You need to try to debug your code. Like try to add php generated tag and try to open it in new tab.

<a href="test_upload/uploads/raj.mp4" >test link put in `raj.php` file</a>

I believe you forgot to add starting / so try this link

/test_upload/uploads/raj.mp4

Or use this link:

uploads/raj.mp4

I think in your case its just pathing.
