How do you figure out the raag of a song? Do you play the notes of the antara on a keyboard? Or can you get it just by listening? And if listening, do you listen to specific phrases (e.g. pakad of the raag) or any other random phrase that is popularly used for that raag? How do you account for 'accidental' notes that most filmy songs usually have?

I can 'sense' only those songs based on Maalkauns and yaman, but not always.....and Darbari Kanada sometimes.

Gurus, is there a collection of Sanskrit texts you would recommend?
I recently came across the Clay Sanskrit Library on Amazon, and in my excitement nearly purchased the whole thing as an impulse purchase, but decided to just check out the descriptions.
All kinds of veritable scumbags have performed the translations, or written forewords - Mani Shankar Aiyar, UR Ananthamurthy, Romila Thapar, Sheldon Pollock. Will not spend a single paisa to support these scumbags.
I have found Bibek Debroy's work on the Ramayana and Mahabharata to be exemplary, and he is very Indic in his outlook, and can't seem to find anything of similar quality.

Aaja jaane jaaan (lata Mangeshkar original) sung by Sarrika Singh.
Reason for posting here is two-fold- the 'full' orchestra is shown in action. It shows the number of instruments and the phenomenal amount of coordination required to get everyone in sync.

And the icing on cake: Pyarelal Sharma (or the LAxmikant Pyarelal fame) is on stage 'conducting' in his white suit. The real conductor is in black suit....

Had no idea it was widespread ..I guess IR would have known. He does listen to Hindi songs... in an interview his list of great Hindi music directors include Naushad, SD Burman, Roshan and Madan Mohan. On that note, here's a Madan Mohan classic.... TUm Jo mil gaye ho..

SriKumar

Hindi version of original dhak dhak karne laga is done by Anand Milind. He made up an entire career plagiarising Ilaya Raja's music.
He stole IR songs right & left from Agni nakshatram to maunragam..

Was listein to 'Tere mere beech mein'....(LAta's version had a lot more murkiyaan than SPB's)
Music by Laxmikant Kudalkar and Pyarelal Sharma

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGKDBhdxn6c

and realized it had a common raaga with this Ilaya Raja composition (starring Sridevi)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeTTtCdWfvY

Seems like they are based on Raag Sivaranjani ...the most phamous song in this raag (for me anyway)
Mere naina saawan bhaadon

raag jhinjhoti http://www.tanarang.com/english/jhinjhoti_eng.htm ^

it is unfortunate in spite of having raag base, folk songs these days Bwood music is mostly cheap pop & remixes. Song like aashi banaya by Himesh reshamiya can't be heard in first go has got a remix on it.

IndraD, here is another gem from Ilaya raja, that, to my knowledge has not been done in any other language. All songs in this movie are classics. He used 3 different male singers in this movie (as opposed to just SPB). This song is by SPB though.
