I am sure all readers will immediately identify them as S-J, L-P, and K-A (Shankar Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyaarelal, and Kalyan ji Anand ji). Stories are rumored on how at times manipulations happened to create a
monopoly. But it can also not be discounted that these duos created some of the finest film songs of their times.

A Shammi Kapoor song is always the quintessential Shammi Kapoor song. With very little apparent effort and with minimum movements, the amount of expression and energy that this powerhouse actor is able to pack into the edifice of a single song, it is simply amazing. The tiny twitches of the neck, the small movements of the fingers and the hands, the rolling and shifting eyes – small signals that are able to communicate a whole nine yard story.

When Alam Ara was released in 1931, people were awe-struck. Additionally, there were 7 songs in it. It was a novelty that the moving images on screen not only talked but they also sang.
