Chhor Babul Ka Ghar Aangna Aaj Doli Chali Singer: Mohammad Rafi Film: Bin Maan Ke Bache Music: OP Nayyar Year: 1981 Omkar Prasad Nayyar was born in Lahore Pakistan in 1926. His family relocated from Lahore to Amritsar after the partition. He dropped out of college to compose music. In 1949, Nayyar came to Bombay and met producer-director Krishan Kewal who was making Kaneez. Thus his career started with scoring the background music for Kaneez. In 1951 in Delhi, Bhatia, a close friend of Nayyars recommended him to Pancholi who was releasing Nagina starring Nutan and Nasir Khan. But Nayyar got his first break as a composer in Aasmaan. Followed were the films like Chham Chhama Chham and Guru Dutt’s Baaz. Santoshi had dropped Naushad to assign Nayyar while Guru Dutt too opted for Nayyar. But his films flooped badly so he was ready to pack his bags and leave for Amritsar The next film with Guru Dutt Aar Paar was a hit and later on they worked together in Mr. and Mrs. 55. He was now in demand. Lata was the reigning playback singer. But Nayyar determinedly avoided recording with her as he felt her voice did not suit his compositions. He zeroed in on fledgling chanteuse Asha Bhosle. Nayyar had used Asha’s voice only sparingly in the early years (Man mora from Mangu) preferring to concentrate on Geeta and Shamshad Begum. But from 1957, he sidelined his erstwhile favourites and lavished his best on Asha. Nayyar was so involved with Asha Bhosle that he neglected other great singers …
