After a breakof a quarter century we have good filmi music again and I salute
the following music directors and song writers:
Nadeem-Shravan
Anand-Milind
Raam-Laxman
Annu Malik
Sameer
DevKohli

By the way who is this RAM-LAXMAN? I see that while Lata has cut down on her
singing, she sings almost all female songs composed by Ram-LAXMAN. Raam-Laxman
also favours using SP.Balasubraminium as his singer. I have bought almost all
LPs composed by Raam-Laxman but do not have any information on him. Any one
please.

Ram-Laxman is a very famous music director, originally from
Marathi film industry. In last couple of years he started giving music to
Hindi films too. And the name sounds as if it's a pair, but actually Ram-Laxman
is only one person.

your guess is partially correct. Ram-Laxman was a duo MD team, but one
of the two (I forget which) passed away recently. The living member
continues to use the team name however. Some of his/their famous
tunes come from MAINE PYAR KIYA, LOVE(?), SAATWAN AASMAN, 100 DAYS(?), etc.

Correction, Love was MD'd by Anand-Milind. Anmol and Hum Aapke Hain Koun are
the only other Raam-Laxman MD'd movies that come to mind.

I think that Tarana (A Rajshree Production) was MDed by Ram_Laxman.
Also, either "Saanch ko aanch nahin" or "Saawan ko aane do" (both
Rajshree movies), definitely one of the two, was MDed by Ram-Laxman.

Firstly, as someone already pointed out, Ram-Lakshman were a pair, but I
think the latter died sometime during the 70s, and Ram continued to compose
music using the duo's name.
"Tarana" *ring Ranjeeta and Mithun was scored by Ram-Lakshman and had the
pretty popular song by Usha Mangeshkar

"Sultana, sultana, mera naam hai sultaana
mere husn ka har andaaz mastaana"

There was also a duet (one of those "I don't care about pneumonia" rain songs)
which I cannot remember, which was pretty nice.
"Saawan Ko Aane Do" was scored either by Ravindra Jain or RaajKamal (most
probably the latter). So that is not a Raam-Laxman film (what was this thing
that the Rajshri people had with music directors whose name began with R :-) )

OK OK, Maarif, I accede before thine superior knowledge not to
mention thine superior number of followup postings. :)

Raamlaxman is the stage name of music director Vijay Patil. Proficient on the piano and accordion, he started his career in an orchestra. He got his first Hindi film offer, "Agent Vinod" (1977), with another musician Ram and took on the name Laxman. Ram passed away soon after signing the film, but Vijay Patil continued using the Raamlaxman moniker as a mark of respect to his departed colleague. As a duo, Ram - Laxman had created many hit songs in Marathi films, many of them with film-maker Dada Kondke. Try listening to his hit films like Saatwan Aasman, Pyar ka Tarana, Jab Jab Pyar hua etc
