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...)

Anand-Milind were replaced in two projects. In Jaanam Samjha Karo, 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).
