Normally it is believed that O P Nayyar composed music for only two Shammi Kapoor movies, viz. “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957) and “Kashmir Ki Kali”(1964). But that is not correct. O P Nayyar also composed the music of “Mujrim” (1958). This was an Eagle Films Production. It was produced by F C Mehra and directed by O P Ralhan. The movie had Shammi Kapoor, Ragini, Shubha Khote, Kamal Kapoor, S. N. Banerjee, Tun Tun, Mumtaz Begum, Amrit Rana, Abdul, Agha Miraz, Ratan Gaurang, Sood, Johnny Walker, Geeta Bali, Murad, Ramesh Thakur, Padmini etc in it.

We all know that Mukesh was regarded as Raj Kapoor’s voice. The film audience accepted it, though in my view, Raj Kapoor’s voice matched more with that of Manna Dey. I came across a somewhat similar situation albeit on a smaller scale in the 40s with reference to a lead actor of that time viz Ragini and the playback singer Zeenat Begum. It is said that Zeenat Begum’s voice matched so much with that of Ragini that many filmgoers of that time felt that it was Ragini who was singing for herself on the screen. Obviously, during that period, Zeenat Begum became the main playback singer for Ragini and with this tag, she became the playback singer for many lead actors of that time. For those to whom these two names do not ring any bells, here are their brief profiles (with inputs from various sources on the internet).

In 1950s, it was difficult to imagine a music director making his mark without using the voice of Lata. But there were two music directors who achieved this seemingly impossible feat. One was O P Nayyar who never used Lata’s voice in even once in his career. Another music director who stopped using Lata’s voice in 1950s was S D Burman.

While posting songs in this blog, I have noticed that it is either the audio or the video, which is often better than the other. But there are some songs in which both audio and the picturisation are outstanding.
