Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Filmfare Awards

Ever since Laxmikant-Pyarelal entered into the Hindi Film Music in 1963 they were nominated for the Best Music Directors almost for each and every year. There are many years in which LP were nominated for 3 or more numbers of films in a particular year. At the same time LP narrowly missed the awards too. Films like Aaye Din Bahar Ke, Intquam, Do Raste, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Shor, Daag, Bobby, Ek Duje Ke Liye, Prem Rog, Utsav, Sur Sangam, Mr. India, Saudagar and Khalnayak etc certainly deserves the Filmfare Awards for the best music director. All together LP got 7 Filmfare Trophies, including FOUR TIMES in ROW, (1977, 1978, 1979 & 1980), for the following films.

• 1964:- Dosti
• 1967:- Milan
