Omkar Prasad Nayyar gave memorable music to several films in the fifties and the sixties. Even if the film was not a big budget/big star cast, its music was a runaway success due to OP’s foot tapping and heart-warming music. His music for films like Aasmaan (1952), Baaz (1953), Musafirkhaana (1955), Miss Coca Cola (1955), Mr Lambu (1956), Chhoo Mantar (1956), Qaidi (1957), Maai Baap (1957), Bade Sarkar (1957) and Johny Walker (1957) is an ample proof of this.

Here is a song from the film Bade Sarkar starring Kishor Sahu, Kamini Kaushal, Agha etc. Looking at the situation, it seems like all the characters are in a drunken state with a good helping of “Bhaang”. Agha breaks into this song and takes off to a very melodious and memorable song. The song is penned by Sahir Ludhiyanvi and the vocals are by Mohammed Rafi and Geeta Dutt.

The rest of the songs from this film are sung by Asha Bhonsle, yet Geeta leaves her impact in this “half” song. That is the magic of Geeta Dutt for you!

When we have such a delightful and charming song, do we need anything else to get a kick?
