Unsurprisingly, Rafi's rendition was flawless

Whoever opined that an allegation need not be melodious hadn’t heard Radhike Tune Bansari Churayi from Beti Bete.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that the track – which could be translated to, “Hey Radha, you have stolen my flute” – was a classic.

It was based on Raga Ahir Bhairav.

Mohammed Rafi's rendition was superb.

The track, which Shailendra penned, was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

While the rest of the song could easily be understood, one word couldn’t. In the line that went, “Kaahe ko raar machaye”, the word raar means a fuss.
