Sonu Nigam sings O Duniya Ke Rakhwale & Yeh Ishq Hai at Explosion 2009

This was recorded at the Explosion 2009 concert in Atlantic City, NJ. It is shakey at some parts. In this video Sonu is singing a Rafi song by the name of O Duniya Ke Rakhwale from the 1952 movie Baiju Bawra. The video ends with him singing Yeh Ishq Hai from Jab We Met.

All you negative people who are hating on Sonu Nigam are completely wrong. There will only be one Rafi, just like there will only be one Michael Jordan, no one will ever be better than him. There are many players who look up to him and try to imitate Jordan, but none will ever come close, the closest would be Kobe Bryant. In the same way there will never be another Rafi, but Sonu looks up to him.

Jordan = Rafi as Sonu = Kobe

@watsgood2000 Love your analogy!

It is great to see people appreciate the talent of Sonu Nigam.

Just heard this after listening to the Rafi version of the same song on stage in Bradford.

Sonu is a great singer of the era, probably the best and no he is not trying to cash-in on Rafi, it is clear he is merely taking inspiration from him and more than anyone else he himself knows that he can not match Rafi sahb.

Still he did sing it well for today's generation. Consider this, none of the greats in Rafi's time could do it.

bhagwan ke paas jao sonu tum bhi

great song,,,,few may know but rafi saab actually spitted blood in the recording room on his first take when he had to repeat the rakhwale at 4th level of note

@watsgood2000, did you just copy my saying. LOL. I say the same thing

[Ali007Ghouri]

kamal hai yar great singing to attempt dis song live is really hard and sonu did it well

[redress007]

all of u who r commenting on SONU..plz hear dis song sung by SONU in his album KAL AAJ AUR KAL RAFI...den compare it wid the original..u will definitely lyk SONU'S version..it has more variations..here he's in a concert..he seems tired..having performed for hours..i bet no singer can sing this song at the same tiring and exhausted situation..no singer can match wid SONU'S stamina..not even the great Mohd. Rafi..

[panthanikos]

an absolute time waster for those who want to listen to classical,nothing more than bull shit! ruining the origional song, why dont these kiddish singers pick something of there own size......

[usmanbaig664]

Sonu skip some lines.. it is more difficult to sing continuously.. Which can only be sung by all time great singer Muhammad Rafi!!

[privatezib]

who is this karaoke singer? & more importantly who is this desecrating the memory of al-haj Mohd rafi? awful rendition!

[firoz2002q8]

thanks sonu for keep rafi sahab remember....you deserve to be his sheeshy...

[renjukaruvachalil]

Great Song forever.
