There are people who think that Asha Bhonsle mostly sang light songs (cabarat etc) and she did not sing “serious” songs or song based on classical raagas. Of course that is not correct. Most songs in Hindi movies are indeed based on some Raag. The singers and music directors, whether they are trained or not follow the framework of raagas, unless it is a western song that they are composing.

Credits are rolling in and a song is playing in the background. As the credit ends, so does the song, and the story begins in the right earnest.
