Shikari (1963) *ing Ajit, Ragini, Helen. Voices : Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi. Lyrics: Farooq Kaiser, Music: G.S. Kohli Excellent movie with lovely songs and dances
SP Balasubramanyam in one of his interviews had said that whenever he hears Rafi sahab sing, tears start rolling down his eyes, wondering how could a human being be so good. Rafi sahab was a perfect playback singer. His voice made a lot of stars and ebhanced the careers of many of them. He was the first and last singer of the calibre of gods. A trillion pranamms Rafi sahab.
@mjdajmi i think he had a tough time competing with the other 'heroes' of this time and switched to the bad guy role. he is an awesome actor, either way
@12182004Mr You are right but partially. Urdu the language used in film songs descends from Arabic, Persian and Turkish or rather dialect spoken by descendants of these countries who used to come to settle in India over last 1000 years. In 19th century it became a literary language with flourishing of Court poetry and it is hence considered as language of love and poetry in Northern India as french in Europe. Before there was Sanskrit and other Indian languages with very rich poetry.

@Rajivesahrma777 i didnt know that! the modulations in rafi's voice seemed very reminiscent of his work with nayyar.

G.S. Kholi was assistant to OP NayYar and refelects his style. Unfortunately he did not compose much.
