HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HAPPENINGS Music director O P Nayyar passes away28th Jan 2007 18.50 IST By Agencies Music director O P Nayyar , best known for classic songs like "Jhumka Gira Re" and "Pukarta Chala Hoon Mein", died of cardiac arrest at his home in Thane on Sunday. He was 81. Rani Nakhwa, with whose kin Nayyar was living for over 10 years after being estranged from his family, is quoted as saying: "He was perfectly alright until 3:30 pm, when he went to the toilet and collapsed inside. He was dead before we could summon medical help."
Born on January 16, 1926 in Lahore (now in Pakistan), Omkar Prasad Nayyar got his first break as a music composer in the film ‘Kaneez’ (1949). Director Guru Dutt's ‘Aar Paar’ (1954) was his first major success. This led to his successful partnership with Dutt on films like ‘Mr And Mrs 55’ and ‘CID’. As news of his death spread, a pall of gloom descended on Bollywood, where Nayyar was regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time even though he had not been in the limelight for close to three decades. Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt described Nayyar -- who was always seen in public in white attire and a hat -- as “an audacious man who was a king in his time”. " Asha Bhosle owes whatever she is to him. The distinct sensuality that was injected into Asha's singing was the contribution of this extraordinary man," Bhatt said. Extensive use of the typical Punjabi rhythm was the main characteristic of Nayyar's music, and among his evergreen tunes were "Kahin Pe Nigahen Kanhi Pe Nishana" (CID), "Mang Ke Saath Tumhara" (Naya Daur) and "Ello Main Hari Piyan" (Aar Paar).
