Comments – This is a pretty good example of Darbari Kanada. I would have liked to see a strong presence of the ultra-flattened third (ati komal Ga) and an ultra flattened 6th (ati komal Dha), but I know that this is just too much to expect from a film song. All things considered this is really a pretty good example if you are struggling to get an understanding of Darbari Kanada.

Comments – Good example of Darbari Kanada from Manna Dey. But Lata’s version, mmmmm, not so. Many opine that this part is actually Sarang.

Comments – This is certainly not a good example of Darbari Kanada. Darbari Kanada is is a rather fragile rag that if it is not treated correctly, it spills over into Asavari, Jaunpuri, Adana or a host of other ragas. Well this is a good example of the rag, not being handled correctly. This is not to say that it is not a nice song, but it should not be your first choice of songs in order to get a feel for the rag.
