Third part after ‘The Best Raaga Based Songs In Hindi Movies – Raaga Bhairavi – Part I’ that I gave you last month and ‘The Best Raaga Based Songs In Hindi Movies – Raaga Bhairavi – Part II’ that I gave you yesterday. As I mentioned, I am certainly running behind time since on my Facebook page Lyrical, I am already on the eighth Raaga: Raag Kirwani.
I run a Facebook page called Lyrical wherein I often give theme based songs. The current theme, since 12th Aug 15, is The Best Raaga Based Songs In Hindi Movies.
The word Raga or Raaga actually means colour or hue but is associated with melody in Indian classical music. A raga uses a series of four or more musical notes upon which a melody is constructed. However, the way the notes are approached and rendered in musical phrases and the mood they convey are more important in defining a raaga than the notes themselves. In the Indian musical tradition, rāgas are associated with different times of the day, or with seasons. Indian classical music is always set in a rāga. Non-classical music such as popular Indian film songs and ghazals sometimes use rāgas in their compositions.
I am going to take Raagas at random and associate them with time of the day and with Hindi songs.
We start with Raag Bhairavi. It is a Hindustani music raaga of Bhairavi Thaat. A thaat is a mode in northern Indian or Hindustani music. Thaats always have seven different pitches (called swara) and are a basis for the organization and classification of raagas in North Indian classical music.
In Part – I and Part – II of this blog, we took up twenty – four music directors whose songs composed in Raag Bhairavi we have listened to so far under these series:
1. Shankar Jaikishen
2. Naushad Ali
3. SD Burman
4. OP Nayyar
5. Roshan
6. RD Burman
7. Ravi
8. Kalyanji Anandji
9. Vasant Desai
10. Anil Biswas
11. RC Boral and
12. Pankaj Mullick.
13. Chitragupta
14. Jaidev
15. Hemant Kumar.
16. Khaiyyam
17. Madan Mohan
18. C Ramchandra
19. Ashok Patki and Louis Banks
20. AR Rehman
21. N Dutta
22. Salil Choudhary
23. Laxmikant Pyarelal
24. SN Tripathi
Lets now start with the third and final part. Actually there are hundreds of songs composed in this most popular Raaga. However, since I have decided to give you only the best, I have restricted the number to three dozens only.
Song #25 Saanvre saanvre….
Eight days, 24 songs, and all 24 songs from different music directors. And yet, we haven’t exhausted all the music directors.
Now, I bring you a song composed by Pandit Ravi Shankar for the 1960 movie Anuradha starring Leela Naidu in the title role, together with Balraj Sahni.
Shailendra penned the lyrics and Lata Mangeshkar lent her voice to it. This is the first time in the movie that Anuradha Rai sings on the radio together with the credits.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Saanvre saanvre….

Song #26 Kisi nazar ko tera intezzaar aaj bhi hai…
Okay, then, the last of the music directors composing in Raag Bhairavi and this time it is Bappi Lahiri. What taste does Lyrical have to be choosing Bappi Lahiri, you are bound to ask! However, wait a minute; this one is good, really good.
It is from the 1985 movie Aitbaar starring Dimple Kapadia, Raj Babbar and Suresh Oberoi. It is a ghazal by Hasan Kamaal sung as duet between Bhupinder and Asha Bhosle singing for Suresh Oberoi and Dimple as former lovers even when her husband Raj Babbar looks on through the window.
Please enjoy: Kisi nazar ko tera intezzaar aaj bhi hai…

Song #27 Teri nigaahon pe mar mar gaye ham…
As soon as you start playing this song, you will say that it is nice to be following Lyrical because some songs are just there in the layers of your mind and in Lyrical I bring them up and make you feel great for having remembered these all these years.
This is one of those songs. Our 26th music director composing in Raag Bhairavi: Usha Khanna. The name of this 1964 movie is Shabnam. Lyricist is Javed Anwar, singer is Mukesh and the song is picturised on Mehmood and Vijaylaxmi.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Teri nigaahon pe mar mar gaye ham….

Song #28 Tera jaana dil ke armaano ka lut jaana…..
Now that I have given you 27 different songs by 27 different composers, I am going to reserve the last ten songs for their popularity, uniqueness and remarkable music or lyrics or singing quality.
The first one is from Raj Kapoor’s 1959 movie Anaadi starring Nutan opposite him. As is always the case in Raj Kapoor’s movies until Jaikishan died, lyrics are by Shailendra and the music is by Shankar Jaikishan. Lata Mangeshkar sang for Nutan. It starts with her playing on the piano and his leaving her house after she has been forced by her foster father to say no to him.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi one of my favourite S-J numbers: Tera jaana, dil ke armaano ka lut jaana….
( tera jaanaa

Song #29 Barsaat mein humse mile tum sajan….
In the last nine days we regaled ourselves with best of the songs composed in Raag Bhairavi by 27 different music directors ranging from Shankar Jaikishen to Bappi Lahiri. You would agree with me that it has been quite a feast.
It is not intended by me to give similar durations to all the other Raagas. Raag Bhairavi was important to us since it is the most widely used Raaga in songs composed in Hindi movies on Raagas.
I am going to take the last three days in giving you nine more songs composed in this Raaga since I feel that these need to be included in the Best.
The first one depicts, once again, Shankar Jaikishen‘s mastery over this Raaga which was so favourite with them that firstly, they composed the title song of their first movie in this Raaga and secondly, when a daughter was born to Jaikishen, he named her Bhairavi!
Please enjoy this super-hit song composed in Raag Bhairavi by Shankar Jaikishen in their debut movie, the 1949 movie Barsaat, on the lyrics of Shailendra and sung by Lata Mangeshkar, the first movie in which her name appeared in the credits: Barsaat mein hum se mile tum sajan, tum se mile hum barsaat mein….

Song #30 Ramaiyya vastavaiyya….
Again on Shankar Jaikishen, with their favourite Raag. If I don’t put it in the best, I would be doing great injustice.
Ram or Ramaiyya, I knew you’d come; that’s what Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya is translated into in this outstanding song from Raj Kapoor’s 1955 movie Shree 420, in which his characterisation has drawn heavily from Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp.
A stage comes in the life of Ranbir Raj (Raj Kapoor) when he has to choose the life of Vidya (Nargis) or the life of Maya (Nadira) and with this song he chooses the former.
Please enjoy Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh sing in Raag Bhairavi on the lyrics of Shailendra: Ramaiyya vastavaiyya….

Song #31 Sab kuchh seekha hamane naa seekhi hoshiyari….
Finally, another gem in Raag Bhairavi by Shankar Jaikishen: my Facebook profile song from Raj Kapoor’s 1959 movie Anaadi that he did with Nutan.
Once again Mukesh has lent his voice to Raj Kapoor on the lyrics of Shailendra and music of Shankar Jaikishen.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Sab kuchh seekha hamane naa seekhi hoshiyari….

Song #32 Tumhi ho mata pita tumhi ho…
I just noticed that I didn’t give you a single bahajan composed in Raag Bhairavi. Well, here too, I am going to give you my most favourite, composed by Chitragupta for the 1962 movie Main Chup Rahungi. Lata Mangeshkar has sung this. The lyrics have been penned by Rajinder Krishan.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Tumhi ho mata pita tumhin ho…

Song #33 Jyot se jyot jalaate jalo…
Another favourite Bhajan of mine has also been composed in this Raag and this time by Laxmikant Pyarelal. I have taken it from the 1964 movie Sant Gyaneshwar. It has Bharat Vyas‘s lyrics and has been sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Jyot se jyot jagaate chalo….

Song #34 Jaise Radha ne mala japi Shyam ki…
This is not a bhajan but is a favourite of mine from the 1971 movie Tere Mere Sapne.
This piece of melodious music is composed based on Raag Bhairavi (Tal Hinch), by S D Burman, its poetic lyrics created by Gopal Das Neeraj and it is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Together, they create a magic that makes you belong to a different world. It is Raag Bhairavi at its innovative and artistic best. It is also a number that depicts the transforming nature of Bollywood music in early seventies, a trend that was carried further by R D Burman and subsequently, many other masters.
Please enjoy in Raag Bhairavi: Jaise Radha ne mala japi Shyam ki….

Song #35 Pagri sambhal jatta…
I am so happy that so far you have liked my choice of songs composed in Raag Bhairavi.
Guess what? In the list of 27 different music directors whose compositions in Raag Bhairavi I shared with you, I omitted a really important one: Prem Dhawan!
Let me remedy that straight way. I admit that possibly my bias against Manoj Kumar kept me from putting this up. But, the song from 1965 movie Shaheed, wherein Manoj Kumar acted as Bhagat Singh is a great one.
Prem Dhawan penned the lyrics and composed the music and Mohammad Rafi sang it.

Song #36 Phul gaindwa na maaro….
My choice of Best songs composed in Raag Bhairavi has to have this song composed by Roshan. Earlier I have given you Laaga chunari mein daag. This one is equally good.
This is from the 1964 movie Dooj Ka Chand. Lyrics are by Sahir Ludhianvi and the singer, once again, is Manna Dey.

Song #37 Dil aaj shayar hai gham aaj naghma hai…
I have a long list still not shared with you of lovely songs composed in Raag Bhairavi but I am going to conclude with this by SD Burman. It is a different sort of song and a personal favourite.
It is from the 1971 Dev Anand movie Gambler. Neeraj penned the lyrics and Kishore Kumar sang it.
I simply love this composition and the lyrics.
Please enjoy: Dil aaj shayar hai gham aaj nagma hai….
