Malegaon: A film on the life of legendary Bollywood singer Mohammad Rafi will be screened in the Capital tomorrow on the eve of his birth anniversary.

 

''Tum Yaad Aaye'', the documentary produced by the Films Division, will be screened at the Films Division Auditorium.

 

A seminar on the songs and different aspects of the singer's life will also be organised on the occasion in which the wife of yesteryears' filmmaker Husnalal, Nirmala Husnalal, former Director of Doordarshan Sharad Dutt, music expert Mukesh Garg, singer Priyamvada Vashisht and several music and film experts will participate.

 

The film, directed by the chief filmmaker in the Films Division Kuldip Sinha, was also screened at last month's International Film Festival of India in Goa.

 

A book on the life of yesteryears' Bollywood beauty and Rafi's contemporary Madhubala will also be released on the occasion.

 

Mohd Rafi the well known Indian singer changed the trend after he began singing in the local film industry. He was a master in singing in a voice matching the character in the films. He was instrumental in converting many 'no-bodys' into 'bollywood heroes'.

 

Mohd. Rafi sang for almost every actor in the film industry during his time. He has the distinction of singing even for Kishore Kumar - an actor-singing himself who was known for his typical acting and songs.

 

Regarded as melody king, Mohd. Rafi's songs specially those sang for heroes like Dileep Kumar, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and other bollywood superstars are hit even today.

 

Mohd Rafi even recorded few songs in Marathi. The first song sang by him in Marathi was by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray's father.

 

Interestingly, since Mohd Rafi was not converse with the Marathi script, Raj Thackeray's father who incidentally was knowing Urdu, wrote the Marathi song using Urdu script for Mohd. Rafi. The song is a hit even today.
