ARR's trysts with Raag Bhairavi: 1. Spirit of Rangeela 2. Margazhi Thingal (Sangamam) - His best ever Bhairavi. 3. Sabaq Aisa - Tehzeeb 4. Jiya Jale - Dil Se (it is a mishra... but the ending gets into total Bhairavi aalaap) 5. Rang De - Meenaxi 6. Man Mohana - Jodha Akbar 7. Thok De Killi - Raavan (has shades of it) 8. Behne De - Raavan 9. Engae enathu kavithai - Kandukondein Kandukondein.. It is Sindhu Bhairavi (Carnatic-ized Bhairavi) 10. Khamoshiyaan gungunaane - 1-2-ka-4 11. Mera Rang De Basanthi Chola - The Legend of Bhagat Singh 12. Rang De Basanthi - Rang De Basanti
I could think of only these at this moment. I might be missing few more. But yes, I have observed that Bhairavi seems to be his favourite raaga.

Which other ARR songs from the past have used Raaga Bhairavi, for those of you who know raagas? A few come to mind: - Parts of Man Mohanna from JA, esp. the intro string interlude and flute interludes - Sabaq Aisa from Tehzeeb, used heavily here - The choruses of Taal Se Taal Mila (the Antara is in Kirwani) I don't know of any Bhairavi songs in Tamil, but I may be mistaken. Anyone want to add to this list, if you can think of some?
