Note
Todi presents a bit of a problem. Todi is not one, but a series of rags, such as Mian-ki-Todi, Gujari Todi, etc. Unfortunately, the filmwallas tend to be very careless in making these subtle distinctions. Therefore, we created this section where we have placed Todi and Todi-ish rag based film songs that do not fit in the other categories.
It is very likely that you may disagree with the way that we have categorised some of these songs. The way that film songs tend to mix rags willy-nilly, presents obvious problems. The way that we “call them” may not be the way that you would. That is OK. At least you understand the difficulties that we face in this regard.
