There was every chance that FP could’ve botched the song up. Didn’t happen, dear readers! She, despite imparting a contemporary touch to it, has kept the essence of the thumri in mind (read: in heart) and sung it with the finesse and clarity that’s required for such a composition. Obviously she can’t be compared to all those trained vocalists who have attempted it before her. She has done her own thing, and succeeded to a great extent.
