Top Albums and Songs - 2017

That time of the year again, so let me start listing my favorites, starting with music as always. Movies and my awards to follow.

For previous years, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013.

My most heard and favorite song of this year is Dhevathai Pol Oruthi from the mind-blowing album SOLO, which was eventually my favorite album of this year as well. Most favorite song in Malayalam is still Ayalathe from Angamaly Diaries, the only complaint is it's very short. And, it's Enno Enno Bhavaley from Yuddham Sharanam, Pradeep Kumar's voice rocks in Telugu too. And, it's the haunting Thodi Der from Half-Girlfriend in Hindi, Farhan Saeed and Shreya Ghosal's vocals are mesmerizing.

Most favorite album in Tamil is SOLO, though Aal Ayaal song was in Malayalam. Velipadinte Pushthagam in Malayalam which has many beautiful songs other than the sensational Jimikki Kammal. And, absolutely loved Arjun Reddy in Telugu and Jab Harry Met Sejal in Hindi, still I don't remember the number of songs in this movie just like SOLO. And, can't get all the composers names in Solo as well.

Few movies, Sagaa, Simba, Server Sundaram, Sema, Nenjam Marapathillai, are included even though they are yet to be released, since I feel they maynot get released at all. "Maruvaarthai", not included, hoping ENPT will release next year.
