I think in a broad sense you might say it borrows something from raga
Pahadi. Again, it is not strictly based on that raga but you can hear
some combinations of notes that resemble "pahadi". May be it is my
impression only. Any comments?

Yes, it does borrow from Pahadi. I had reservations about mentioning
that Raga because there are much better examples of Pahadi or even
Mishra Pahadi in film songs.

I absolutely agree that there are better examples of mishra Pahadi in Hindi
film songs than "Jo vaada kiya wo nibhana padega". I just was'nt sure if my
impression about this song was correct. A few songs based on Pahadi I can
think of the top of my head are:
a. Ye dil aur unki nigaahon ke saaye
b. Patta patta boota boota haal hamaara jane hai
c. Karwate badalte rahen saari raat hum, aapaki kasam
d. Sainya bin ghar soona (this ofcourse is a film version of the famous
thumari)
Again I'm writing this message just based on my memory, so some songs may
have a strong influence of Pahadi than others. Can any one think of any
more songs?
