The occasional series on Bollywood composers continues with a look at the 1950s output of O P Nayyar focusing on his seminal and popular works with Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Geeta Dutt in blockbuster films such as 'Mr and Mrs 55'. His work is known for exploring light romantic themes - thumri and for his use of the tonga beat - but more generally he was a great innovator and a bold, robust songwriter who made a strong mark on the soundscape of this classic era of cinema. Plus, a heartfelt tribute to friend of the arts and of many international artists who visited his hometown of Atina in Lazio, Luciano Caira.
