Nasihat (1967)

I am uploading these songs on request...

This movie had the mighty Dara Singh playing a dual role, one good and the other bad. Singh Saab did his usual stuff by besting all the baddies. On the top of this, he found time for romancing. He also sang a song (Mahendra’s voice of course). By the way, Dara’s love interest was a diminutive lady from the South, Rajashree. She earlier appeared, in 1966, opposite Shashi Kapoor in the popular film “Pyar Kiye Jaa”. She appeared in over 200 films in Telugu and Tamil. The pairing of her with Dara was interesting (but not strange, recall the famous team of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri) as Dara was over 6 feet tall whereas Rajashree is hardly 5 feet.

OP at the helm of music did his usual stuff. He came up with some good songs including “Aankhon”, “Teri”, and “Zara”. He was assisted by G.S. Kohli.

Here are these and other songs from this film…

Naya Andaz (1956)

This movie came before Asha became OP’s regular and favorite. All but one song by females was done by Shamshad Begum. And Begum Saab was simply superb. And there was Kishoreda. Together or separately they sang most of the songs. The movie became popular thanks to the beautiful songs composed by OP. OP’s assistant was G.S. Kohli.

The song of the album is “Meri Neendon Mein”. Beautifully composed, meaningfully written, it was sung stirringly by Shamshadji and Kishoreda. It appeared twice in the film, each with different verbiage. Both versions are simply superb.

The songs “Chana Jor Garram”, “Chooko Thandiya”, and “Sainyyaan Raaja” appeared in the movie in quick succession only interrupted by running train music. Most albums publish these three as one song or the first two as one song. Because they are separate, I am uploading them as three separate songs.

Here are these and other songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. The first set of songs follows…

Jaali Note (1960)

Shakti Samanta directed this film that follows the pattern of his earlier 1958 hit movie “Howrah Bridge”. The only difference here is that the hero is Dev Anand instead of Ashok Kumar. However his “Bridge” had another dimension to it. It was the city of Calcutta. That atmosphere is solely missing from this movie. The songs of “Jaali Note” became more popular than the movie. Even today these OP’s songs are hummable and thoroughly enjoyable.

If you are a fan of Asha and Rafi Saab duets, then you are in for a real treat. Seven of the duets out of nine songs were done by Asha and Rafiji. One solo was by Rafi Saab. The other song, a duet by Asha and Shamshadji, I am missing. It was not on CD or DVD. I am requesting members to share this song if they can. Thanks.

The songs “Chaand” and “Raat” are two different songs. The compositions are the same, the singing style is identical, and some of the words are also ditto. But the beginnings and antaras are different. Both are lovely songs.

I am uploading these songs and others from this hit album below…

Thanks for this upload. I recently watched it again and what a cute movie with some very good looking stars and O P Nayyar's fantastic music and R M A Khan's lyrics.

Nishchaiy (1992)

This was OP’s second to last Hindi film. With Asha gone from his life OP utilized the singing talents of Kavita Krishnamurthy who herself is an accomplished singer. After 30 years, OP reunites with his old friend for this movie, the lyricist Qamar Jalalabadi. This will be their last film together. Their previous one was “Hong Kong (1962)”. Their collaboration started with the 1957 film “Mai Baap”. Altogether they worked on 14 films.

Here are the songs from this film…
