Music career

The association of Nadeem and Shravan dates back to 1972 when they met each other at a function. Their first Hindi film assignment was Maine Jeena Seekh Liya in 1981. But they were stuck with the B-grade films until they got three big films in the form of Ilaaka, Hisaab Khoon Ka and Lashkar. Though the films were big, the music wasn't anything to be talked about. These same B-grade film composers in the future would grow so popular to the extent that they were signed on by the biggest banners in Bollywood

), they all had the distinct stamp of Nadeem Shravan.

They have composed all kinds of music, be it fast-track, sentimental or dance numbers. But their forte was always melody. Most of their compositions were inspired from old time ghazals, westerns and other charts (Example from Aashiqui, "Dheere Dheere Se" from Joyce Sims' "Come Into My Life" , "Tu Meri Zindgi" from Tasavvur Khanum, "Jane Jigar" from Robin Ghosh's "Bin Tere Jeena Nahi" were inspired songs.

It has been said that they don't have much variety; that they did not experiment too much. But this is where their strength lay, i.e. delivering the music that is traditionally Indian, yet having a fresh hint of modernity woven around it. But Nadeem Shravan wanted to prove to the whole world that they could be "conventionally different", if they chose to be. For that, they needed the support of a director whose script required all kinds of music and who could give them a free hand in composing. When Subhash Ghai

was released, a noted music critic said: "Nadeem Shravan should stop composing music... because there can't be anything better this...Nadeem Shravan have reached their peak." The film had melodious love songs ("Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain"), pop ("My first day in America"), pain ("Ye Dil Deewana"), Qawwali ("Nahin Hona Tha") and "I Love my India". About the song, Nadeem said: "I love my India was not a mere song but it continues to convey my feelings for the country."

Plagiarism

Nadeem-Shravan have been accused of committing plagiarism on several occasions, some of their popular Hindi film songs have been inspired from Pakistani singers.

Split and coming back together

In 2005, the duo split. Nadeem started his own perfumes and bag company, also involved in solo compositions. Also Shravan was disinterested in continuing with his music, and instead focusing on his son's music careers and movie production. Another reason cited is probably the distance between the two.

Awards

Nadeem-Shravan have won several awards during their music career including four Filmfare Awards, two Screen Awards and a Zee Cine Award for Best Music Director.
