Milliblog Weeklies – India’s only multilingual, weekly, new music playlist. Week 278: YouTube | Spotify Back after a week’s break. A monster playlist this time – 35 songs! Probably the highest in ...

The trio treat Prasoon’s adorable words extraordinarily well in the title song – glittering music and a truly effervescent tune flow. Raman Mahadevan’s guitar-led Kholo takes the feel further, Shankar ...
