Omkar Prasad Nayyar or O.P., as he was famously known, was born in Lahore on January 16, 2016. Largely because of not having any formal training in classical music, he was met with a string of failures and was almost ready to pack his bags when an unexpected opportunity came his way. He got a call from the great Guru Dutt to compose music for his film ‘Aar Paar.’ All the songs became a great hit and established OP as a music director.

Rajendra Krishan may not be a well recognise name or face but his work speaks for himself.

Rajendra Krishan was a star among his fraternity. And yet he never tom-tommed about himself, or got the media to hype him when many lesser names even from those eras did! Very few of today’s old music buffs recall his name, and not many from his peak-time even know what he looked like! But Rajendra Krishan lives on with and through his incredible volume of work that effortlessly gives him a rock-solid position among the top five greatest lyricists of all time, as well as among the biggest names in screenwriting.

They call him a genius. They call him a maverick. They also call him The Boss!

There’s no denying the fact that India (more so the Hindi film industry) hasn’t seen a composer as phenomenal as R.D. Burman. He not only changed the sound of Hindi film music, he managed to turn it upside down. From the use of Bossa Nova to frequent innovations like running a comb on the teeth and whistling in empty beer bottles to create stupendous music, R.D. Burman laid down and pretty much defined the landscape of modern film music.

Considered to be a man ahead of his time, Guru Dutt was one of the greatest icons of commercial Indian cinema. Although he made less than fifty films, they are believed to be the best to come from Bollywood's Golden Age, known both for their ability to reach out to the common man and for their artistic and lyrical content, and they went on to become trend-setters that have influenced Bollywood ever since. But for all his genius, there was a shroud of tragedy that overshadowed his career and life.
