Hi! Prabhu,
 
Inisai Mazhai from GodFather is in raag Hindolam. Hindolam is a Janya raaga of 
"Natabhairavi" raagam.
 
The ascent and descent of Hindolam: 




S G2 M1 D1 N2 S

|| S N2 D1 M1 G2 S
 
Abheri, on the otherhand is a Janya raaga of "Karaharapriya" raagam
Abheriascent and descent: 




S G2 M1 P N2 S
|| S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S

Observe the ascent notations. You are able to discern some similarity because 
all the notes are same, except for P(pa), which is replaced by D1 (dha), which 
is just one key shift. 
 
Now, Observe the descent, the transformation from Abheri to Hindolam can be 
obtained if we change:
D2--> D1
Introduce P
Knock off R2.
 
In all, the descent has lesser extent of overlap than the ascent where there is 
only a single note shift. Hence you are probably losing your way from Abheri to 
Hindolam. 
Hope this helps.


Regards
Kamal Aakarsh Vishnubhotla.

Thanks Kamal! 
A small question, is the song Innisai from Godfather/Varulaaru based on Raag 
Abheri? Whenever I hear Manmohini (fantastic composition) I am reminded of 
Innisai... 
Manmohini and Innisai (chorus version) are, in my opinion, two of the most 
excellent fusion songs by ARR bringing Indian classical together with nice 
electronica!

thanks!
Prabhu

Hi!
 
Manmohini is based on raag "Bheempalas", whose carnatic equivalent is "Abheri".
 
ARR's own Bheempalas/Abheri compositions include:
 
1. Kannodu - Jeans - Abheri
2. Kismat se tum - Pukaar (one of the beautiful Bheempalas compsotions in Hindi 
film music)
3. Radha Kaise Na Jale - beautiful indeed, Bheempalas.
4. Lucky Lucky - Rakshagan - Abheri
5. Shabba Shabba - Abheri (this is one freaky abheri, i could figure it out 
initially, till i looked at the interludes)
6. Kelamal - ATM (i am not sure abt whole song but the opening tune,"Ketka 
rasika paada unrai..." is abheri for sure..)
 
There could be more, but i remembered only these now..

Manmohini is my new ringtone... And, yes i was amazed to hear Vijay
Prakash voice like HAriharan... Im addicted to this track... and whats
worst is that it ends when its getting better... wish there was a part
2... :-(

VERY VERY Good music.... Taal is the past, Yuvvraaj, the future.
