Nadeem–Shravan were the most successful [[Bollywood music]] directors of the 1990s until the early 2000s. They displayed a strong influence of Hindustani (classical / semi-classical) music in their compositions, and were the only composers during the 1990s and 2000s who relied heavily on three particular instruments: the [[bansuri]], the [[sitar]] and the [[shehnai]] in almost all of their songs. By using these instruments in a modern way without disconnecting them from their original value, their contribution is unique compared to some rising music directors evolving a new music style beginning in the mid-1990s. They are considered one of the most successful music composers in Hindi cinema history.

The association of Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan dates back to 1973 when they met each other at a function. Their first film assignment was ''Dangal'', a Bhojpuri movie in 1973 (released in 1977) which featured the popular Bhojpuri song "Kashi hile, Patna hile" sung by [[Manna Dey]].<ref>{{Citation|last=Ultra Regional|title=Kashi Hile Patna Hile, Manna Dey, Dangal – Bhojpuri Romantic Song|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qYTMU8jHS4|access-date=2 January 2019}}</ref> Their first Hindi movie assignment was ''Maine Jeena Seekh Liya'' in 1981 sung by Amit Kumar. In 1985, the duo composed music for a commercial project called ''Star Ten''. Ten Hindi actors (Mithun, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Sachin, Danny, Vijendra, Sulakshana Pandit, etc.) sang some songs with lyrics by Anwar Saagar.<ref name="mc">{{cite web|url=http://www.microcan.net/nadeemshravan/bio.html |title= Nadeem-Shravan to Bollywood |publisher=microcan}}</ref> All the while, they struggled to get work and rarely did they get to compose the music for a full film. They suddenly found work, and in 1989, two big movies were released: ''[[Ilaaka]]'', ''[[Hisaab Khoon Ka]]''.'' All of these films flopped at the box office and the music was rejected by audiences and critics alike.

===Gulshan Kumar murder case===
[[Gulshan Kumar]], the owner of [[Super Cassettes Industries T-Series|T-Series]], was shot dead outside the Jeeteshwar Mahadev Mandir, a Hindu mandir dedicated to Lord Shiva of which he attended daily in Jeet Nagar, Andheri West suburb of Mumbai, on 12 August 1997. [[Mumbai underworld]] organization [[D-Company]] was involved with the murder.<ref>{{cite journal|title=The Mafia Calls The Shots|journal=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]|date=25 August 1997|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/the-mafia-calls-the-shots/204098}}</ref> The police also accused Nadeem Saifi of having paid for the murder due to a personal dispute and fled the country after the murder. According to the police, Nadeem hatched the conspiracy in Dubai in May with Anees Ibrahim Kaskar, the brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and Dawood's associates Abu Salem and Kayyum. Crime branch sources said Nadeem has been out of Bombay since Gulshan Kumar died. During the interrogation of the arrested gangsters, the police reportedly learned that Nadeem had organized a "secret" music function in June for Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar in Dubai. Many well-known Bollywood personalities, the police claim, were present.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/news/sep/01super.htm|title=Rediff on the NeT: Music director Nadeem accused of killing Gulshan Kumar|work=Rediff.com|access-date=3 April 2019}}</ref>
[[Gulshan Kumar]], the owner of [[Super Cassettes Industries T-Series|T-Series]], was shot dead outside the Jeeteshwar Mahadev Mandir, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva of which he attended daily in Jeet Nagar, Andheri West suburb of Mumbai, on 12 August 1997. [[Mumbai underworld]] organization [[D-Company]] was involved with the murder.<ref>{{cite journal|title=The Mafia Calls The Shots|journal=[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]|date=25 August 1997|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/the-mafia-calls-the-shots/204098}}</ref> The police also accused Nadeem Saifi of having paid for the murder due to a personal dispute and fled the country after the murder.

After the police's allegations against him, Nadeem Saifi had fled to the United Kingdom. In 2001, the case was taken to the [[London High Court]], which rejected the [[Indian government]]'s request for [[extradition]] on the grounds that there was no ''prima facie'' case against Saifi. In August 2001, the prosecution's main witness, Mohammed Ali Hussain Shaikh, who had earlier claimed Saifi participated in the murder, eventually revealed that he didn't know Saifi and had never seen him.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gulshan murder: Approver denies knowing anything about the case|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2001/aug/08gul.htm|date=8 August 2001}}</ref> Abu Salem also denied Nadeem's involvement on Indian national television. Saifi was also [[exonerated]] by four courts, including the [[House of Lords]] in the United Kingdom and the sessions court in [[Mumbai]].

After the police's allegations against him, Nadeem Saifi was alleged to have fled to the United Kingdom (though he had claimed that he had been in the UK for a month at the time the incident took place). In 2001, the case was taken to the [[London High Court]], which rejected the [[Indian government]]'s request for [[extradition]] on the grounds that there was no ''prima facie'' case against Saifi.

===Later years===
===Later years===
After being inactive for sometime, Nadeem–Shravan made a comeback of sorts with films like ''[[Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa]]'', ''[[Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love|Ek Rishta]]'', ''[[Kasoor]]'', ''[[Hum Ho Gaye Aapke]]'', ''[[Raaz (2002 film)|Raaz]]'', ''[[Dil Hai Tumhaara]]'', ''[[Qayamat: City Under Threat|Qayamat]]'', ''[[Hungama (2003 film)|Hungama]]'', ''[[Andaaz]]'', ''[[Bewafaa (2005 film)|Bewafaa]]'', ''[[Tumsa Nahin Dekha: A Love Story]]'', ''[[Barsaat (2005 film)|Barsaat]]'', ''[[Dosti: Friends Forever|Dosti]]'' and ''[[Do Knot Disturb]]''.
Nadeem remained in the UK and despite the distance between England and India, he and Shravan continued to make music together. But they later split after ''[[Dosti: Friends Forever]]''.<ref name="hl">{{cite web|url=http://www.hindilyrics.net/profiles/nadeem-shravan.html |title= Dosti-last movie as duo|publisher=Hindi Lyrics |access-date=5 January 2012}}</ref>
===Split===
In 2005, the duo split. ''[[Dosti: Friends Forever]]'' was their last movie together. Nadeem started his own perfume and bag company and was also involved in solo compositions. Shravan was uninterested in continuing with his music and instead focused on the music careers of his sons ([[Sanjeev–Darshan]]) and movie production. Another reason cited is probably the growing distance between the two. In an interview, Nadeem stated that there wasn't any conflict between him and Shravan. In late 2013 it was announced that the duo would work together again on the sequel of [[Deewana (1992 film)|Deewana]] but they later split due to personal conflicts again as a result of which Nadeem decided to return as a solo composer for [[Ishq Forever (film)|Ishq Forever]] in 2015 but it didn't become a hit because of less promotion and also because the quality of [[Udit Narayan]], [[Kumar Sanu]] and [[Alka Yagnik]] was missing from his tunes.
===Comeback of Nadeem Saifi===
In 2016, Nadeem Saifi-Akhtar made his comeback with lyricist [[Sameer (lyricist)|Sameer]] in the film ''[[Ishq Forever (film)|Ishq Forever]]''. He has split with his partner Shravan and worked on the film as a solo composer. The film features ten songs. In the year 2017 he continued his musical career in the film [[Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha]] as a solo composer and film is produced and directed by [[Suneel Darshan]].
==Death of Shravan==

  • Shravan Rathod (until 22 April 2021)
  • Nadeem Akhtar Saifi

Nadeem–Shravan is an Indian composer duo in the Bollywood film industry of India. They derive their name from the first names of Nadeem Akhtar Saifi (born 6 August 1954) and Shravan Kumar Rathod (13 November 1954 – 22 April 2021).[1][2]

Nadeem–Shravan was one of the most successful Bollywood music directors of the 1990s until the early 2000s.[3] They displayed a strong influence of Hindustani (classical / semi-classical) music in their compositions, and were the only composers during the 1990s and 2000s who relied heavily on three particular instruments: the bansuri, the sitar and the shehnai in almost all of their songs. By using these instruments in a modern way without disconnecting them from their original value, their contribution is unique compared to some rising music directors evolving a new music style beginning in the mid-1990s. They are considered one of the most successful and greatest music composers in Hindi cinema history.

Their breakthrough soundtrack album was Aashiqui (1990), which sold 20 million units in India,[4] and became the best-selling Bollywood soundtrack album of all time.[5] Nadeem–Shravan were also behind many of the other best-selling Bollywood soundtrack albums of the 1990s.[5] Their success helped establish the music label T-Series.[6] The duo's career temporarily came to a halt with the murder of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar by Mumbai underworld syndicate D-Company, with Nadeem Akhtar Saifi initially accused of involvement, before later being exonerated. The duo eventually made a comeback in the 2000s.

Nadeem–Shravan composed soundtracks for many Hindi films, including Aashiqui (1990), Saajan (1991), Phool Aur Kaante (1991), Sadak (1991), Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Deewana (1992), Sapne Saajan Ke (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Rang (1993), Dilwale (1994), Aatish: Feel the Fire (1994), Salaami (1994), Raja (1995), Barsaat (1995), Agni Sakshi (1996), Jeet (1996), Raja Hindustani (1996), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), Pardes (1997), Judaai (1997), Mohabbat (1997), Maharaja (1998), Sirf Tum (1999), Dhadkan (2000), Kasoor (2001), Ek Rishtaa (2001), Jeena Sirf Merre Liye (2002), Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa (2002), Raaz (2002), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya (2002), Dil Ka Rishta (2003), Andaaz (2003), Qayamat (2003), Tumsa Nahi Dekha (2004) and Bewafaa (2005), Barsaat (2005), Dosti (2005) among others.

Their most commonly featured and favorite singers include "Trio" Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan but other Hindi playback singers like Anuradha Paudwal, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sonu Nigam, Sadhana Sargam, Poornima, Jaspinder Narula, K. S. Chithra, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar, Pankaj Udhas, Mohammed Aziz, Sudesh Bhosle, Shailendra Singh, Shabbir Kumar, Nitin Mukesh, Roop Kumar Rathod, Vinod Rathod, Abhijeet, Shaan, Amit Kumar, KK, Gurdas Maan, Shankar Mahadevan, Babul Supriyo, Manhar Udhas, Bali Brahmbhatt, Jolly Mukherjee, Sapna Mukherjee, Alisha Chinoy, Anwar, Vijay Benedict, Sunanda, Sapna Awasthi, Sarika Kapoor and many others have sung under their baton. Veteran singer Mohammed Rafi also sang for them in their film Dangal and Kishore Kumar in the film Ilaaka. Singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle also sang in few albums for the duo.

Music career[edit | edit source]

Shravan Kumar Rathod, one half of the Nadeem–Shravan duo, in 2012.

The association of Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan dates back to 1973 when they met each other at a function. Their first film assignment was Dangal, a Bhojpuri movie in 1973 (released in 1977) which featured the popular Bhojpuri song "Kashi hile, Patna hile" sung by Manna Dey.[7] Their first Hindi movie assignment was Maine Jeena Seekh Liya in 1981 sung by Amit Kumar. In 1985, the duo composed music for a commercial project called Star Ten. Ten Hindi actors (Mithun, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Sachin, Danny, Vijendra, Sulakshana Pandit, etc.) sang some songs with lyrics by Anwar Saagar.[8]

Early success[edit | edit source]

Their breakthrough film, Aashiqui (1990), which brought them into the limelight, was gifted to them by none other than Gulshan Kumar. Aashiqui has been rated the 4th best soundtrack ever by PlanetBollywood.com on their "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks".[9] The soundtrack album sold 20 million units,[4] making it the best-selling Bollywood soundtrack album of all time.[5]

Nadeem Akhtar Saifi, other half of the Nadeem–Shravan duo, in 1996

Their success continued with Saajan, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Sadak, Sainik, Raja, Dilwale, Raja Hindustani and Phool Aur Kaante. Whether it was "Chehra Kya Dekhte Ho" (Salaami), "Adayein Bhi Hain" (Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin), "Sochenge Tumhe Pyar" (Deewana), "Tujhe Na Dekhu Toh Chain" (Rang), "Dilbar" (Sirf Tum) and "Ek Baar To India" (Jeena Sirf Merre Liye) they all had the distinct stamp of Nadeem–Shravan.[citation needed]

Most of their compositions fall under the filmi-ghazal genre, as they were greatly inspired by ghazal music,[10] and Music of Indian classical.[11]

When Pardes soundtrack was released, the tracks had different varieties of songs; songs ("I Love My India" and "Meri Mehbooba"), love songs ("Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain") and qawwali ("Nahin Hona Tha") pop ("My first day in America"), pain ("Ye Dil Deewana"). PlanetBollywood.com started the review by saying, "The music for Pardes is Nadeem-Shravan's best ever."[12]

They have worked with lyricists like Sameer, Anand Bakshi, Faaiz Anwar, Hasrat Jaipuri, Rani Malik and many others. When they arrived on the music scene, Laxmikant–Pyarelal and Anand–Milind were at the top. But subsequently their hard work paid off and they had various hits in a row.[8]

Gulshan Kumar murder case[edit | edit source]

Gulshan Kumar, the owner of T-Series, was shot dead outside the Jeeteshwar Mahadev Mandir, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva of which he attended daily in Jeet Nagar, Andheri West suburb of Mumbai, on 12 August 1997. Mumbai underworld organization D-Company was involved with the murder.[13] The police also accused Nadeem Saifi of having paid for the murder due to a personal dispute and fled the country after the murder. According to the police, Nadeem hatched the conspiracy in Dubai in May with Anees Ibrahim Kaskar, the brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar and Dawood's associates Abu Salem and Kayyum. Crime branch sources said Nadeem has been out of Bombay since Gulshan Kumar died. During the interrogation of the arrested gangsters, the police reportedly learned that Nadeem had organized a "secret" music function in June for Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar in Dubai. Many well-known Bollywood personalities, the police claim, were present.[14]

After the police's allegations against him, Nadeem Saifi was alleged to have fled to the United Kingdom (though he had claimed that he had been in the UK for a month at the time the incident took place). In 2001, the case was taken to the London High Court, which rejected the Indian government's request for extradition on the grounds that there was no prima facie case against Saifi. In August 2001, the prosecution's main witness, Mohammed Ali Hussain Shaikh, who had earlier claimed Saifi participated in the murder, eventually revealed that he didn't know Saifi and had never seen him.[15] Abu Salem also denied Nadeem's involvement on Indian national television. Saifi was also exonerated by four courts, including the House of Lords in the United Kingdom and the sessions court in Mumbai. Saifi eventually acquired British citizenship, and later moved to Dubai, where he runs a successful perfumery business.[16]

Later years[edit | edit source]

Despite long-distance collaboration from London, they continued producing hits into the early 2000s Dhadkan (2000), Kasoor (2001), Ek Rishtaa (2001), Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa (2002), Raaz (2002), Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya (2002), Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Dil Ka Rishta (2003), Andaaz (2003), Qayamat (2003), Tumsa Nahin Dekha (2004), Bewafaa (2005), Barsaat (2005), and Dosti (2005). The duo split in 2005 but briefly reunited for Do Knot Disturb (2009).[17]

italised in critical condition at the Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai after being diagnosed with COVID-19.[18] He died on 23 April.[19] His son and wife were admitted to another medical facility in the city.[20][21]
