N Datta - A Composer Cheated by Fate
(12 December 1927 - 30 December 1987)
Datta Naik was born in a Marathi family in Goa, a Portuguese colony then. He made his mark as a music director in Hindi and Marathi films with the name N Datta. Initially he worked as an assistant to the noted composer Ghulam Haider, who migrated to Pakistan.
Thereafter, he assisted the legendary music director Sachin Dev Burman for a few years. N Datta composed music for a Punjabi film ‘Baalo’ in 1951 but got his break in the Hindi film industry as an independent music director for ‘Milap’ in 1955. ‘Marine Drive’ followed in the same year. His music in the three B R Chopra films ‘Sadhna’, ‘Dhool ka Phool’ and ‘Dharmputra’ stands out even to this day. Between 1955 and 1962, he got a fair number of projects, in which he excelled.
Just when things looked rosy for him, N Datta suffered a heart attack in 1962. He had to stop working for a few months. During that period, many major banners slipped out of his hands. B R Chopra, who was planning ‘Gumrah’, released in1963, found an able replacement in Ravi. That was a great setback for Datta Naik. Slowly, B and C grade films started coming
his way, in which he composed music till 1981. His last six years were plagued by ill-health.
Datta Naik always preferred Sahir Ludhianvi as his lyricist, though he has also worked with other lyricists including Majrooh Sultanpuri and Jaan Nisar Akhtar. His music in Marathi films too was extremely appealing.
