The Indian High Commission also organised an event for the legend with local artists singing songs from his films including those translated into the local Sinhala language. Ravi, who started his career in 1950 with Waqt and went on to compose for 200 movies, first hit headlines for Guru Dutt’s Chaudhavi....“I composed the tune of Chaudhvi... in five minutes? But Dutt sahib made me play another tune, that of the song Mili khaakh mein Mohabbat 300 times,” said Ravi.</blockquote>
