oh my God. wow... was looking for this song. Hats off to you for
having this collection and uploade it. Thanks for sharing.

ahsanqasimindia on Thursday, August 05, 2010
verry nice chenhh

Aditya Rao on Tuesday, November 23, 2010
this song was offered to Kishore Kumar but after repeated rehearsals..he
couldnt sing this song.so Rafi sahab was called to sing this song for
Kishore.

xfmaverickd on Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Now I've seen it all :D... One legendary singer becoming the on-screen voice of another legendar singer! Both Rafi sahab & Kishoreda were great in their own ways...Both of them entertained millions of fans in their day & still continue to do so posthumously. Comparisons between the two are unfair & unnecessary!

russel ahmed on Sunday, June 26, 2011
@raoadi1014 : This semi clasical stuff was not something that was possible
for kishore. It is unfortunate that todays generation equate kishore,
mukesh and others with Rafi saab. In reality in those days there was no
comparision with rafi sab. Kishore may be a good entertainer but when it
comes to singing, Rafi sab is far ahead of others.

akankshadevi on Friday, July 01, 2011
seems kk is himself singing, amazed to read it was rafi singing for KK, his voice so suits kishore, wah Rafiji Wah, you are genius indeed,
heroine is beautiful

kiranlodha on Saturday, July 09, 2011
PLEASE DON'T COMPARE KISHORE AND RAFI,THEY BOTH ARE SIMPLY GREAT IN DIFFERENT STYLES.

Pretidev on Sunday, August 14, 2011
Saying Kishore Da could not sing this song is very unfair as we all know
that Kishore was a top versatile singer who could sing any type of song.
The fact is that in those days Ashok Kumar had made Kishore Kumar so busy
with acting that he had no time for singing and recording these songs.
Moreover, Ashok Kumar wanted Kishore Kumar to be an actor and not a singer.
So, naturally Rafi was the only one left to sing for Kishore who was caught
up with acting and pleasing his elder brother Ashok.

Pretidev on Sunday, August 14, 2011
However, this does not discredit either Kishore or Rafi as we should see &
understand that both did a great job (acting and singing together) for
entertaining us. Rafi was singing only; he was not acting. Otherwise, who
knows Kishore would have been seen singing for Rafi. So, there is really no
point in telling that Kishore could not sing this song or that song. Both
Kishore & Rafi could sing and one who can sing can repeat a song until the
latter is fit for public performance.

Pretidev on Sunday, August 14, 2011
Kishore acting & Rafi singing - please see it as a great example of
understanding and friendship between these two great men. Have you heard
Kishore singing in dedication to Rafi whom he calls his brother after the
latter's death? Please check video "Kishore kumar giving tribute to mohd
rafi sahab". That is a great example of friendship between great men
understanding each other. So, let's love & respect both Rafi Sahab and
Kishore Da for their greatness & the unique treasures they left for us.

Pretidev on Sunday, August 14, 2011
Rafi is singing and Kishore is "singing" it on the screen as if it's his
own voice. This can be done only by a great artist - singer and actor -
Kishore Kumar who, I am sure, never thought at this moment or later, who is
greater - he or Rafi. It was just a blend and flow of artistic dedication,
performance and energy in order to give us the final sublime 'fruit' in the
film so that we could enjoy watching and listening to the manifestations of
extreme bliss of human artistic achievements.

Pretidev on Sunday, August 14, 2011
My grand salute to both Rafi Sahab and Kishore Da!

Bharat Chokshi on Sunday, October 30, 2011
excellent classic

Nasreen Quadri on Tuesday, November 29, 2011
I agree with Mr Pretidev in all his comments on Kishore da and Rafi saab.
They both are superb and a blessing to male playback singing of the Film
Industry.

1705vikram on Friday, January 13, 2012
The composer is the best judge of his compositions. In this case he thought Rafi shab would do the job, so he chose him. Kishore da never grudged this. He has enacted the song very well, himself being a great singer. Yes, Rafi sahab had this ability that he could sing any type of song and did full justice to all genres. Hats off to both of them! We miss them.

Naseem Joseph on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Thats enough for who is good; they both are great in their own way. By the
way any one knows what RAAG this is?

Mani Menon on Sunday, May 20, 2012
Poor Kishore Kumar! Classical music was his Achilles heel! So, we have Rafi
singing for him..

diehardrafisaabfan on Monday, June 04, 2012
KK too busy to sing his own songs is bit of an excuse by his fans. He
simply couldn't sing at the level Rafi Saab could. That's why Lata
preferred singing with Mukesh, KK & Mahendra as she knew she was better.
That's why she made an issue about royalties - she knew Rafi Saab was
better - her big loss! Ek Rafi Saab - Ek aawaz!

amit sharma on Friday, July 27, 2012
true said bhai ...
hats off 4 ur wordings..!!
love you rafi saab

russel ahmed on Wednesday, August 01, 2012
Thanks brother, its sad that these days people compare Rafi sahab with
others. Rafi sahab is the parameter by which other singers should be
measured.

Naseem Joseph on Thursday, August 16, 2012
@Strong2810, thanx bro. for your comments. I dont thnk this Raag Talung.
This is more close to Asavri Thhat, most probably darbari or jaunpuri.
Every singer is best in his own style but Rafi was the best choice for this
composition, in my opinion.

Naseem Joseph on Thursday, August 16, 2012
I think The composer is the best judge for is composition, he keeps a
spcific voice, singer and style in view when he composes the melody. In
this case Mohd. Rafi was the best choice for this semi-classical ang.

Premsunder Das on Saturday, December 01, 2012
comparisons should not be made between two legends.Rafi cannot yoodle like
kishore nor sing comic songs like him. Besides after Aradhana kishore had
overshadowed every singer including Lata. Further cassettes sales of
kishore outnumber every other Indian playback singer even upto today, many
years after his death. All are equally great.

russel ahmed on Monday, December 03, 2012
Firstly , its a myth that rafi cannot yoodle, he sis it before kishor.
Secondly , a donkey can bray , where as a lion cannot so can we say that
donkey is superior to lion??

MrPlutity on Monday, February 11, 2013
Exactly. Just the same way the parameter to measure Rafi Sahab would be his
Ustaad[s], this is how Rafi Sahab was to his contemporary singers!

Premsunder Das on Saturday, May 04, 2013
I am not a bengali.Calling a singer who won 7 filmfare awards a one trick
pony is wrong. Besides kishore was an inimitable comedian and a soulful
music composer. You love Rafi . I also love Rafi but Kishore more. Each to
himself.

Sam Sharma on Sunday, June 02, 2013
Rafi is better than kishore by light years. End of story

diehardrafisaabfan on Monday, June 03, 2013
I've watched this video a few times now & I have to admit that it is sung
brilliantly by KK! Must make an audiometry & optician appointment !!

lumpatdumpat22ld on Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Sham sharma kishore da ko nicha mat aak kutte.sale

lumpatdumpat22ld on Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Mohammad rafi is great but kishore da was superb

Narayan Shrinivas on Thursday, October 03, 2013
Very nice song. Can you please upload Ragini 1958 full movie?

AppaRao Venkata Vinjamuri on Friday, December 27, 2013
The composer is the best judge of his compositions. In this case he thought
Rafi shab would do the job, so he chose him. Kishore da never grudged this.

aa aa
mann mora baanvara
nis din gaaye, geet milan ke
mann mora baanvara

aashaaon ke deep jalaake
baithi kabse aankh lagaake -
aaya pritam pyaara 

Indrajeet Mukhopadhyay on Thursday, April 10, 2014
I guess Kishore Kumar couldn't sing this semi classical as elegantly as the
great Rafi Sahab sang it. Just listen to the voice of Rafi Sahab simply
like an angel. KK's voice was not as good as Rafi Sahab's.Therefore, there
was the valid reason for the music director to choose Rafi Sahab to sing
this song.Just for a change imagine KK sing this song.. Well,it would have
sounded as ridiculous as the comments like KK was so busy in acting that he
had no enough time to sing this song. 

rodboy rodboy on Saturday, June 07, 2014
rafi sounds 1000 times better than kishore kumar in "MAN RE TU KAHE NA
DHEER DHARE"

sandeep patil on Monday, February 23, 2015
man mora bawra.
what a beautiful song...

iub4767 on Saturday, April 04, 2015
I like acting of kishoreda but as all ppl music directors say he had
limitations in singing a number of serious high pitch romamtic qawali
classical songs. But he did good job of yodley easy going rough songs

Jamshed Iqbal on Thursday, June 11, 2015
Kishor ye song nahi ga sakte the, kyonki is tarah ka classical song unhone
apne achhe dino me bhi kabhi nahi gaya. He was a great singer but Rafi
sahab is the Greatest.

Basanagouda Patil on Tuesday, October 13, 2015
This song declared what's the Rafi the great, ,Composer decided that
Kishore cannot sing this song,he restricted for his limitations,"man mora
bawara",u cant imagine in Kishore voice, That's the greatness of Rafi.

Sam Sharma on Friday, October 23, 2015
Obviously kishore couldn't sing this song. Kishore is the greatest
entertainer , but Rafi is the greatest singer ever!

DMK kh on Sunday, November 15, 2015
can someone tell me the raga if they are not busy in comparing
