Raamlaxman who was truly Vijay Patil , was finest recognized for his stupendous chartbusters in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya , Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum…Saath Saath Hain had an extended and chequered innings as a music composer. He began his musical partnership with Surendra. They known as themselves Raamlaxman. They composed music collectively in Marathi for Dada Kondke’s Pandu Havaldar.

But earlier than the duo may see any actual success Surendra (or Raam as he was known as professionally) handed away. Vijay Patil (Laxman) most well-liked to proceed his profession as Raamlaxman and located some success in Rajshri Films’ Agent Vinod (Loveleena aa gaya major, Sabse nirala rangeela diwala, Band kamre mein ek ladki akeli) and Tarana (‘Sultana Sultana’, ‘Kaisi Yeh Judai’).

But it was solely when the scion of Rajshri Production Sooraj Barjatya determined to show director with Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989 that Raamlaxman got here into his personal. Every track from Aaja sham hone aye to Kabootar ja ja to Aaya mausam dosti ka was a chartbuster.

The largest and finest quantity in Maine Pyar Kiya, Dil deewana was a tune Raamlaxman had composed for Rajshri Productions’ Agent Vinod. Sooraj heard it and saved it up for his directorial debut.

After Maine Pyar Kiya Salman Khan wished(and obtained) Raamlaxman to do the music for his submit-debut movie Patthar Ke Phool the place Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balsubramaniam once more sang Kabhi tu chhalia lagta hai , Tumse jo dekhti hello pyar ho gaya and Deewana dil bin sajna ke mane na (déjà vu?) into the charts.

Five years after Maine Pyar Kiya when Sooraj Barjatya returned to path with Hum Aapke Hain Koun he teamed up with Raamlaxman once more for a full-on musical with 14 songs every a chartbuster. Didi tere devar, Maaye nee mayee, Joote de do paise le lo had been iconic chartbusters.

The subsequent Barjatya-Raamlaxman collaboration in Hum Saath Saath Hai was not as magical. But then a Maine Pyar Kiya or a Hum Aapke Hain Koun occurs as soon as in a lifetime. With Raamlaxman it occurred twice. He went on to present hit songs in Humse Badkar Kaun, Sun Sajna, 100 Days, and Manmohan Desai’s Anmol . But it was the collaboration with Sooraj Barjatya that remained Raamlaxman’s signature tune.

In 1997 Raamlaxman composed the songs of a lavish adaptation of the Ramayan known as Lav Kush. It featured a staggering 16 songs, 5 of them duets by Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. The movie directed by V Madhusudhan Rao that includes Jeetendra and Jaya Prada as Ram and Sita would have been a recreation changer for Bollywood musicals had it labored.

Says music composer Lalit Pandit, “Raamlaxmanji’s work specially the work with Rajshri productions and the songs with Lata didi were outstanding. I last met him and saw him at the Radio Mirchi music awards where we had felicitated him with a lifetime achievement award. Even at that time, a few years back he wasn’t well. I was in the jury and had suggested he be given the award that year since I had heard he wasn’t well. I have been hearing so many musicians and family members of music industry dying due to covid.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali an incurable fan of Raamlaxman’s Twin Towers, say, “What Raamlaxmanji did with Sooraj Barjatyaji in Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun was beyond a miracle. These two films lifted the traditional musical of Indian cinema to unheard-of heights. Lataji was about to retire when Maine Pyar Kiya started another innings in her career. There were 14 songs in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, all written into the screenplay like a Broadway musical, so beautifully composed and sung by Lataji and SP Balasubramaniamji. I don’t think we’ve produced a bigger musical hit than Hum Aapke Hain Koun.”
