There is nothing to compose, there are two giants who are singing this song, give the sthayi antara and get out of the way.

[adiagni]

Tansem(amir khan sahib): re sa re ma pa re, ma pa ni sa, pa ni sa re ma pa ni sa re, pa dha ma pa re ni sa, pa dha ma pa dha ma pa, re ga sa re ni sa...

Baiju Bawra(D.V.Paluskar ji): sa ni sa re sa ni pa ma pa ni sa re ga sa re, ni sa re pa ma pa re ga sa re ni sa sa ,pa dha ma pa re ga sa re ni sa

Combi: sa re ma pa, re re ma pa ni sa, sa ni sa re ma pa, pa pa ma ga re sa ni sa,ga ga re sa ni sa pa dha ma pa, dha ma pa re ga sa re ni sa

This is great music. The competition between baiju(Amir khan) and tansen(paluskar) is won by baiju taking his voice up and up and giving rapid moorkian at that high range. This is the most difficult part of singing. The ustads practice this for years. Then, the singer has to be gifted with the ability to go high. Most ghazal and film singers could not go into high notes and gave us low note music. That is why we must appreciate the few that can sing high notes.

the tabla work is fking AWESOME! I play guitar and am mostly into western rock n stuff, but time and again I keep coming back to this song for its pure awesomeness. I think this song is unmatched in its brilliance in the history of hindi cinema music.

@0musing i dont know, i thought manna dey did put up a nice fight and while he might not be a classical exponent, he is also a trained classical singer, if i am correct of bishnupur gharana

@0musing

As far as Bhimsen ji was concerned I remember reading somewhere ( probably in a Mohan Nadkarni column) that the film was edited and so was the track and the parts of Bhimsenji was recorded before Manna De sang his part and Bhimsenji wasn't even aware of this shenanigan in the film! In real life NO ONE CAN imagine such sacrilege!

I have heard Bhimsen ji, Live, several times! He was probably a Gandharva who came on this earth to show us mortals the intricacies of classical Music

@0musing

You are right! It is MANNA DE! there CAN BE NO doubt! In my mind I can hear the replay and I have heard the track zillionth time! I think there are slight resemblence to Rafi in parts of taan patterns and i got swayed during a lapse in concentration! Mea Culpa! Thanks for pointing it out!

@Psyche1954

I am sorry to disappoint you. If you talk to anyone who has heard Manna dey and Mohd. Rafi, they will confirm that its Manna Dey. Or else, pls. google up the movie(Basant Bahar) and you will see its Manna Dey.

Or else if you can make the distinction, listen to : watch?v=MBIX3a84v8g and judge for yourself.

I have criticized that song ad nauseam to music connoisseurs .. how can Manna Dey defeat Pt. Bhimsen Joshi?!

@vidyanshu

The film was basnt bahar ( available on you tube) and the "OTHER singer" was Mohammad rafi" and the song was in eponymous raag Basnt Bhaar " Ketaki Ghulab Juhi Champak Ban phoole"

It is available on this site elsewhere

the coronation song/or return from the battlefield song "shubha din aayo" in Baageshri and the plaintif haunting melody " prem Jogan banke" in Sohni!
