Anand and Milind are an Indian music directors duo consisting of Anand Shrivastav and his younger brother Milind. They have given music for over 200 Bollywood films and are the sons of 60s music director, Chitragupta.
Anand-Milind debuted in Ab Aayega Mazaa (1984) and rose to fame after the success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). The film's successful songs include "Papa Kehte Hain","Ghazab Ka Hai Din", and "Akele Hai To Kya Gham Hai".
The duo then composed the songs for Salman Khan's debut film, Baaghi: A Rebel for Love. Baaghi was followed by a series of box office hits like Dil, Beta (1992) and Dhak Dhak Karne Laga.
Anand-Milind continued to write music throughout the 90s. They composed the songs for David Dhawan's films Bol Radha Bol, Raja Babu, Coolie No.1 and Hero No.1. They also composed more modern songs for Rakshak: "Shehar Ki Ladki" and "Sundara Sundara".
Anand-Milind played a role in launching many Bollywood stars, including Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak; Salman Khan and Naghma in Baaghi; and Karishma in Prem Qaidi. Anand Milind were guest judges in a Bhojpuri show on the Maouva channel, Sur Sangram. During the show, Anand mentioned that he had a daughter called Gauri.
Anand-Milind are accused of plagiarising many tunes from other composers, particularly songs by South Indian composer Ilaiyaraaja.
