Cinemaazi remembers Laxmikant Shantaram Kundalkar on his death anniversary
25 May 1998
From fellow music arrangers and assistants to Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal went on to become one of the most successful music composer duos of all time. Their orchestral backgrounds gave them a sound footing in musical variations, which allowed them to adapt and stay ahead of the curve most of the time. Their career is littered with many trend-setting numbers as well as 7 Filmfare Award wins. They also hold the record for most nominations at 25. Laxmikant Shantaram Kundalkar passed away on 25 May, 1998. He was a fan of Shankar Jaikishan and learnt to play the mandolin from Hussain Ali.
