Kar Chale Hum Fida from Haqeeqat (1964) (Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi)Īs a child whenever I watched this patriotic song on Doordarshan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I used to feel very sad with some of its scenes. Yet Rafi rendered his voice for a few hit songs of Shashi in the 1970s like Janu Meri Jaan for Shaan (1980).Ĥ. In the 1960s, Mohammed Rafi sang maximum songs for Shashi Kapoor, while he got replaced by Kishore Kumar in the 1970s.

The song was filmed on Shashi Kapoor and Nanda, who did a series of movies together in the 1960s. Yun Rootho Na Haseena Meri from Neend Hamari Khwab Tumhare (1966) (Lyricist: Rajendra Krishnan)
Kisi Ka Kuchh Kho Gaya Hai, picturised on Johnny Walker is yet another Rafi track from the same album.ģ. The song shot in the woods also featured actress Nutan. This lovely song is one among the best romantic solos sung by Rafi for Dharmendra, and this song is special as it’s a Madan Mohan tune. Ek Haseen Shyam Ko from Dulhan Ek Raat Ki (1967) (Lyricist: Raja Mehdi Ali Khan) Lata Mangeshkar sang a few lines only (Two lines of Mukda) only in this lengthy song.Ģ. I am not sure if this particular song is a solo or duet. The actress has appeared in a series of classic movies composed by Madan Mohan – Heer Ranjha, Haqeeqat etc, with the ghost voice of Lata Mangeshkar in song sequences. Filmed on Navin Nischol and Priya Rajvansh in a car, it’s unique to watch on screen. Rafi Saab sang it so differently from other songs experimenting with different ranges for a single track and Madanji’s composing is too amazing – one among his masterpieces, and definitely the best song of Rafi-Madan Mohan combination.īased on Bhimplasi raga, rain in the background, the song had a soft and marvellous touch. I should say Rafi’s voice stood above all. What to praise – Madan Mohan’s tune, Kaifi Azmi’s words, music arrangement, soft and sensuous voice of Rafi or those two lines sung by Lata Mangeshkar. The song is so close to my heart that while I prepared the list of ‘ Best 50 solos of Rafi’, I began that list also with this sensuous Rafi song. I would like to begin the list with one of my most favourite Bollywood tracks all time. Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho from Hanste Zakhm ( 1973) (Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi) As I am a great fan of 1960s, most of the songs belong to same decade, and has avoided many of their melodies in the 1960s.ġ. Through this column I would like to list 15 of the best Bollywood songs of Madan Mohan and Mohammed Rafi Combination. The king of ghazals, most of their combination songs belong to the same genre with melody as the main ‘ingredient’ among all tastes. Though Madan Mohan is best known for reserving his best songs for Lata Mangeshkar, among all male playback singers, Mohammed Rafi remained his first choice ever. Madan Mohan and Mohammed Rafi – the duo gave some memorable songs during 1950s-1970s. Malayalam Song Lyrics & English Translation.
