One more - "chhed diye mere dil ke taar kyon". I think its a duet between Ustad Amir Khan and one more singer whose name eludes me at the moment.

O.P.'s first two films 'Raagini' and 'Kalpana' (I don't know whether they were chronologically his first two) were fully classical-based. In fact, we have the unusual spectacle of Kishore singing (onscreen) 'Man mora baavra' in Rafi's voice.



Here's another lovely gem from Raagini - 'chhota sa balma, ankhiyan neend chura le gayo'... in raga Tilang.

Raagini (1957) and Kalpana (1960) were definitely not O P Nayyar's first two films. He started in 1952 with Aasman and had at least 15 releases before Raagini.

Savere ka sooraj tumhare liye hai.... in that evergreen raga Yaman.

Point taken, Aditya. 1958 and 1960 can never be the first two films of someone who started in 1952
