If you listen to mai hoo don, there is a subtle menace in the song, music is by and large improvisation of background score used by Kalyan ji Anand ji in original Don, remember this?

^S-P-D(komal)-N(Komal)-P-D(K)-R(K)-S

now listen to this song again...!!

\you are right this is not a copy and whenever \sel have used a known tune they paid due credit like pretty woman, \don,

I took notice of them in kal ho na ho! They are so great!

After hearing Yashita and Shankar singing 'Johny Gaddar', I was prompted to go back to listen to the original. This is the first time I heard the song and I think it is another well-made song by S-E-L. Very reminiscent of the 70's music typified by RDB.

All the beauty of this song lies in the instrumentation. Fantastic! I am glad I watched this episode of SRGMP and discovered this song.

really nice thread...thanks ID and punjini for your insightful posts.

I really admire Shankar the singer and SEL is my favourite MD currently. I took notice of them first in Dil Chahta Hai and then I found out later that they had also done mission kashmir which I had absolutely loved. I usually look out for their albums too and nowadays even more than ARR.

And about the episode...well this was the first time in many weeks that I actually sat in front of my TV and watched an entire episode of SRGMP. Shankar is my favourite mentor on the show and his gharana is also my favourite as I like his choice of singers such as Pratibha and Naina (unfortunately out now).

excelent tremolo use over lead guitar, the highlight is combination of chords, weird, just the hallmark of RDB as you said : Dminor/B Flat and then Ab6 (....!!!!!!), these combinations were used by RDB to devastatiing effect.

Shankar has said a few times in interviews that guitar riffs are normally looked after by Ehsaaan Noraani.

If you all love Shanker than hope you all did not miss catching his repeat telecaste of Yeh Sham Mastani couple of weeks back. Fantastic singing 👏 I have recorded it so I can watch him sing over and over.
