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”.

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.

On the music front, “Night in London” had the fast rising Laxmikant Pyarelal.

Here is a typically O P Nayyarish romantic song from 1960s. This song is from “Mere Sanam” (1965) and listening to this song, one may guess that the song is from a Shammi Kapoorish movie. And one is too much off the mark in this guesswork. This movie contains Vishwajeet (poor man’s Shammi Kapoor) as well as Asha Parekh.

“Do Kaliyaan” (1968) is one of those movies that I have actually watched (albeit on TV) and the only thing I recall about this movie is that Baby Sonia (now known as Nitu Singh) had played a double role in this movie (and that is why this title called “Do Kaliyaan” viz “two buds”).
