Laxmikant and Pyarelal as assitant music directors

[Narsingh]

When I have a lot of free time, I leaf through HFGK. It is fascinating
to find trivial details (for example, the dozens of ways Dalip
Dholakia's name is spelled). Previously, I had mentioned that a
Pyarelal (hopefully of the famous Laxmikant Pyarelal duo) assisted
Jaidev as late as 1971 (Reshma Aur Shera). Laxmikant and Pyarelal had
honed their skills as assistants to a number of music directors. The
following list is based on the information in the 2nd edition (which
did list the names of assitants to music directors) of Volume 3 of
HFGK:

Movie and Year Music Director
Assistant
Hum Bhi Kuchh Kam Nahin (1958) SD Batish Pyarelal
Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane (1959) Kalyanji Veerji Shah
Anandji & Laxmikant
Chand Ki Duniya (1959) Nirmal Kumar Pyarelal
Ek Armaan Mera (1959) SD Batish Pyarelal
Ghar Ghar Ki Baat (1959) Kalyanji Veerji Shah Anandji &

Anandji Laxmikant
Chhalia (1960) Kalyanji Anandji
Laxmikant - Pyarelal
Delhi Junction (1960) Kalyanji Veerji
Shah Pyarelal & Laxmikant
Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960) Kalyanji Anandji
Laxmikant - Pyarelal
Kaala Aadmi (1960) Datta Ram
Sebastian & Pyarelal
Maaya Machhendar (1960) Ramlal – Heerapanna Laxmikant -
Pyarelal

Once the 2nd edition of Volume 4 comes out (which hopefully will
include the names of assistant music directors), I'll update this
list.

I suppose you will cover the other films in due course, when the
second edition is released. But I can add one tidbit :

I think the most prominent display of their names (in terms of
size on the screen) was for "Jab Jab Phool Khile" where the
Music Directors were Kalyanji Anandji. If you have a copy of the
film, you can check for yourself. It is a 1965 film.

Did Laxmikant/Pyrelal ever assist Naushad ?
After Mere Mahboob and Sangharsh, H.S.Rawail signed Naushad
for Mahboob Ki Menhdi. However later on Laxmikant/Pyrelal were
engaged for that movie which some senior artists didn't like.
