LP's very first film Hit the Box Office despite of being B grade, Black & White, Mystical Film and no major star cast to support. But the main cause of the super success of the film was LP's SUPER HIT music. Who can forget ?

--Hasta Hua Nurani Chehara' . Lata Mangeshkar-Kamal Barot
--Wo Jab Yaad Aaye Bahot Yaad Aaye. Lata Mangeshkar-Mohammad Rafi
--Ooi Ma Ooi Ma Ye Kya Ho Gaya ... Lata Mangeshkar
--Chori Chori Jo Tumse Mili.... Lata Mangeshkar-Mukesh
--Mere Dil Main Halki See.. Lata Mangeshkar
--Roshan Tumhi Se Duniya.. Mohammad Rafi


DOSTI (1964):-

RAJASHREE FILMS GOT THE FAME FROM THIS FILM. It was Rajashree Films Second Film. Black & White. All the prominent music directors of that time refused to give the music to this film as there was no star cast (two teenage unknown actors) and also they feel there was nothing in the film to compose the songs for Blind and Physically handicap Children. But LP took up the challenge and the film became History. It has won as many as 8 Filmfare Awards + President Award. The film was a great success and the credit goes to Laxmikant-Pyarelal's immortal music. How to use "classical ragas"; make it little simpler to create Mass Appealing and Popular Songs is a best example of "Dosti" songs. Mohammad Rafi was at its best. Laxmikant-Pyarelal's outstanding music. LP composed majority of the songs in "Pahadi Raag".

--Chahunga Mian Tuze Sanz Sawere.. Mohammad Rafi
--Mera To Jo Bhi Kadam Hai.. Mohammad Rafi
--Koyi Jab Raah Na Paye.. Mohammad Rafi
