Comments – This is very mixed, in the middle Manna Dey goes off into other rags. If you are trying to get a good feel for Pilu this is not a song to look into.

Comments – This is a pretty good example of Pilu. But the Interludes take liberties with the rag. This itself is rather interesting, because it seems to me that many of the songs of this period took the opposite approach. The song itself took liberties, but the the interludes stuck pretty close to the rag. One example which sticks in my mind is the treatment of Kalavati in “Na To Karavan Ki Talash Hai”
