Thumris are easier to experiment with owing to their relatively higher mass appeal. Abhijit has reimagined quite a few of them in the Thumri projekt. For instance, marrying carnatic sounds with thumris. Akeli Dar Laage is more of Ramakant Gaikwad's show. -Akanksha

This is a decent version but I have heard better from this artiste. Quite haphazard. Starts off slow and then as if they are running out of time, they rush to finish it in a sprint. -Ketan

The vocal elements save this track. -Guri
