Even with your eyes shut you couldn't miss the
slightly tipsy drawl of this wonderful actor who brought a warm presence to the screen for
over five decades, beginning with Daasi. Comedian for most of his films, Om Prakash could
also conjure chilling villainy in films like Apna Desh. A character actor par excellence,
he enacted roles ranging from bewildered old men to henpecked husbands to lovable
grandfathers and incorrigible alcoholics.
