these two are great music directors of bollywood.its difficult to compare these two giants of melody.lets try.
roshan was brilliant music director.in 50s he was not very papulour.but 60s decade is full of his melody.barsaat ki raat was turning point of his carrier.the music of this film is still fresh and famous too.some famous songs are.
1-zindagi bar nahin bholay ge wo barsaat ki raat
2-na tu carvan ki taalsh hai
after this roshan become highest paid music director.taj mahal,mamta,chitrlekha,bahu baigaam are great musicalls of that time .the music of rhese films are still fresh and melodious.
khayyam s early carrier was full of hardls.but he never fell insecure.and gave just melodious music.his first chartbuster was kabhi kabhi,.then he became very papulaor.his memorable films are umro jaan,dil-e-nadaan,thodi se bewafai,razia sultan trishul amar deep,
in my opinion roshan is little better then khayyam.both were the kings of melody.but roshan was more successfull
