Ravi and Rafi’s combination will be remembered for generations
By Souvik Chatterji
Mohd Rafi with Shakeel and Ravi
Renowned music director Ravi Shankar Sharma died on 7th March, 2012, at the age of 86 years. His music had remained immortal over the years.
From the film Vachan and Albeli in 1955 he started his musical journey. In 1960, Mohammad Rafi’s soft ghazal “chaudavi ka chand” in the film Chaudavi Ka Chand made him a musical star. Guru Dutt’s picturization was as outstanding as the lyrics and the brilliant performance of Rafi. From that time it was magic been created whenever Rafi and Ravi combined together.
In 1961, Rajender Kumar’s Gharana stormed bollywood with the soft music in the songs “husnwale tera jawab nahin”, “jab se tumhe dekha hai” where Rafi’s velvety voice made the audience spellbound. Ravi and Rafi created in Rajender Kumar’s other film Pyar Ka Saagar in 1961, where the song “mujhe pyar ki zindagi denewale” made viewers spellbound.
In Shammi Kapoor’s China Town, Ravi’s music for Rafi had loud numbers like “baar baar dekho”. The magic combination did magic in Biswajeet’s film Shenai. Rafi’s song “na jhatkon zulf se pani”. Although Ravi created majority of songs for Rafi, he composed lots of successful songs for Mahendra Kapoor like “chalo ek baar phir se” in Gumrah, “neele gagan ki tale” in Humraaz, especially in the films of BR Chopra.
The sarengi that had been used by Ravi had been excellent. No other composer other than Roshanlal Nagrath had used sarengi, the way Ravi used in the film Kaajal in 1965. Rafi’s songs for Raj Kumar namely “ye zulf agar khulke” and “chulene do nazuk hotonko” had made the audience intoxicated.
Mohd Rafi with Shakeel and Ravi
All the songs of the film Do Badan in 1966 were smash hits. Rafi and Ravi were unparallel in the songs “bhari duniya me akhir dil”, “raha gardishon me hardam”, “naseeb me jisko jo”, etc., which were picturized on Manoj Kumar. Shakeel Badayani’s lyrics were meaningful and soulful.
The combination created magic in the films Ankhen, Do Kaliyan and Neel Kamal in 1968. All the songs in the film Neel Kamal were touchy including “tujkho pukare mera pyar”. It became a cult song. Rafi’s song “babul ki duyayen leti ja” had become a cult song during the marriages of daughters in India. It was also a gift of the Rafi and Ravi combination.
The magic continued in the film Ek Phool Do Mali. Rafi’s songs “o nanhe se farishte” and “aulad walon” made the viewers and listeners mesmerized. In the 70s, Ravi faded out of the industry and made a comeback with the film Nikaah. Although Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle made notable contribution in Ravi’s songs, his magic of soft romantic tunes could be given right expression by Mohammad Rafi.
The list of Rafi songs for Ravi is so long that it cannot be covered in several articles together. Even then the films and the songs should be restored. Although Ravi did not get the same honour as Shankar Jaikishan, or Naushad Ali or Roshan Lal Nagrath, his contribution in bollywood films cannot be ignored and he is one of the 10 best composers India had produced during the 50s and 60s and his combination with Mohammad Rafi had been unique.
Souvik Chatterji, the author of this article
if one takes the FILMFARE awards as a yardstick,
you will note that Rafisaab, Mahendraji, Lataji and sister Asha Bhonsle won about seven awards————the most number of awards for any composer
oneofthe most beutifully song sung by rafi and composed by ravi is Koi Mujh Se Pooche Ke Tum Mere Kya Ho. it was beauti to use flute.
although the original article did not give rafi lovers much info, yet contributions from zaheendanish and khaja aliuddin showed the range which rafi and ravi covered. special thanks to khaja ji for giving almost the full list of solos of rafi, which would be helpful to the new rafi-lovers to search for songs.
the additional info given by binuji, mehruji, haldarji and manmouji is wonderful.
bhagchandaniji raised a valid point about ravi’s contribution to asha bhonsle’s career and her silence about it. she rarely talks, if at all, about either ravi or opn. for me ravi created much better quality songs for asha as compared to opn. he used asha from his first film and had rarely did a film without her. asha and rafi were his favourite singers.
Dear Halderji,
Thanks a lot for sharing the link relating to article in Hindu.
Dear Manmouji sahab,
Thanks a lot for sharing Ravi sahab’s own interview.
Very few persons in the world have the guts to share the truth relating to struggling life. Ravisahab was one of those noble souls who could share his own struggle before the people.
At least 50 songs of Ravisahab for Rafisahab can be researched about in the context of excellent lyrics brilliant music and superlative singing. The softness that was evident in Ravi and Rafi songs like “husnwale tera jawab nahi”, “ye zulf agar khulke”, “bhari duniyame” etc., had taken the listeners to a different world, may be a world of peace, a world of eternal beauty.
Souvik Chatterji.
Always loved his music. One of my favourites alongside MM, SJ, LP.
He just had a knack of creating melodious tunes.
RIP
The excerpts from the interview of late Ravi ji one year ago, this will focus some of the things some music lovers does not know. Please read and be aware of the facts of the great MD late Ravi Ji
——————————————————————————————
I belonged to Delhi and was born and brought up there. As a child, I loved singing film songs. I would while away time flying kites and would keep failing my exams. However, I realised my true potential at the age of 11. My father belonged to the Kalki Bhagwan Mandal, where they would sing bhajans every evening. One day my father asked me to sing a song. Everyone appreciated me. The boy who sang before me felt jealous. The next day when I was asked to sing again, he played wrong notes and I couldn’t sing because I was not trained in music. Everyone laughed at me.
That day, I promised myself to become a great singer some day. I went home and told my father that I wanted to learn the harmonium. One by one I learnt all the instruments. Meanwhile, in 1943, I got a job at the cantonment as an electrician for Rs 196. It was 13 km away from my house. I would leave home at six in the morning and would come back late at night. I quit the job after a few years and started doing odd jobs here and there. I finally got married in 1946. In 1950, I decided to come to Mumbai to try my luck in films as a singer. I did not know anyone here. I had no place to live, nor any food to eat. I spent my nights at Malad station and sometimes outside shops on the streets. My father later arranged for a small place in Kalbadevi. He sent me money from home. For days, I lived on one glass of tea and one meal for 50 annas.
Many people cheated me with false promises. They would borrow money and never return it. During this time, music director Husnalal Bhagatram asked me to join his chorus group and offered to pay Rs 50. My clothes and chappals were torn. I was glad that I would earn some money, but after four rehearsals they rejected me. I pleaded with them, but nothing worked out. My father, however continued to send me Rs 40, out of the `80 that he earned. Despite my struggles, I never once gave up my dream of becoming a singer some day.
When I had left Delhi, I had also carried my electrical tools with me. So, I started taking odd jobs of repairing appliances to earn extra money. In 1951, my wife and children came to Mumbai. Then one day, I met music director Hemant Kumar, who allowed me to sing in the chorus for the Vande Mataram song in the film Anandmath (1952). With the money, I bought a house made of tin in Kandivali. There was no electricity or water there. There were eight common toilets and we had to store water from the well, which was near a bungalow in the vicinity.
Meanwhile, I continued to assist Hemant Kumar and also played the tabla for him. He was not well-versed with Urdu, so I would often help him out. From there on I never looked back. Soon, I started composing as well as writing lyrics. Slowly, I got more work. My song Chandamama Door Ke became a hit. I composed music for several films. Then Hemant Kumar told me to become an independent composer. I was dejected, I thought I would have to struggle again. But Guru Dutt gave me a chance in Chaudvin Ka Chaand. It is then that I built this house in 1962. Today, I have 200 hit songs to my credit. My life though, seems to be an endless struggle. Sometimes, your own people disappoint you.
A very good article on Ravi ji from The Hindu:
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/article3000167.ece
The new generation should be informed about the great Ravi and Rafi combination. Films like do Badan, Neel Kamal, Waqt, Chaudavi Ka Chand, all were released more than 40 years ago.
The excellent lyrics, the brilliant composition and outstanding singing of Mohammad Rafi is known only to the older generation of people. The new generation can have respect of the brilliant combination if the media highlights the works of the great combination.
Ravi and Rafi saab were the greatest combinations. When I personally asked him about Rafi saab, he was all in praise for him. He said there were several singers but not one like Rafi saab. The song from movie Do Badan, Raha Gardishome hardam was supposed to be sung by Mukesh ji but then it was Ravi saab who decided to give it Rafisaab and he says only he could deliver the way he wanted. I was really in tears when i heard these statements from him.
The musical jelling of Ravi and Rafi was simply phenomenal. Apart Naushad and Madan Mohan, Ravi was another music director who gave us some excellent ghazals. Rafi’s vocals for Ravi’s music compositions consisted of gems like ‘Jaane bahar husn tera bemisal hai…’, ‘Chaudvin kaa chand ho…’, ‘Mili khak mein mohabbat…’, ‘Yeh khamoshiyan, ye tanhaiyaan..’, ‘Jitni likhi thi mukaddar main…’, ‘Bazi kisi ne pyar ki…’ and many more (the list is pretty long).
Mahendra Kapoor sang his best songs under the baton of Ravi saab. The songs that gave Mahendra Kapoor a distinct identity were mostly by Ravi. Even Asha Bhonsle sang some brilliant songs for Ravi. Curiously I have never heard her acknowledging this.
I am reminded of an anecdote. On every Bakr-Id, Rafi saab used to send a big loaf of mutton to this music director without realizing that he was vegetarian. Ravi valued the gift of Rafi so much that he always accepted the gift and later distributed the same to his staff and musicians. Later one day when Rafi saab learnt about Ravi’s being vegetarian, he asked him why did he not tell him so. Ravi simply smiled and said ‘Ki aapne itne pyar se bheja tha… kaise manaa kar deta…’

i would like to add to the comments of sri vinod mehru that ravi ji has given very beautiful songs for every occassion.one is Rakhi dhagon ka tyohar bandha hua ek ek dhage me bhai behan ka pyar.and other one lai hai hajaron rang holi from phool aur patthar.as far as i remember the song Aaj mere yaar ki shadi hai was also tuned by ravi ji which is played by Shadi bands all over india.

The full lists of films and the classic songs given by zaheendanish and khaja aliuddin sahab are too great. Thanks Saurvaji for the wonderful article.

dear sauvik ji ,
ravi ji ek aisa sangeetkaar hai jinhone zindagi ke har avsar par geet diye hai, maine apni beti ki shaadi ke dvd mein babul ki duayeen add kiya hai aur aab meri naatin ke liye bhi ravi sahab ka chanda mama door ke sunne ko hai, har kisi ko ravi sahab kuch naa kuch dekar gaye hai,
ravi ji ke funeral par film industry ka jo attitude raha hai usne bhi hum rafi sahab /ravi sahab fans ko bahut hurt kiya hai
mein yahan par ek vishesh baat ka jikar karna chahata hoon jis tarah raza muraad ji ne funeral process mein part liya hai sabhi dhaarmik rites mein unko mein salute karta hoon.

Playing of ‘Bar Bar Dekho, Hajar Bar Dekho’ (China Town) over band is a must in every Baarat (wedding procession) even today. It is the most popular song for dancing in indian marriages but how many of the people enjoying the occasion know that the song was composed by Shri Ravi. Many more marriages will take place in India in future also, making this song immortal & making the youngs to dance to its tune. My ‘SHARDDHANJALI’ to the great composer.
Thanks for the fantastic roundup of Great personalities. Ravi saab’s musical talent in film Narsi Bhagat 1957, stirred the Godly sentiments of not only those in Gujarat but the entire country.
I only wish 100% of his songs are uploaded on You Tube.
Ravi in his illustrious career had given different types of songs namely ghazals, pure classical numbers, folk songs, western songs. Most of the songs in films like Gharana, Chaudavi Ka Chand, Waqt, Humraaz, Do Badan, had become immoral over the years.
The songs and the films will remain immortal in the minds of music lovers all across the world.

Mohd rafi + Ravi it mean mean super hit song, only thing I can say
in malayalam films, ravi (Bombay Ravi ) to keralites remain in top five composer of the times. ravi saaheb did’nt know more than three words of the language, he had told me.
tall and handsome ravi sahebs pictures with a ever smiling mohd rafi were a regular feature in screen weekly during the seventies when after a recording the crew would pose for a picture.
film gauri with nutan and sunil dutt was shot in alwaye kerala near my hometown and it had music by ravi.
singer chithra got her first national award in her first song tuned by ravi saaheb in malayalam.
i am still trying to get the malayalam songs of ravi saaheb which will be a treat. but, meanwhile there are the hindi numbers to be satisfied and get some joy.
we used to go to ravi sahebs residence without any appointment and the 86 year old will always meet us. Last time i met him at his kitchen cum dining table in the morning. no one taking mohd rafi’s name would be turned back.
on nineth march a friday again i met ravi saaheb and bowed before the ‘towering composer’ and touched his feet at santacruz shastri nagar crematorium . Its near the mosque at santacruz where another companion and hero of ravi saaheb rests. divine mohd rafi saaheb.
Ravi Ji noted for his heart-touching, soft, melodious and soulful tunes, Ravi’s songs and immortal music are hummed even today, decades after he composed them, giving them an ageless character.
