kamar patli nazar bijli

If one watched a bollywood movie in 1960s and 1970s, one was sure to have a Helen dance accompanied by a song. This song will have little relevance to the story line of the movie and Helen will not be found anywhere else in the movie, but her dance was still regarded as a major attraction of the movie.

O P Nayyar had fixed singing templates for his singers to follow. His female singers needed to sing in Asha Bhonsle style, and his male singers needed to sing in Rafi style. In case one of these singers were not available for recording the song, then the replacement singer was required to sing in the same way.

Aankhon mein qayaamat ke kaajal
Posted on: April 8, 2009
O P Nayyar, a headstrong music director who ruled the roost for much of 1950s tended to alienate people even close to him. By the time he was creating the music of “Kismat”, he was not on speaking tems with Rafi and so he used the voice of Mahendra Kapoor in the songs of “Kismat”. Mahendra Kapoor was required to sing Rafi style, and he did a competent job of it.

Hai duniya usi ki zamaana usi kaa

“Kashmir Ki Kali ” has so many nice songs that this particular song somehow misses out in the popularity stakes. Though I have heard this song a few times, and for that matter I have even watched the movie, but I was not aware that the song “hai duniya usi ki zamaana usika” was from “Kashmir Ki Kali”.

I have been listening to this song for over three decades and all these days I was under the impression that it must be a song sung in a mela by two females. Yesterday I watched the picturisation of this song for the first time. Wow ! What picturisation !

Chain se humko kabhi
Posted on: December 28, 2008
O P Nayyar and Asha Bhonsle had forged a long professional relation for 15 years which had turned personal as well. The two had continued an affair that lasted just as long. Towards the early years of 1970s, when O P Nayyar was no longer the top music director of Bollywood and his music was losing its hold over the public, his personal relationship with Asha Bhonsle was on the rocks as well. The two finally split in 1972. Prior to that, they had recorded this song “Chain se humko kabhi aapne jeene na diyaa”. From the voice, lyrics and the music, it is obvious that Asha Bhonsle, the lyricist S H Bihari ( a close confidant of O P Nayyar) and O P Nayyar had given this song their best.
