The clip has originally been shared by a person named Judish Raj. In the caption of the video, he has revealed that the singer, whose name is Saurav Kishen, is called ‘Chota Rafi’ in the area. "This boy is Saurav Kishen from Kozhikode. He is locally known as Chota Rafi," read his tweet.

Till now, the said video has been viewed more than two lakh fifty thousand times. It comes as no surprise that the majority of the comments are the ones which include appreciation for the young man.

Some people have also shared the link of Saurav’s YouTube channel in the comments section. Take a look at some of them:

“Just found his YouTube channel. He’s been posting for years but never got attention. Hope he does now.”

“So melodious.., after reading this tweet, I searched and found this video of the boy..”

Lots of users also commented on the melodious voice of the singer. A person who lauded the singer’s talent also pointed out the bad condition of the music industry, said, “A brilliant talent but where are the composers, lyricists & cinemawallahs of that timber anymore. All songs today sound the same...and its not music to die for any longer..now it is music that kills you”.

Another person who had similar views wrote, “Wish he had born 20+ years ago...his talent would have gotten real recognition. In today’s world where music is being insulted in the name of “auto-tune” singers and rap composers, there is hardly any place for such a real and pure talent. Sonu Nigam would have love this though”.
