Thanks for the clarifications Aditya and Exon. So now we know that M L Khanna (lyricist and Usha Khanna's father) did compose music for the film Passing Show (1956).

Now the question arises whether Manohar (who composed music for the film Dr Z) and M L Khanna (lyricist and Usha Khanna's father) are the same person or not?

Gets more confusing. See this site for listing of Gramophone Company of India records.

This says that the "artiste" or MD for passing Show is Manohar, which is the same as Doctor Z, Chingari etc. I think HFGK also credits it to Manohar. Exon's source say Manohar Lal Khanna. Now, the question still remains - is Manohar, the MD, same as M L Khanna?

I would now say they are different people, because I find it strange that not even a single song in all the films composed by "Manohar" is written by M L Khanna who was essentially a lyricist.

How I wish someone here knew Usha Khanna and could simply pick up the phone and ask her
