Friends, I know there quite few musical gems amongst us in this forum....e.g. bigmac, kishore_bhakta, N Sinha, luvmusic, autmother etc...

my favourite song in the recent has been 'piya bole...' from parineeta...

Can one of these knowledgeable persons tell me which Raag this song is set to? and what is the equivalent of this raag in carnatic music?

Thanks...

❓❓❓ Amogh, thought you were the one who was lamenting about the forum being dull???

Instead of starting a non-sensical stuff like words-building or antakshari etc, I started this thread to get an insight into the raga system....

Don't understand what you mean by 🤢...is it that you are not aware of the raag or don't appreciate the idea or don't want know???

piya bole... is heavily influenced by Rabindrasangeet or natyageet

Many of Rabindrasangeet have only a partial conformity to ragas. Of course, in cases where Tagore found the tonal color of the raga in almost total conformity to the sentiment of the song, he adopted the raga in its entirety. On certain instances, we even see authentic classical compositions adopted faithfully in respect of both melody and rhythm, set to outstanding Bengali lyric.

The urge to evoke a particular mood to his own satisfaction, often led him to blend ragas in unexpectedly beautiful and interesting ways, or to look for uncharted and unexplored nuances within the known frameworks of ragas. It was on these occasions that some of his most beautiful and intellectually challenging creations came forth.

I am not an expert on classical Music - wild guess - piya bole...based on either Pilu or Yaman Kalyan

I wish Abhi / Sinha da was here

soulsoup, just went through the songs listed under raga 'pilu'...find similarities in the melody...

also found that equivalent of 'Pilu' is 'Kapi' in carnatic music...the most popular raagam in SouthIndian film music...
