Just picked this one from indianscreen.com who got a new C. Ramachandra lot added. My all time favorite, a very good garbaa-style song with excellent chorus and sweet flute interludes. At some points chorus sings individual
lines very clear and audiable(not repeted by Lata).A very festive exhilarating lyrics by Kavi Pradeep who at times picked words from local dilects, I remember him writing "rakhkha hai ye charaaG shahiido.n ne baal ke" in "hum laa{}e hai.n tuufaan se qashtii nikaal ke", the word "baal" (to light/flame) belongs to his own dilect "maaLwi" which is spoken in parts of MP ("baal" may also be there in other dilects/languages, i guess in marathi, but i am not sure)I could often find such forms/usage in his lyrics, though not many in this one. IMO CR-Pradeep here score more points than CR-Lata, :-) this one can be heared at indianscreen.com.
