LP & Subhash Ghai

Laxmikant-Pyarelal gave music to nine of Subhash Ghai's films. Almost all films had very good music, some just superb, such as "Karz" and "Khal-Nayak." Their filmography is given in the following table:

I have CDs for almost all of these movies. In the next few days I will upload these.

Karz (1980)

R.D. Burman was originally signed to provide music for "Karz." At last minute, for reasons unknown, Subhash Ghai decided to drop R.D. in favor of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. LP didn't accept the offer immediately. They knew RD was originally signed for the movie and already was working readying some songs for the movie. LP went to see RD and explained to him that they were offered to do "Karz" in RD's place and they were hesitating to accept it because they knew that RD originally was to provide its music. RD eased their minds by letting them go ahead and provide the music for "Karz."

The music for "Karz" was sensational. The song "Om Shanti Om" (which inspired recent Shah Rukh Khan's hit movie) is probably one of the top 10 songs sung by Kishore. LP cleverly "borrowed" some of its music from the American pop group "Chicago."

The movie "Karz" itself was based on the English hit "Reincarnation of Peter Proud." The English movie didn't have Premnath character in it. The movie was a massive hit.

Here are the details and songs of the film "Karz" ...

The last two songs from "Karz" are uploaded below:

No Matter what anyone says this was and is the BEST Subhash Ghai Movie Ever!!!!

Hi swarapriya

Being an avid LP fan, ive got to point out that u have missed Gautam Govinda (1979) from the list, but that can be an exception due to the fact that it wasnt produced under Subhash Ghai's Banner of MUKTA ARTS. but still counts as an LP-Subhash Ghai combination.

Agree with Sythlord, KARZ is by far the best of Subhash Ghai, especially the ending (climaxing the film on the Title Track)

Dharmaanji, you're absolutely right. I will update my table. Thanks. -S

Khal-Nayak (1993)

This album is phenomenal in the sense that LP were in their waning years and came up with one unforgettable score. Apart from the popular "Choli Ke Peeche" there are many more beautiful songs in this album. The music composition for this album I would rate as one of the top 10 albums of LP.

An interesting side note about this movie is that when this movie was being filmed there were rumors flying about Madhuri and Sanjay Dutt romantically involved. That added more to the mysticism the movie created.

Now for the details of the album and its songs ...

To finsih rest of the songs of "Khal-Nayak" ...

Ram Lakhan (1989)


This movie was out and out a copy of Yash Chopra's superhit movie Deewar. Yet it was entertaining because of some very good songs. Anil Kapoor was very convincing in his role as Lakhan. Here are the details of the songs ...

Now for rest of the songs of "Ram Lakhan (1989)" ...

Meri Jung (1985)

This movie was written by Javed Akhtar after the famous story writing team of Salim-Javed split up. It has all the familiar ingredients of a Salim-Javed story. Some songs are good. Especially the song "Bol Baby Bol" was a rage when the movie was released. The promise Javed Jaffrey showed with this song never got fully materilized. The song as well as the movie were hits.

There is a song in this movie "Jhoom Le Jhoom Le" that was sung together by Laxmikant (one of the music directors) and Subhash Ghai (producer and director of the movie). Also, both Nutan and Amarish Puri won awards in best supporting roles.

Now for the details of the songs and the songs themselves ...

Trimurti (1995)

This movie was directed by Mukul Anand among whose credits include Agneepath, Hum, and Khuda Gawah. There are some very good songs in this album. However, inspite of the star power the movie boasted, it was a flop. Like the song from this movie "Very Good Very Good, Very Bad Very Bad", the songs are "Very Good, Very Good" indeed but the movie itself was "Very Bad, Very Bad."

Now for details of songs and the songs themselves ...

Now for the rest of the songs from th album "Trimurti (1995)" ...

Karma (1986)

The distinguishing feature of this movie is that it boasts formidable star cast. Even though it could be considered a blessing, during the filming of this movie it was widely reported that the clash of egos between thespians Dilip Kumar and Naseeruddin Shah was an unexpectd and unwanted pain to its director. Like most Ghai's movies, there is lot of style to this movie but not much substance.

One redeeming feature of the movie was its songs. "De Daaru" and others were very popular during movie's run. Anand Bakshi, the lyricist, cleverly juxtaposes words in coming up with three similar sounding songs: "Aye Mohabbat Tere Liye", "Aye Sanam Tere Liye", and "Aye Watan Tere Liye".

Here are details of the songs and songs themselves ...

Now for rest of the songs of "Karma (1986)" ...

Hero (1983)


This movie was originally to star Sanjay Dutt. But Sanjay was going through rough time in his personal life and was in drug related rehabilitation and was not available. Subhash Ghai decided to give Jackie Shroff a break as the leading man. Dev Anand originally introduced him into the movies. Jackie earlier played a bit role in Dev's "Heera Panna (1973)." He also had a role in Dev Anand's "Swami Dada (1982)."

Many of the songs of the movie "Hero" were popular when it was released. The movie was a huge hit and made Jackie an overnight star.

Here are the details of songs and songs themselves ...

Now for the last two songs of "Hero (1983)" ...

Saudagar (1991)


The main feature of this movie is that Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar were acting together after 32 years. The only movie they acted together was Gemini's huge hit "Paigham." They played brothers in that movie with Dilip having the major share of the role. Inspite of the pair of great actors, this movie was another major disappointment. For the umpteenth time we see "Romeo and Juliet" story told again. Even the songs were so so. Usually reliable Lyricist Anand Bakshi saaheb was also disappointing. Laxmikant-Pyarelal, the music duo that composed so many great songs for Subhash Ghai movies were also a personal let down for me.

Some of the songs I am uploading here were contributed by the Forum members. Here are the details of the songs and songs themselves ...

Now for the last two songs of "Saudagar (1991)" ...

Krodhi (1981)

Inspite of the huge starcast, the movie "Krodhi" was only a moderate success. There are some good songs in this movie that were penned by Anand Bakshi.

Now for the rest of the songs of "Krodhi (1981)" ...

Gautam Govinda (1979)

This is the last album in the series LP & Subhash Ghai. "Gautam Govinda" movie was the first time LP & Subhash Ghai worked together. They went onto collaborate on eight films. Almost all of the songs from these movies were hits. Another common theme of all these eight movies is that lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi Saheb.

There were only four songs in this movie, but all were good. The solo by Kishoreji can easily be singled out even though other songs are good as well.

Now for the description of the songs and songs themselves ...

Wonderful effort Swarapriyaji.

Thanks for all the uploads.

The song 'Ek Rut Aaye' has instruments & that eerie feeling as also present in RD Burman's 'Mere Naina Sawan Bhado' from Mehbooba...
