Comments – This is a film song which actually uses the textbook example of XDhaa Dhin Naa | 0Dhaa Tin Naa | Most film songs use the more common Khempta. There are some very nice laggis which lend a nice excitement to many of the sthais.

Comments – This is a slow sad song and not surprisingly it uses a rather slow 92 bpm rhythm. The accompaniment is clearly a single structure of 3 beats. The theka of which is XDhaa TiTa TiTa | It is very easy and even a beginning tabla player should have no trouble with this.

Comments – This is a very typical fast Dadra of XDhin Tin Naa | 0Dhin Dhin Naa |. As is usual for this style, the vocalist and the other musicians treat this six beat pattern as though it were a much slower (119 bpm) three beat pattern. Still it is impossible to base a 119 beat musical score upon a rhythmic base of 238 without maintaining, a nice lilting, and upbeat feel.
