Here are the notations for the song Mitwa from movie KANK.  This song seems to be based on Raag Khamaj, though I am not too sure.  Use of Komal Nishad (n) is prominent as well as S’ R’ G’ and M’ at higher octave.

I have also tried to notate the SARGAM Aalaap part also that comes before the first Antara.  Sargam notations of this part is available only on this site. 

Enjoy!
