It is that phase of the life of the playback singer, born in a poor family in Amritsar, which will be the focus of a docu-film being made by the Films Division, the premier documentary producer of the country, this year.
To commemorate the diamond jubilee of the organisation, Films Division has started making a film on the legendary singer that would give a comprehensive view of Rafi's life, struggle and accomplishments.
'The film will project Rafi's early days, his penchant for singing, struggle in Lahore and then in Bombay and his ascent to fame,' its chief producer Kuldeep Sinha told PTI.
The film will be of 40 to 50 minutes duration and will be directed by Sinha himself.
'It will be unique work in the sense that we will highlight the troubles and difficulties that came in the making of Rafi. We will also show his major works,' he said.
Rafi, born at Kotla Sultanpur in unidivided Punjab in 1924, had started singing by imitating chants of a 'fakir' at his village. His family later shifted to Lahore, where Rafi learnt Hindustani classical music.

All the best to Kuldeep Sinha for the documentary project. It's high time someone re-looked into the trials and tribulations of the Legendary Mohammed Rafi Sahaab as also his ascent to continued fame.
I only hope that the Rafi Sahaab's numbers of FIFTIES: Baiju Bawra, Deedar, Basant Bahaar, Uran Khatola, Dhool Ka Phool among others are included; and his SIXTIES numbers in Chaudhvin Ka Chaand, Arti, Junglee, Sasural, Dosti, Sangam, Teesri Manzil, Chitralekha, are included; and for the SEVENTIES, the numbers in Khilona, Laila Majnu, Loafer, Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin, Amar Akbar Anthony, Dharamveer,among others are included there; and lastly for the EIGHTIES the Rafi Sahaab's numbers in Sargam, Karz, Dostana, Aas Paas, Hum Paanch among other movies are surely included.
included.
