Omkar Prasad Nayyar (16 January 1926 – 28 January 2007) was an Indian film music director and composer.
O. P. Nayyar started his career as a movie music composer by composing the background score for the movie Kaneez (1949). He composed music for Guru Dutt's Aar Paar (1954), Mr. & Mrs. '55 (1955), C.I.D. (1956), and Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957). He composed music for Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon and Mere Sanam.
O. P. Nayyar died on 28 January 2007 through cardiac arrest. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, and a son.
c. He added so much fun and quality to Hindi music in the 50s and 60s.Without a basic musical background Nayyar Sahib created immortal melodies .Genius crown deservedly his !
O.P. Nayyar, the untrained musical genius who was more than just a hit machine
He was decidedly the biggest in commercial clout among the musically untrained composers of his times. But Omkar Prasad Nayyar, or O.P. Nayyar as he is known to the world, was much more than just a “hit” machine. His compositions had wide variety and amazing depth.
Young Omkar was born in Lahore (in undivided India) on 16 January 1926. He mastered the harmonium and joined All India Radio (AIR) as a singer. Most of the songs he sang there were his own compositions, and in 1943, he composed “Preetam aan milo” with idol Kundan Lal Saigal in mind. His family of professionals did not appreciate his love for music, though Nayyar was paid Rs 40 for recording the song in Saigal clone C.H. Atma’s voice.
Nayyar also had some other trysts with music at AIR but later lived and worked for a while in Patiala and Delhi. And as he himself put it to me, he would teach poor children music on a harmonium while struggling to meet ends in Mumbai.
The composer, incredibly for someone who had never learnt classical music formally, made his debut with the film Kaneez (1949) as background music director. Producer Dalsukh Pancholi introduced him as composer in Aasmaan (1952). “Though named Aasmaan or sky, it crashed and I was brought down to earth!” Nayyar had quipped.
It took Guru Dutt’s Aar Paar (1954) to not only show Nayyar’s prowess as composer but begin his innings as a name to reckon with. Mr & Mrs 55 (1955), also from Dutt, was his next hit-fest. And then, more often than not, Nayyar was about hit scores rather than songs.
