See also this video that a friend sent me. (the girl has a lovely voice. and see the person in the podium)




I am reminded of the song Hari Om Man Tadpat - Raag Malkauns - from the 1952 movie Baiju Bawra. The beautiful "Hindu" song was written by Shakeel Badayuni, set to tune by Naushad and sung by Rafi. Now what do you say about that? 

Movie songs in the Raag Malkauns based on its Wiki: 
Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj' (film Baiju Bawra, performed by Mohammad Rafi), 'Aadha Hai Chandrama Raat Aadhi' (film Navrang, performed by Mahendar Kapoor and Asha Bhosle), 'Chham Chham Ghunghroo Bole' (film Kaajal, performed by Asha Bhosle), 'Ankhiyan Sang Ankhiyaan Laagi Aaj (film Bada Aadmi)', 'Balma Maane Na' (film Opera House),  'Gori tera gaon bada pyara' (film Chitchor, performed by K.J. Yesudas). It is rather surprising that I can't seem to identify that all these songs have a common raga and even stranger is the fact that I love most of these songs. The Opera House song and the Kaajal song do seem to have the same tune. Both are dance songs.
