Style of Music
Few directors manage to create their style of music and David Dhawan is easily one of them. He has created his own brand of music through the 90s. Initially, it was a mixed bag with Bappi Lahiri composing hit music for Dhawan in films like Aandhiyan, Aag Ka Gola, Shola Aur Shabnam and Aankhein. But the true David Dhawan musical storm arrived with David Dhawan's successful collaborations with Anand-Milind and Anu Malik.
With Anand-Milind, David created both Indian and westernized songs in films like Swarg, Bol Radha Bol, Eena Meena Deeka, Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Loafer, Hero No. 1, Banarasi Babu and Chal Mere Bhai. Baring Banarasi Babu, all their other combinations ranged from hit to super hit. Although some of these films had songs with double meaning lyrics, they emerged chartbusters. The David Dhawan - Govinda and Anand-Milind team is considered one of the most successful collaborations of the 90s.
David Dhawan formed an invincible team with Anu Malik, coming up with mostly westernized tunes in films like Taaqatwar, Yaarana, Judwaa, Biwi No.1, Gharwali Baharwali, Mr and Mrs Khiladi, Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Chor Machaaye Shor, Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahi, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (one sensational song ) and Shaadi No. 1. Most of these films had hit music.
David Dhawan also extracted successful music from Nadeem-Shravan in Saajan Chale Sasural and above-average music from them again in Do Not Disturb. With changing times, David now works with newer music composers like Vishal-Shekhar, Himesh Reshammiya, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pritam (they have worked together on the shelved John Abraham starrer, Hook Ya Crook) and his new favorites, Sajid-Wajid (Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Partner, Chashme Buddoor and Partner 2).

“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“If the British prose style is Churchillian, America is the tobacco auctioneer, the barker; Runyon, Lardner, W.W., the traveling salesman who can sell the world the Brooklyn Bridge every day, can put anything over on you and convince you that tomatoes grow at the South Pole.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
