His collaboration with composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal started early. The songs in Kohli's Nagin (1976) resonate with music lovers to this day especially Lataji's Tere sang pyar main nahin todna, the song which introduced Reena Roy's snake-woman persona on screen and catapulted her to instant stardom.

"No one knew at that time that the film and its songs would become so popular. I went on to do several other films with Kohli saab, including the other superhit Jaani Dushman (1979). But nothing in his career, or mine could equal the craze of Nagin," says Reena Roy.

Lutera featured a slew of scintillating songs sung by Lataji: Sanam raah bhoole yahan aate aate, Neend nigahon se kho jaati hai, Kissiko pataa na chale baat ka, Raat se kaho ruke zara... each a delectable piece of life.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the music of Kohli's cinema went much further than the cinema itself; although if we are talking purely box office then Kohli's success ratio was no sneezing matter.

Recalled Kamal, "Sarika and I met on the sets of a Hindi film, Raj Kumar Kohli's Raj Tilak. We both used to be on the sets promptly every morning at 7.30 a.m. You know we had a clear 3-4 hours every day together, because shooting never began before 11 am. We had all the time in the world to talk and become close friends. So I guess I have a lot to be thankful to Mr Raj Kumar Kohli for."
