Sargam (notations) for song Awarapan Banjarapan
Movie : Jism (2003)
Singer : KK
Lyrics : Neelesh Misra, Sayeed Quadri
Music : MM Kareem

Although there are many tutorials available on internet for this song, of which most of them start with Komal Gandhar (g) as first note, but, taking Madhyam (M) as the first note instead, the playing on flute becomes easy. Because, this way you only have to play one Komal swar which is Komal Nishad (n) whereas, otherwise you would be playing three Komal swars – Gandhar, Dhaiwat and Nishad.

Although, the original scale is G but, I have produced these notations on E scale.
