Rafi rendered a (Ku)marvellous qawwali

Parda Hai Parda was the longest song on the soundtrack of Amar Akbar Anthony – it was seven minutes and 59 seconds long.

While the qawwali was rendered by Mohammed Rafi (who was accompanied by a chorus), one line (“Akbar tera naam nahin hai”) was sung by Amit Kumar.

It earned Rafi and Anand Bakshi nominations in the Best Male Playback Singer and the Best Lyricist categories, respectively, at the Filmfare Awards in 1978.

The track was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, who bagged the fourth of their seven Filmfare Awards in the Best Music Director Award category.
