Comments – This is not a good example of Ahir Bhairav.  There is just way too much mixing of other rags going on here.

Comments – This starts off as a good example of Ahir Bhairav, but then towards the end it starts to mix elements that are not within the rag

Comments – This starts of as a fairly acceptable version of Ahir Bhairav, but very quickly there is a lot of mixing of non-Ahir Bhairav elements.  This level of mixing makes it arguable that this is actually some form of Bhairav or Kalingada. It is not a good example of Ahir Bhairav.

Comments – This is a very good example of Ahir Bhairav with very little mixing of other rags.  This example is generally held up to be the benchmark for a filmi Ahir Bhairav.
