Meree Sangeet Yaatra - R D Burman - 3: Episode 2, Part 2

In this part they talk about another gem that came out of the RD-Gulzar factory - 'raina beetee jaaye'. RD makes an interesting point regarding the use of raag-based songs in filmi situations. One can also see that RDs process of song-making was not entirely devoid of considerations for aspects of classical music. So next time if you
find a trace of a raag in an RDB song, don't just pass it as a chance. He really meant it. He knew his raags better than he made us believe he knew.

Enjoy..
