About a month back, I stumbled upon a song ‘aankhen to huyi band magar dard jagaa re’ from the film BEGUM (1945) sung by Ashok Kumar. Until then, I had neither heard of this song nor of the film which had Ashok Kumar and Naseem Bano in the lead roles. I liked the song so much that I must have listened to it umpteen times. The song is written by Gopal Singh Nepali and set to music by Hari Prasanna Das (H P Das) whose name also I heard for the first time. From the Indian Film Trade Data website, I observed that H P Das had given music to 10 Hindi films between 1935 and 1948 including 2-3 films jointly with Manna Dey.

January 16th is the birth anniversary of Omkar Prasad Nayyar (O P Nayyar), one of the most prolific music director of Hindi film industry of the golden era of 50s and 60s. Although O P Nayyar did not receive any formal training in classical music, his folk tune based compositions became a rage among all the sections of the public. That he was one of the top music directors of the golden era of 50s and 60s without Lata Mangeshkar singing a single song for him, speaks volumes about his talent and calibre as a music director.
