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.

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 2008/10/17 Kamal Aakarsh Vishnubhotla <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> 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..
