Tribute to N. Dutta... (30 Dec.1987)

Datta Naik, a local resident of Goa, started his film career as a music assistant of the great composer S D Burman. Datta assisted Dada Burman in a number of films. Datta was very impressed with the revolutionary songs of lyricist Sahir Ludhiyanvi. When Datta got his first chance to compose independently for Raj Khosla's Milaap (1955), he insisted for Sahir as the lyricist. The result was some very beautifully songs like 'Ye Baharon Ka Sama..' (Hemant,Lata), 'Jaate Ho To Jaao Par Jaoge Kahan..' (Geeta), etc. The music of Milaap became so popular that Datta came into the category of film industry's most eminent musicians.

Some unforgettable and mersmerising compositions which give the evidence of Datta's musical dexterity are: 'Sitare Raah Takte Hai..' (Lata), 'Main Tumhi Se Poochhti Hoon..' (Lata) from the film Black Cat. 'Aurat Ne Janm Diya Mardon Ko..' (Lata), 'Sambhal-e-Dil..' (Asha-Rafi) from the film Sadhna' 'Maine Chaand Aur Sitaron Ki Tamnna Ki Thi..' (Rafi) from the film Chandrakanta, 'Ashkon Me Jo Paya Hai..' (Talat) from the film Chandi Ki Deewar, 'Kis Jagah Jaayen..' (Asha) from Light House, 'Ab Wo Karam Karen..' (Rafi) from the film Marine Drive, 'Daaman Me Aag Laga Baithe..' (Rafi), 'Tere Pyar Ka Aasra Chahta Hoon..' (Mahendra) from the film Dhool Ka Phool, 'Aaj Ki Raat Nahi Shikwon..' (Mahendra) from Dharamputra and 'Laal Laal Gaal..' from the film Mr. X.

N Datta also gave music in the film named 'Datta Naik'. He had a very strong and long association with Sahir Ludhiyanvi as his lyiricist in most of his films, till Chehre Pe Chehra (1980). Datta Naik was a senible music director who use minimum orchestra to develop the required atmosphere as expressed in the song. He passed away on December 30, 1987.

I would like to remind music lovers another beautiful song composed by N Dutta.

Film: Marine Drive

" Ab woh karam karey kay sitam mai nashey me hoon" N Dutta tuned this song with a different style.

Though ''Laal Laal Gaal'' is the most popular song, my favorites are 1. Jate Ho Toh Jao Per. 2 Main Tumhi Se Puchati Hoon, 3 Dhadkne Lage Dilki Taron ki Duniya, Great Tribute ,to great M.D. But i don't know why i feel that Milap had M.D. Ravi's music? N.Dutta 's music has similarity of M.D. O.P. Nayyar's music style . Thanks Mirza ji for very impressive selection of songs/video, and presented also As USUAL beautifully with excellent Info. Thumbs Up. With respect. Sarla.

@BharatGul N.Dutta was not given the credit he deserved by the press.Music lovers know what N.Dutta was. Bahar-1951,was the film in which he made his debut as an assistant to S.D.Burman,then joined Hemant Kumar Mukerji .Taj-1956 he appeared as an assistant to great Hemant Da.After that N.Dutta never looked behind.He gave his ghost 30th dec,1987 on this day.But left behind an ungorgetsble boon of music .I rank him A CLASS music director.

Excellent tribute to a very under-rated, composer! Also we should not forget his contribution to Marathi films. Please see my uploaded song of 'Apradh' (marathi), sang by Mahendra Kapoor. It's a gem too!
