Sargam notations for the song – “Patta patta buta buta…”

Singer : Lata Mangeshkar – Mohammad Rafi
Lyricist : Majrooh Sultanpuri
Music Director : Laxmikant Pyarelal
Movie : Ek Nazar (1972)

Raag : Pahadi

Scale : C#

As I have always maintained that Hindi Film songs composers take creative liberty while composing songs based on Raags, this song is another example where the composers did not follow the exact rules of Raag Pahadi.  Raag Pahadi contains all Shuddh Swars, but this song, even being based on this Raag, contains Komal Nishad (n) at few places – to enhance the melody of the lyrics.
