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).

Famous quotes containing the words style of, style and/or music:
“A church that can never have done with excommunicating Christ while it exists! Away with your broad and flat churches, and your narrow and tall churches! Take a step forward, and invent a new style of out-houses. Invent a salt that will save you, and defend our nostrils.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
—André Malraux (1901–1976)
