Comments – There are two versions of this; there is the original Aziz Nazaan version and then there is a variation by Udit Narayan.  Of these two versions, the Nazaan version adheres to Bhupeshwari, while the Narayan version goes off-rag in several places.

Comments – A clear example of Bhupeshwari but the prominent use of the Shuddha Re seems a little inconsistent with contemporary approaches.
