Today’s song is from an imaginary (Kalpanik) film – Hatimtai ki Beti-1955.
The film was produced and directed by Nanubhai Vakil for his own banner Vakil productions, Bombay. Music was by A.R.Qureshi, assisted ably by the yesteryear’s composer, Damodar Sharma. Sharma was one of the well known Music Directors of the early era films. Among the old era MDs, Damodar Sharma was different, in the sense that his songs were always unlike those of his contemporaries. When you hear his songs, you will notice that difference. From 1934 to 1948, he gave music to just 41 films. All his films were C grade films made by Paramount, Liberty, Ramnik Productions, Mohan Pictures and others. After 1948, he stopped getting films, so he worked as assistant to MD A.R.Qureshi till 1964.
The cast of the film included Chitra, Mahipal, Daljit, Krishnakumari, Kamal, Kammo, Heera Sawant, Helen, Ruhi, Tun Tun, Naaz,Maruti, Sunder, Kesari, W.M.Khan and others. The guest artistes were Heeralal, Ram Singh, Al Nasir etc. Lyricists were Shevan Rizvi and Kaifi Azmi.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-8
This duet composition by Rahul Dev Burman is from the 1990 movie ‘Dushman’. This title “Dushman” was also released in the years 1939, 1957, 1971 and 1998. All these four movies are already represented in the blog. “Dushman”(1990) came 19 years after “Dushman “(1971). Among all “Dushman” ( 🙂 ) I guess that the movie released in 1971 starring Rajesh Khanna in the title role (Dushman chaachaa 🙂 ) must be the most popular and successful of all these movies.
“Dushman”(1990) was directed by Shakti Samanta for ‘Shakti Films, Bombay’ i.e. his home productions. The cast of this movie has Mithoon Chakravarty, Mandakini, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Alok Nath, Deepa Sahi, Tanuja, Biplab Chatterjee, Vijay Arora, Ranjeet, Tarun Ghosh, Manek Dutt, Bob Christo, Ravi Nandi, Shakti Thakur, Anirudh Agarwal and others. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 12.03.1990.

Hullo Atuldom
This post is thanks to the reminder that came from an Atulite (on Whatsapp), that today would have been the 100th birthday of Omkar Prasad Nayyar better known as O.P.Nayyar to the film- music- loving public.
O.P. Nayyar was born in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan, on 16th January 1926 as one among four sons. According to information on the internet, all his brothers are doctors. He was married to Saroj Nayyar who was a stage dancer when she met OPN who was at that time a singer at Lahore Radio Station. The Nayyars are parents to three daughters and a son. One of his granddaughters or grand niece, Niharica Raizada an actress, was born in Luxembourg, was seen in the Rohit Shetty directed ‘Sooryavanshi’ in 2021 & ‘Total Dhamaal’ (2018) a Inder Kumar directed film.
O P Nayyar was active in the film world from 1949 when he gave the background score for ‘Kaneez’. Dalsukh Pancholi’s ‘Aasman’ (1952) was his first as music director. ‘Zid’ (1994) directed by Esmayeel Shroff was the last film with OPN’s music.
In between 1952 & 1994 (almost 42 years) OPN’s music was heard in 73 Hindi movies (according to this post by Atulji.
That post also gives the number of O.P. Nayyar songs yet to be posted as 97. Since then (2018) we have added 37 more songs i.e. around 60 filmy songs are yet to be posted.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-7
Today’s Pancham composed duet is from the movie ‘Bahurani-1989’. I am not sure if I had watched this movie. It appears a familiar movie but I have no recollections about this movie. On our blog we already have movies with this title that were released in the years 1940, 1950 and 1963. Today’s ‘Bahuraani’ will be the fourth such title on this blog and it is from the year 1989. In addition, we also have a movie titled ‘Teen Bahuraaniyaan’ in the blog released in 1968.
“Bahurani-1989” was directed by Manick Chatterjee for ‘Bemisal Films Pvt Ltd, Bombay’. Prem Lalwani and Mohan Lalwani were the producers of this movie and it was passed by Censor Board on 18.12.1989. The cast of this movie has Rekha, Rakesh Roshan, Utpal Dutt, Usha Kiran, Rakesh Bedi, Deven Verma, Urmila Bhatt, Guddi Maruti, Aasha Sharma, Darshan, Inderjeet, Sunder, Aruna Irani and others. Gyandev Agnihotri is the writer of this movie and its Editing was done by Sudhanshu Chakraborty.

Mukesh and his Composers – 45
Uncle Manohar Lal Sonik and nephew Om Prakash Sonik formed a composer-duo with the name Sonik-Omi and left behind some of the most memorable songs in HFM. However, in spite of their debut film Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966) creating musical history and many other subsequent songs in other films becoming popular, their name and fame never reached the heights it ought to have.
Ishwar Bhakti (with Giridhar) (1951) and Mamta with Hansraj Behl (1952) were probably the two films wherein Sonik composed music without Omi.
Sonik experimented with singing and assisting other composers and later when Omi joined films, he too assisted other composers for some time.
Dil Hi Tho Hai (1963) under Roshan is probably the first film where they are credited as Assistant Music Directors as Sonik-Omi. In this film, B. L Rawal must have got to know the skills of the duo and in 1966 independently allotted them Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966).
