I have discussed as many as four songs from “Taxi driver” (1954) but I was not aware of this song. I became aware of this song only after its lyrics were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Most music lovers, including myself, would think that O P Nayyar’s best phase as a music director was the 1950s. Indeed, professionally he ruled the roost in the 1950s, so much so that many other established music directors too were instructed by their producers to create O P Nayyar kind of music. and we have in fact noticed the music of some other music directors resembling O P Nayyar music in that decade.

“Prem Parbat” (1973) is a movie starring Hema Malini,Rehana sultaan, Nana Palsikar, Aghaa, Sanjana, Satish Kaul etc. The movie sank without a trace. And the video of this movie is apparently no longer available. So it is not possible to tell for sure what kind of a movie it was.

“Manchali” (1971) is a movie that is indelibly etched in my mind mainly because of its title song O manchali kahan chali(Manchali)(1973). This song appeared to me to be playing in Binaca geetlmala all the time, though this song did not figure in the final. This movie also had the wonderful song Gham ka fasaana ban gaya achcha(Manchali)(1973) in it. The naughty song Tan man dhan sab hai tera(Manchali)(1973) is also in this movie.
