In Hindi movies, there are songs for all occasions including songs meant to assuage the hurt feelings of the beloved. Now, how can one go about assuaging the hurt felings of one’s beloved ? The common and gentlemanly method is to say sorry. But then Hindi movie heroes (like Government employees) 🙂 can never see the errors of their ways and cannot say sorry. Even when they say sorry then do not mean it. In a railway station, one listens to the announcement saying ” The train is running late. We are sorry for the inconvenience”. The announcer hardly sounds sorry while making this announcement.

when one listens to O P Nayyar’s music, one often may find his music sounding same. But when one frees one’s mind of such pre conceived notions (viz. different compositions of a music composer needs to sound different from each other), one can enjoy music the best. And in case of O P Nayyar’s music, one should listen to the music and enjoy the indescribable quality of enjoyment that these compositions bring. This quality cannot be taught/ learnt/passed on to future generations. It was a quality that went into oblivion with O P Nayyar. And we need to savour the legacy that O P Nayyar has left behind.

Madness manifests itself in many forms. And not just differently in different people but also differently at different times in the same person. Long before I got to learn of the term OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I can claim to have exhibited signs that would make an OCD affected person proud.

Remembering Mehmood, on his birth anniversary (29th september).
The name brings on the image of a dhoti clad south Indian Brahmin music teacher with a clean shaven head, and a long choti. The year is 1968. Comedy actor, producer and director Mehmood, released his film Padosan. With Kishore Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Keshto Mukherjee etc., the film has gone on to be the most enduring and memorable comedy films in Hindi cinema. (As the story goes, once early in his acting career, Mehmood went to Kishore Kumar to request for casting in one of his films. Kishore da was reluctant, considering that he himself was generally doing comic roles. Mehmood came away with a comment that one day, he (Mehmood) would get an opportunity to produce films, and then he would definitely cast Kishore da in it. It happened with Padosan 🙂 )

The decade of 60s was the most prolific and busy for Usha Khanna. A very large body of work of music compositions created by her, came during these years. And all the music she has created is wonderfully hummable and still tingles the heart when one of her songs is played. The 1965 film, ‘Ek Sapera Ek Lutera’ is no different. Practically all the songs of this film went on to become very popular, although the movie itself was a B grade production, and did just OK on the box office. Produced under the banner of Dimple Films, Bombay and directed by Naresh Kumar, the film has lyrics written by Asad Bhopali and the music composition is by Usha Khanna. The star cast is a typical B grade lineup for those times, featuring Feroze Khan, Kumkum, Uma Dutt, Mumtaz Begum, Shyam Kumar, Indira Bansal, Tuntun, Ramavtar, Rashid Khan, Daljeet,Sheikh, Sunder, Gopal Ralhan, Rani, Madhu Apte, Krishna, Khairaati etc. The film is a costume action cum romance drama, that is based on the life style and culture of snake charmers and gypsies.
