and Shahrukh Khan
. Suhaag
(1994), starring Ajay Devgun, Akshay Kumar
, Karishma Kapoor and Naghma

with director K. Vishwanath, are amongst their finest works.
Anand-Milind mostly found loyalists in producers Nitin Manmohan and Nandu Tolani, who repeated them in almost all their projects throughout the 90's. With Nitin Manmohan, the duo delivered hits in Maha-Sangram
, Adharm, Bol Radha Bol
, Laadla
, Eena Meena Deeka, Army
and Chal Mere Bhai
. With Nandu Tolani, they worked on hits like Yaad Rakhegi Duniya

, Harmesh Malhotra, K. Vishwanath, Ashok Ghai, Boney Kapoor
, to name a few, opted for Anand-Milind in the 90's over Laxmikant-Pyarelal for their new projects.
Later, they went on to be a influenced by some tunes by maestro Illayaraja (on the insistence of producers, directors and actors) and the beats and style from these songs, formed a major part of their arrangements. So much so, that a lot of their tunes began sounding alike. This was one of the main reasons for their downfall in the late 90'ss from the immense popularity they achieved during the early 90's, giving room to new composers and their fresh compositions.
Anand-Milind experimented with their music and proved their true musical genius with Mrityudand
(1997) (where they worked for the first time with wordsmith Javed Akhtar
) and Daayraa
(1997) (with poetry by none other than Gulzar). Both these albums received rave reviews by critics unanimously, but both soundtracks were highly ignored, in terms of promotion. Sangeet was another fine example of them exploring and experimenting.
, Chotta Chetan, and Rakht.
The other lyricists with whom Anand-Milind mostly worked were Majrooh Sultanpuri

. They created Indian melodies with folkish influences for Raj Kanwar
's Jaan (1996). They also created a several love ballads and the popular Shiamak Davar title track for Hrishikesh Mukherji's Jhoot Bole Kauwa Kaate. Anand Bakshi
worded both these albums. Other hits with Anand Bakshi
included Aazmayish
, Pehla Pehla Pyaar

for Madhuri Dixit.
. They also worked with legends Lata Mangeshkar
and Asha Bhosle

and Abhijeet. They also heavily promoted Poornima and worked with Sapna Mukherjee
on a regular basis. Alka Yagnik
, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sadhna Sargam, Kumar Sanu
and Anuradha Paudwal
were regulars. Anand-Milind also continue to work with veterans like Suresh Wadkar

and KS Chithra. Chithra recorded her first hindi soundtrack under the music direction of Anand-Milind. The film was called Love
. Ghazal singers Jagdish Singh
, Anup Jalota
, Pankaj Udhas
and Manhar Udhas
have also recorded few songs with the duo. Anand-Milind also teamed up on several occasions with Amit Kumar
(in the early 90s). Their combination yielded many hits.
Anand-Milind also worked with Vinod Rathod
a lot in the 90s, making him the voice of Govinda in hit songs for films like Raja Babu, Banarsi Babu, Hero No. 1
and Dulhe Raja
, to name a few. They also recorded with Jolly Mukherjee
, Alisha Chinai
and Sukhwinder Singh
. Sonu Nigam
was a favorite in the late 90s and they teamed up for many a hit numbers. Anand himself sang a few songs. Pop singers Sunita Rao and Shweta Shetty
have also recorded for them on several occasions. The qawali-pop king Altaf Raja
recorded a few hit songs (all for films starring Mithun Chakraboty) under their supervision. Sudesh Bhosle has also been behind the microphone for the duo for several films. For the more folksy tunes, their first choice was always Sapna Awasthi over Ila Arun
, with whom they recorded just one song. Anand-Milind also recorded a number of songs with the then child artist Aditya Narayan
and also worked on many songs with Jaspinder Narula
. Anand-Milind also managed to get south maestro Yesudas to record a song for them in the 1997 film Daayra. They also promoted Gayatri Iyer
(Gayatri Ganjawala) in films like Loafer, Insaaf, Daanveer, Muqaddar and Tum Hi To Ho.
But Anand-Milind also promoted a lot of new talents whose careers who never took off. Some of these are Bela Sulakhe, Chandana Dixit, Bhavana Pandit, Jyotsna, Sumati, Uttara Kelkar, Vipin Sachdeva, Parvez, Sharon Prabhakar
and Sarika Kapoor, to name a few.
Anand-Milind also got a lot of actors behind the microphone. Aamir Khan
recited a few lines for the song Papa Kehte Hain (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
), Aditya Pancholi
for Dhak Dhak (Maha Sangram
), Anupam Kher
joined Amit Kumar
for the song Aao Ji Aao (Mera Pati Sirf Mera Hain), Neelam
recited a few lines in the title song of the film Ek Ladka Ek Ladki
, Sanjay Dutt
and Salman Khan
crooned the title track of the film Chal Mere Bhai
and recently Raghubir Yadav recorded a song for the yet to be released film, Yeh Khula Aasman.
Actor Aroon Bakshi also recorded many hit songs under Anand-Milind's music direction, which were mostly picturised on the main hero. Some of these include Tuna Tuna (Adharm), Jhule Jhule Lal (Jai-Kishen), filmed on Akshay Kumar
, Mera Mehboob (Gopi Kishen), filmed on Sunil Shetty, Tha Tha Tha filmed on Ajay Devgun (Platform) and Boi Boi (Laadla
), to name a few. Actor-Drector Sachin
sung a song for the duo, for the shelved film directed by him, for ABCL, called Naam Kya Hain. Veteran lyricist Anand Bakshi
also recorded a song for the film Jaan (for which he also worded the songs) composed by them.
With changing times, Anand-Milind now opt for the newer breed of singers and have done a good amount of work with Kay Kay
, Sowmya Raoh
, Shaan
, Sunidhi Chauhan
, Shreya Ghoshal, Kunal Ganjawala
, June Banerjee, Monali Thakur
, Rahul Seth and Richa Sharma.
, which hit prime time Indian television, during the late 80's. Pankaj Parashar
, the director of this extremely popular television series, directed Anand-Milind's music in four films, Ab Aayega Maza, Peecha Karo, Jalwa and Inteqam
.
Anand-Milind also composed the theme track for Lehren, a film based video-magazine, which released in several volumes in the late 80's through the early 90's. Lehren showcased fim parties, film events and also reviewed new film releases. It also covered features on forthcoming films and was hugely successful while it was produced.
Anand-Milind also appeared as judges in a few episodes of India's first singing, talent-based show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
, around the final season, before it joined the "voting-by-viewers" bandwagon to compete with Sony television's Indian Idol
.
Anand-Milind have also composed the theme music for the period-fantasy drama Chandramukhi, directed by Sunil Agnihotri, who also directed them in films like Jai-Kishen and Ali Baba Aur 40 Chor.
's songs in the film Dil were dubbed by Anuradha Paudwal
, Alka Yagnik
did not work with the duo for almost 2 years, only to patch up in 1993 and record close to 200 songs.
Kavita Krishnamurthy and Anand-Milind have never worked together post 1996. The reason for this was Kavita Krishnamurthy's decision to not accompany Anand-Milind on a musical tour.
They occasionally were inspired by south maestro Illayaraja's compositions in several of their films like Love, Dil, Beta, Anari, Taqdeerwala etc on the saying of the directors and actors of the film.(Note to the Wiki members:This is Anand of Anand Milind's daughter and I am "donating" a bit of information to wikipedia...you can delete the information in the bracket but don't delete what I have typed before that...)
Anand-Milind were replaced in two projects. In Jaanam Samjha Karo, Anu Malik
replaced them, though one song composed by them was retained (which was sung by Alka Yagnik) and in Dahek, Aadesh Shrivastava
replaced them, with two of their songs being retained. They expressed their displeasure to this practice, but the producers insisted on multiple composers. Anand Raaj Anand was brought in as a guest composer in two other films composed by Anand-Milind, Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare (also featuring songs by Daboo Malik and Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen) and Jaani Dushman - Ek Anokhi Prem Kahani (which also had one song by Sandeep Chowta
).
Ironically, despite their protests, Anand-Milind themselves appeared as guest composers in two films, Rakht, which had Anand Raj Anand
, Shaan
and Naresh Sharma sharing credits and the re-released version of Chota Chetan, which had music by Illayaraja, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Anu Malik
, along with Anand-Milind.
After having worked on almost 950 songs, Anand-Milind and Sameer parted ways in 2000 (after Chal Mere Bhai) and a delayed 2004 release of Police Force when Anand-Milind felt that Sameer wasn't giving their films the attention it deserved. During this gap, Anand-Milind worked with lyricists like Ibrahim Ashq, Salim Binjori, Praveen Baharadwaj and Jalees Sherwani.
The cold war thawed at Sameer's book release function where the lyricist reminisced about his association with Anand-Milind. "At the event, Sameer mentioned that he had written 950 songs with us and only around 400 with Nadeem-Shravan. I immediately messaged him saying let's add another 50 and make it a thousand; it will be a record. He agreed promptly," says Milind. They re-united with a Bhojpuri film called Sajan Sangh Laagi Laganiya Re and Idiot Box (2010).
, who worked with Anand-Milind's father Chitragupt
, gave Milind his name.
Anand-Milind created a record of sorts by completing 100 films in 1994, most of which were composed between 1990-1994.
Anand-Milind were signed to do the music of Pahlaj Nihlani's ambitious project Indian which was all set to star Sunny Deol
and Aishwariya Rai. They even composed a few tunes but the film was shelved. Sunny Deol
however, was very impressed by one song Tanhaai sung by none other than Pakistani qawali maestro Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and decided to use the song from Indian in his maiden directorial venture Dillagi.

Style
Anand-Milind styled their music mostly based on Indian melodies and folk tunes. Their compositions bore some resemblance to the Laxmikant-Pyarelal school of music, in the early 90's, resulting in most of their compositions between 1988-1995 being popular in the interiors and rural India, even today.

, to name a few, opted for Anand-Milind in the 90's over Laxmikant-Pyarelal for their new projects.
Later, they went on to be a influenced by some tunes by maestro Illayaraja (on the insistence of producers, directors and actors) and the beats and style from these songs, formed a major part of their arrangements. So much so, that a lot of their tunes began sounding alike. This was one of the main reasons for their downfall in the late 90'ss from the immense popularity they achieved during the early 90's, giving room to new composers and their fresh compositions.
Anand-Milind experimented with their music and proved their true musical genius with Mrityudand

did not work with the duo for almost 2 years, only to patch up in 1993 and record close to 200 songs.
Kavita Krishnamurthy and Anand-Milind have never worked together post 1996. The reason for this was Kavita Krishnamurthy's decision to not accompany Anand-Milind on a musical tour.
They occasionally were inspired by south maestro Illayaraja's compositions in several of their films like Love, Dil, Beta, Anari, Taqdeerwala etc on the saying of the directors and actors of the film.(Note to the Wiki members:This is Anand of Anand Milind's daughter and I am "donating" a bit of information to wikipedia...you can delete the information in the bracket but don't delete what I have typed before that...)

, along with Anand-Milind.
After having worked on almost 950 songs, Anand-Milind and Sameer parted ways in 2000 (after Chal Mere Bhai) and a delayed 2004 release of Police Force when Anand-Milind felt that Sameer wasn't giving their films the attention it deserved. During this gap, Anand-Milind worked with lyricists like Ibrahim Ashq, Salim Binjori, Praveen Baharadwaj and Jalees Sherwani.
The cold war thawed at Sameer's book release function where the lyricist reminisced about his association with Anand-Milind. "At the event, Sameer mentioned that he had written 950 songs with us and only around 400 with Nadeem-Shravan. I immediately messaged him saying let's add another 50 and make it a thousand; it will be a record. He agreed promptly," says Milind. They re-united with a Bhojpuri film called Sajan Sangh Laagi Laganiya Re and Idiot Box (2010).
