  • Aditya - phenomenal voice! Shankar awesome track!

  • God he is GOOD!

  • OMG! Amazing... I think it just about beats A.R Rahmans original. Magical!

  • It's an old bandish traditionally sung in raga Bihag and best performance so far has been that of Pandit Jasraj. Here, the raga and words have changed.

  • POWERHOUSE..............1000KW !!!!!!

  • HOW IS HE SO GOOD?! D:

  • Rightly said... Coke Studio material !!

  • Seriously can't stop pressing the replay button! I'm so proud of seeing people born and brought up in the US making such amazing fusion music. Please never stop pursuing your passion!

  • Wicked man!! This is called music! And this is called Singing! Hats off dude!

  • Its nice but Hindi accent is not that accurate, listen the original track from the movie, you will see the pronunciation and pauses are not the same. His Jees are too stretched and word with out pauses......

  • @ArtHafez I don't think they're trying to replicate it here. I think the point here is self-styling. Also, understand that Aditya is a South Indian who was brought up in the U.S.A.

  • @ArtHafez

    may be you should sing and let us listen to you, since your accent is good we will be a judge....

    First have you tried to sing in studio before you pass comments on others? These guys and girls are only trying out new so there is room to grow .....

  • His vocals are anglicized. Somehow the song sounds good with that anglicization. <3

  • @eragonmerlin What does that mean?

  • marry me aditya, please.

  • What a vocal.. music... awesome.!!

  • dhum dhum tana dhum dhum tana dhum dhum tana tanananana :)

  • Add Aditya's name to legendary classical names like Yesudas and Unnikrishnan.

  • Wonderful, very moving, great composition and rendition

  • Really Amazing

  • Just Superb... No words to explain... listening for 100th time i guess.... toooo good....... Kudos Aditya

  • Shankar is not only a fantastic musician..it does seem like he is also a very good sound recordist/engineer.

  • my day is incomplete without this song!

  • Well done.

  • OMG I am in love with Aditya's voice!!!

  • COKE STUDIO NEEDS YOU SHANKAR...ADAB FROM PAKISTAN

  • eargasm! this is amazing!!

  • Shankar, you are the reason music heals.

    Aaditya, you have a gift. That of the ability of making people smile, cry.

    Fantastic

  • OMG, this is so good, I'm gonna cry.

  • @pramodsub I cried! :')

  • This was an already astonishing song which always gave me goose bumps. To have taken it to this level with the Mridgangam and such classy clarinet interludes is really wondrous. Bravo!

  • Awesome!!!!

  • marry me Shankar <3 <3

  • Beautiful song. With all due respect to the singer, would have loved this song more if he didnt have the english accent.

  • @STOVE311987 I feel, to have executed this song with such perfection even after the English accent has taken it to a new level.

  • WOW I just got goosebumps!!!! Seriously great vocals + Music mannnn I think I'm gonna be watchin this song for a whileeee <3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Glorious voice

  • O.o nice voice . . . =D

  • love the way he pronounced his Js in the "Uljhi" :)

  • @CoverHaven Yeah, his American accent taking over there, lol. Still good though.

  • @Dzongka really good. He inspires me!

  • Wowww.. Awesome!! love it sooooo muchhhh <3

  • 32 dislike's? are u fucking kidding me?

  • he looks too young for such a deep, composed voice! absolutely love this!!

  • Music videos which should get super popularity remain hidden amongst millions of videos and songs like "Kolaveri Di" become national anthems for people....

  • I am captured by this. Absolutely love it! Watched it a million times!

  • the male singer has such a deep calming voice .. love it soooo muchhhhh ! ! ! ! !

  • THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!

  • Why the hell this man Shankar Tucker not heading MTV Coke Studio...

  • @agamdilawari Toataaly agree. ..

  • @agamdilawari bcoz..lewis bhaiya will nt accepted smebdy more talented than him

  • @agamdilawari MTV sucks. It ruins everything genuine and cultured wherever it lands.

  • @agamdilawari exactly lol this is the closest they can get to rohail hayatt

  • Hey Man!! I think your voice is amazing, you should give more songs with Shankar Tucker in the Jazz-Indian Classical Genre... Just a suggestion... You guys are amazing, I am stuck on Shankar Tucker channel on YouTube since last week...

  • Just wondering what the hell was I doing in youtube since Sptember 2011......My jaw just hit the floor !! Speechless !!

  • thanks sooooo much for this heavenly interpretation. Listening about 30 times I m in Heaven now...

    ciao and see you soon in switzerland ? chandrakant

  • awesome...hats off

  • awesome.....too good

  • Madam noor jihan (Pakistani legendary singer) sung it in a different tone and tempo all together and the original is very beautiful song. I guess that is the reason he chose this song but I must say he killed it. Kudoz!!! Madam must have been proud if she had heard it.

  • what language is this

  • AWESOME!!!

  • Superbly sang n composed as well... !! hatts off!!

  • pure awesomeness a zillion time better than the one that was in the movie awesome Tucker and Adi boy

  • amazing vocals jus need some work on uccharan...n d instruments...omg!!! as expected by mr.tucker... :')

  • Hats off to AR Rahman for producing such an awesome bhajan!

  • Wow ... :). I think the last few seconds however had a little bit too much going on. But please don't get me wrong, this is a brilliant production.

  • Wow, epic mate!! Did you go for training?

  • People want Aditya to imitate some other's voice but that is not originality, he has his own style which is his identity as singer.

  • amazingggggggggggggggggggg

  • excelllleeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnn­nnttttttttttttt

    

  • fuck ! bhai !..... vocals controlled to the optimum ... respect ... 1

  • The original singer is Vijay Prakash. He's mind blowing too. Watch him sing 'Om Sivoham' in a concert with all the 'alap'.

  • You're so talented Aditya! (it doesn't hurt that you're also very easy on the eyes)

  • WOW to the vocals..... WOW.....

  • 28 people are deaf i think so...

  • Amazing...

  • A.R.Rahman and Shankar Tucker should do a song together.

  • Superb. 

  • It Should be

    0 Dislikes!

  • got some serious control on the vocals, respect !

  • i saw the movie a few days back.. and when i heard the original track, i was like.. AR Rahman should have used this version instead - much cooler!

  • @madhavir108 : I too like this version. Thats doesn't mean, ARR would have choose this. ARR creates and present in his own way which may not be compared to recreations - as real soul of the song is only in original track. Of cause ARR is the Master...

    Thanks to Shankar Tucker for recreating those songs with a lovely presentation. We are waiting for more from you and your team.

  • @krbalaji2008 Oh don't get me wrong, I LOVE ARR! However, such a beautiful song I felt wasn't utilized properly in the movie.. like I had seen the movie before I heard this version and I actually didn't even remember that track. If he used a more powerful voice than I think that track would have popped more.

  • I wish I could favorite whole channels.

  • Perfection Personified.

  • What an amazing voice!

  • Perfection

  • excellent.........much better than original

  • mesmerizing... every word of the song was playing tricks... every component in the song was put to its best use, be it the instruments or the voice. :) Thank u...

  • awesome..

  • !!

    

  • Such beautiful flow.....the vocal and the flute complement each other so well......

  • @nanhshirk its a clarinet not a flute btw

  • @dctheduke Thanks! I saw the visual only now. Great rendition of Bhimpalasi- sin't it!

  • Hats Off

  • THE FLUTE IS MIND BLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT ALONE CAN CARRY THE ENTIRE SONG!!!!!!!! that's how good it is!! but the rest did well but seriously sorry to say it all wld be just a boring cover with out the flute!! <3 <3 <3

  • @Jinan there is no flute used....its a clarinet

  • @dctheduke yes I realised later on that the instrument played is actually a clarinet :)

  • very very very very lovely

  • Brilliant. ^respect^

  • @ShukarAlhamdulillah lmao

    u hear the song an u concentrate on the guy?

  • @ShukarAlhamdulillah HAHA. Agreed ;)

  • you are too good buddy: )) amazing voice yaar: ))

  • Shankarji, what would it take to get a copy of this purely instrumental? your solo bit was amazing, and is something I'd like to loop over and over just to listen to, but Aditya's voice (as nice as it is) comes it just a hair too soon. ...i'd pay for a purely instrumental version of all of your tracks, actually! keep it up!

  • Mathe ki bindiya bhikhar gayi hai, apne hath sajaa ja balaam...........wow wt an amazing performance...this version is indeed better then orginal.......THUMBS UP TO U GUYS......cheers from India :)

  • There's a problem in this video... juz remove the dislike button n it ll be perfect!

    Awesomeness man! ^_^

  • @djsriks i totally agree with u,, people who dislike this kind of music must be crazy idiots out of their brains!!

  • Lovely composition. Loved the balance between the mridungam and the flute! Must say a great voice makes the song worth it. Loved the voice completely.

  • WOO.....YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.....I AM FROM INDIA..AND I STUDY IN EUROPE...I HAVE COMPLETED MY DIPLOMA IN PERFORMING ARTS WITH VOCAL FROM M.S.UNIVERSITY VADODARA....AND BECAUSE OF CULTURE....I AM NOW METALLER IN BLACK DRESSES..AND I LISTEN HEAVY METAL ONLY..BUT AFTER LISTNING YOU ALL...I WAS FEELING SORRY......GUYS I LOVE INDIA.....YOU GUYS REALLY ROCK....
