Anand-Milind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anand-Milind Anand and Milind are the sons of the acclaimed music director of the 60s, Chitragupt.
They sizzled in 1984 with Ab Aayega Mazaa their debut film.In 1988 they got highlighted with the musical hit 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'and paved a way for themselves. Mansoor Khan's 'Qauamat Se qauamat Tak' heralded the entry of two new stars in Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla and also showcased the musical talents of Anand Milind. 'Papa Kehte Hain','Ghazab Ka Hai Din', the optimism of 'Akele Hai To Kya Gham Hai' and the innocence of young love in 'Ay Mere Humsafar' were all structured in rhythm and melody, which fell pleasantly on the ears of music lovers.Yes they had done it!!
Since then have never looked back.Next came Salman Khan's debut 'Baaghi' which was a hit again followed by a series of box office hits like 'Dil' , 'Beta' in 1992 and 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga' became the heartbeat of the nation. Anand Milind were accused of copying from Tamil and Telugu films...mostly the Southern Maestro Ilayaraja's songs and occasionally a few of A R Rahman's but with their hit scores they proved that they too are in the race.
As competition increased and more and more rivals jumped in the musical arena, Anand Milind got in danger of being sidelined and then David Dhawan happened with his films Bol Radha Bol, Raja Babu, Coolie No.1 and Hero No.1.These films gave a new lease of life to the brothers which enabled them to sail through the 90s. They also proved with Rakshak, which had 'Shehar Ki Ladki' and 'Sundara Sundara' that they could also compose songs, which are hip and bear the signature of the 90's.
Anand Milind played a role in successful launching some of the biggest stars reigning in the Bollywood skies today including Aamir Khan , Juhi Chawla (QSQT) ; Salman Khan and Naghma's first film Baaghi and Karishma's first film Prem Qaidi.
