Recently, Rajat Maheshwari from Indore, India asked this question:
"When does Raj Kapoor introduce himself as Ranbir Raj in a movie?"
[Note: This is interesting because it is his own name in real life.]
I vaguely remembered that it was in Shree 420 (1955) and said so. Later I verified that it was correct.
Here is a page from my copy of the HFGK Volume 3 and a short clip from the film. By the way, Nargis father is Ramesh Sinha.

When the reward program was announced in 2001, not many songs or films were there on the internet. Not too many books had been written.
Now there are a ton of Rafi songs available everywhere and hundreds of books listing Hindi film songs have been written.
Therefore the 2001 reward program is ended.
I am announcing a new Rafi Reward Program.
If you believe that you have found an unknown Rafi song, send me its information, i e, film/nonfilm, co-singers, lyricists, music directors, record numbers, as much info as you have. If I find the song listed anywhere in any book, magazine, newspaper, article, thesis, internet website, I will send you the proof that it is a known song, and you get my thanks.
If I cannot find it listed anywhere, then please send me the song in a reasonable quality. I will have it examined by RMIM experts, and, if they agree that Rafi's voice is in the song, you will get my thanks and the reward. I reserve the right to put the song and the whole story on my website and on Facebook.
Rafi from Filmfare 1954.
