Comments – This is from an old Pakistani movie directed by Hassan Tariq and produced by A. G. Rasool.

It is arguable hat this is actually Bihag. Indeed if you listen carefully, you can hear the Pa Ma’ Ga Ma Ga, which is the pakad of Bihag. Unfortunately, it is so weak and insipid that it is nothing more than an ornament.

The inconsequential and weak character of the Bihag pakard, has caused other people to classify this as Maru Bihag. This seams to be reasonable, but it is not so strong as to cause me to classify it as Maru Bihag.

In this matter, I can only suggest that the listener make their own decision.
