Nadeem Saifi and Shravan Rathod, who were popularly known as Nadeem-Shravan, were among the most sought-after music composers of the 1990s. Nadeem-Shravan got their big break with Aashiqui (1990) and went on to compose music for Saajan (1991), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Pardes (1997) and Raja Hindustani (1996), and many other hit films.
In 2005, the duo split. 'Dosti: Friends Forever' was their last movie together.
