Hardly anyone would not like the songs of veteran Indian cinema singer Mohammad Rafi. He sang all kinds of songs, including many that will always be remembered. One of those songs was 'Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai'. Even today people like this song which was filmed on Dharmendra and Mumtaz.
When the era of 70 started, Kishore Kumar's name became very famous. It is said that at that time, the work available to veterans like Mukesh and Mohammad Rafi had reduced considerably. But Laxmikant-Pyarelal gave Mohammed Rafi a song on which they were confident that it would do wonders.
In 1973, the film Loafer came which was a superhit at the box office and the song 'Aaj Mausam Bada Beimaan Hai' from this film achieved great success. Even today people like this song. This song was sung very beautifully by Mohammad Rafi. According to reports, by the time of the 70s, Kishore Kumar had started becoming famous and everyone used to sign him for films. Rajesh Khanna was a star in that period and he used to get Kishore Kumar to sing most of his songs. Because of this, other music directors also declined to sign Mohammed Rafi.
But when Anand Bakshi narrated this song to Laxmikant Pyarelal, he decided to get Mohammed Rafi to sing it. He knew that no one else could sing this song except him. He called Mohammed Rafi to his studio and got it recorded directly. When this song came, it was a blast. After this song, Mohammad Rafi started being signed again and he sang songs till the last moment.
