Another year comes to an end, so let me start listing my favorites, starting with music as always.
My most favorite song of this year in Tamil is "Kannamma" from Rekka, soulful singing from Nandini Srikar. And, in Telugu it is still "Telusa Telusa" from Sarrainodu even though I didn't understand anything, loved Sameera Bharadwaj's sweet voice. Favorite song in Malayalam is "Thiruvaavaniraavu", Onam song, from Jacobinte Swargarajiyam. And, the beautiful "Channa Mereya" from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in Hindi.
And, eventually Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada becomes my most heard album overtaking Oru Naal Koothu at the end of the year. In Hindi, it's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil over taking Udta Punjab.
