ALi is also yALi.
1: 'ghoul'ipantu?
4: bahu, but saws? an't tell (so, can't be bahudAri, which would be many ways).

Re: Quiz on CM in a lighter vein
No both are not correct.
No.1 clue - think English + English (what sound does ghost make?)
No.3 clue - three letter name for a blue bird, second part you already got that right
No.4 clue - what's another single word for too many, just prefix saw to that
No.5 clue - focus on the last word, it's sanskrit equivalent - the name of the raga is almost synonymous to that word.

Yes Sir!.
About your Blue Brid - Only three letter word prefixing a manohari is kamala Manohari that I know - I searched in vain in this book for anything matching: https://books.google.com/books?isbn=8120818423 . Seems like a nice book to read to children.

Re: Quiz on CM in a lighter vein
Look for three letter english name for a bird associated with being blue in colour. Then you'll get it.

Re: Quiz on CM in a lighter vein
I know this one would be quite tough, I can give some additional clues.
------------------------
So many red herrings for a non-Telugu:
A ragam (not this one),
A day,
The master-lord? (Misheard, probably)
Quick, find the krithi!
(Alone or working together)
------------------------------
The last two lines point to the ragam, albeit in a silly transliteration.
The first four lines, to a famous krithi. In fact, they refer to the first three words of the pallavi.
Two ragas are involved, one is that of the krithi, other one is a word in the pallavi. Both these are super six level ragas.
The kriti is sung often by the DKP/DKJ school.
Do ask me if you are still stuck. Our WhatsApp group solved it in 30 minutes!

Re: Quiz on CM in a lighter vein
I think these clues should help you:
"Two ragas are involved, one is that of the krithi, other one is a word in the pallavi. Both these are super six level ragas."
There is just one set of six famous melakarta ragas which have a mathematical relationship. I guess this should be easy. Once you got that, it's just a question of identifying a pallavi containing one of these six raga names, set in another of the six ragas.
The krithi ragam can also be got from,
"The quick grouping".
Important, every word/phrase in the question provides some useful clue to the answer.

Chani Todi Theve - Harikambodhi.
A Telugu kriti with a pallavi line that gives wrong clues to a non-Telugu.
Chani - is not Sani (Saturday)
Todi - the other ragam
Theve - for a Tamilian especially can sound like dEvE
Hurry, combo-the --> Quick Grouping.
