1926-2007
Hello Fellow IF-ians,
Today is a very sad day in Bollywood. A very great music director has passed away. Mr. O.P. Nayyar is no longer with us. Yes he is the man who composed great songs like 'Ello main hari piya' (Aar Paar), 'Kahin pe nigahen kahin pe nishana (C.I.D.), 'Maang Ke Saath Tumhara' (Naya Daur), 'Aaiye meherban baithiye jaanejaan' (Howrah Bridge), 'Zara holle holle challo more sajna' (Sawan Ki Ghata), 'Chain se humko kabhi' ( Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye).
O.P. Nayyar was born in undivided India in Lahore in 1926. He was earlier employed in AIR, Jullundur. Nayyar scored very popular music for many 1950's films like Baaz, Aar Paar, Mr and Mrs '55 and Kishore Kumar films like P.L.Santoshi's Cham Chama Cham and Kardar's Baap Re Baap.
He was best known for these songs:
| Baabuji dhire chalna, | Aar Paar |
| Ye Lo Main Hari Piya | Aar Paar |
| Maang Ke Saath Tumhara | Naya Daur |
| Ude Jab Jab Zulfen Teri | Naya Daur |
| Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishara Ho Gaya | C.I.D. |
| Leke pehla pehla pyaar | C.I.D. |
| Tumsa Nahin Dekha | Tumsa Nahi Dekha |
| Jawaniyan Yeh Mast | Tumsa Nahi Dekha |
So let's take a moment and pray for him. May God bless his soul.
