Mohammed Rafi : The Incomparable (II) – Song No. 11
———————————————————-
Songs of religious fervor are an integral part of hindi films. This was more prevalent upto 80’s, than I think the trend went downhill. In recent decades this type of songs have made a return in the mainstream film with spectacular bhajans and philosophical/religious flavor.
In Mohammed Rafi Sahab total output of around 5000 songs, I can guess this genre of bhajan/religious/philosophical/naats/qawwali’s accounts for 7-8 % . This is my conservative guess work, this might well turn out to be 10%.

Today’s date, 14th March, is an anniversary of another sort, very intimately related with Hindi films and Hindi film songs. Today is the 82nd anniversary of the birth of the Hindi film song. It was this day, that the first talkie film of the Hindi screen was exhibited for the first time. The film is ‘Aalam Ara’, and the first public exhibition of this film occurred on 14th March, 1931, at a theatre named Majestic in Bombay. With the release of this film, the silent moving pictures acquired a voice, the story acquired the spoken word, and the medium changed forever with the infusion of the most significant element in the repertoire of Hindi cinema – music and songs.
