Today is the 42nd birth anniversary of A. R. Rahman, who in all probability is the greatest composer alive. According to this article in time magazine, he is "the best-selling recording artist in history. His scores have sold more albums than Elvis or the Beatles or all the Jacksons: perhaps 150 million, maybe more." His uniqueness lies in his ability to combine extremely diverse musical tools: state of the art Synthesizers and Audio Processing Software, elements of Classical Music, Oriental Ragas, and a hugely myriad range of instruments and consistently deliver Music that satisfies both the layman listener and the pedantic critic for over a decade.
Here I play the tune he composed for Airtel.

Do you know, if the airtel tune is based on a raga? and if, which?
It follows the scale of Natta bhairavi. I'm not sure if there's any more raga connection, but I am not an expert in carnatic.
