   Shammi Kapoor is recognised the first male dancing star of Indian Cinema with sizzling Rafi songs. He is also called the Rebel Star of Indian Cinema. “Mohd Rafi-Shammi Kapoor” is one of the best singer-actor combination of Indian Cinema. Rafi saheb was the true voice of Shammi Kapoor from Jeevan Jyoti (1954) to Andaz (1971). Golden voice Rafi Saheb is the main factor for his “Yahoo image” his full carrer owed to rafi saheb. The actor recognised Rafi Saheb saying, “Without Mohammed Rafi, Shammi Kapoor is incomplete”.

   Present actor Amir Khan is a great fan of Shammi Kapoor and he used to release his all film’s music by Shammi Kapoor.

   With best regards

   Some People used to see Shammi Kapoor films to hear songs of Rafi
   saab.When the film start it is sure that there will be Rafi Saab’s song
   in that film.it gives some sort of happiness which we will not get from
   any other type of art.

    शम्मी कपूर जी को इस सम्मान के लिए हार्दिक बधाई । शम्मी कपूर ही एक मात्र ऐसे सुपरस्टार है जिन्होंने फिल्मी दुनिया को ब्लैक से कलर किया । पहले हीरो खड़े-खड़े ही पूरा गाना खत्म कर दिया करते थे । किंतु शम्मी कपूर ने इस परिपाटी को तोड़ते हुए अपनी रोमांटिक एवं उछल-कूद वाली एक्टिंग से सारा ट्रेंड ही चेंज कर दिया । इसके बाद दिलीप कुमार, देव आनंद और राज कपूर भी शम्मी कपूर से प्रभावित होकर नाचने-कूदने लगे । शम्मी कपूर की फिल्मों के गीत 1960 दशक के सबसे सुनहरे दौर के गीत थे । जो आने वाले पचास साल बाद भी मन को लुभाते रहेंगे । शम्मी कपूर के कारण ही रफी साहब की गायकी की रेंज बढ़ी और उन्होंने उनके लिए सैकड़ों सदाबहार गीत गाए जिनके अनेक रीमिक्स भी बन चुके हैं । मैं शम्मी जी के सुखद, स्वस्थ जीवन की सादर कामना करता हूँ । मैं उनका बेहद फैन हूँ । जीवन में यदि मौका मिला तो एक बार उनके चरण छूना चाहूँगा ।

    It is great to see Shammi Kapoor on Rafi Sb’s songs. Rafi Sb gave his beautiful voice to Shammi Kapoor which also made Shammi Kapoor and Rafi Sb. combination immortal.

    Rafi saa & Shammi Kapoor combination is the combination of the mellinium, which cannot be revised with any other Actor & Singer. Many of Sammiji’s film used to get hit due to Rafi saab’s great voice. I think that our film indutry will never get such a great play back singer in future.

    The Rafi sb-shammi kapoor is the best combination of actor/play back singer model.
    Sorry to hear that Mr.Shammi Kapoor is sick now alongwith his brother Shashi Kapoor. Why they cannot maintain their health. Trust the other kapoors like Rishi, Randhir, Ranbir will learn from their uncles and keep themselves healthy.
