As I had mentioned in my post the day before, more news and information to share. Let me start by telling about the visitors we had in Delhi during the last four, five weeks. The first to come was Dr. M L Kapoor, from Suffolk, Virginia in the US. Dr. Kapoor is an avid lover of old Hindi films and film music. He is a diehard fan of Pankaj Mullick and Naushad. He has two cars, and the number plates of the cars carry the words ‘NAUSHAD’ and ‘PMULICK’. He is one of the guiding spirits behind the websites on KL Saigal, Pankaj Mullick and KC Dey. He is a doctor of internal medicine, now retired. His main area of interest is the films from New Theatres.

It would be an injustice to call Om Prakash just a comedian. Although that is the performance for which he is most famous. In a career that spans almost six decades (from mid 40s to early 90s), Om Prakash has acted in more than 300 films. And yes, most of them in comic roles. But what sets him apart from the regular crop of comedy actors on the Hindi screen, is his
ability to handle serious roles as a character artist. His portrayals in films like ‘Khandaan’ (1965), ‘Gopi’ (1970), ‘Buddha Mil Gayaa’ (1971) and ‘Annadaata’ (1973) are serious characterizations that stand on par with the leading artists of his time.

The other day a song “na toofan se khelo na saahil se khelo” from the film (Udan Khatola-1955) was posted in the blog. It was 2-3 days later that I saw that song video and heard the song. I had heard it before and but dont remember seeing it before. Having seen that movie long back on Doordarshan. ‘O door ke musafir ham ko bhi saath le le re’ and ‘ dil ka salaam le jaa ulfat ka jaam lejaa’ are the songs which I recognise as from this film. Rest few songs I know but could not associate from this film.
