Op Datta passed away today morning in Mumbai. I loved his dialogues in Ghulami and Border. Also loved the songs of Pyar ki Jeet. I believe the QJ song Ik dil ke tukDe was rejected by Shashadhar. 7 years later OPD revived it for PKJ. He used to write articles about how Bombay has changed over the last 50 years. Cant find the link write now.
He made his debut as a lyricist at the age of 85.
