This S(h)ol(a)(o) waS(habn)among Rafi’s best

This blog contains a post on just one song from Shola Aur Shabnam (1961).

The track in question was Jaane Kya Dhoondhti Rehti, which was three hours and 35 seconds long.

Khayyam, who composed the song, and Dharmendra, on whom the song was picturised, opined that it was the best song rendered by Mohammed Rafi, who was running a 102-degree fever when it was being recorded, but went ahead with it, because he didn’t want the producer to incur a loss.

In fact, it was among Khayyam’s finest compositions too.

Kaifi Azmi penned the song.
