| Music Review: Top Ten Bollywood Songs Of The Week! |
by Priyanka Jain Vora
Diwali season is bringing us an expected Blockbuster, Thugs of Hindustan. Have you heard the new songs from this movie, #5 and #7 on the charts below? “Vashmalle” definitely has a very “Malhari” vibe to it! We can’t wait to see Katrina’s item song!! Still strong on the charts are the latest garba songs, “Chogada” and “Dholida” from the movie, Loveratri starring Aayush Sharma ad Warina Hussain. “Kamariya” remains top of the charts for several weeks in a row – don’t miss this horror comedy, “Stree” starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. “Dilbar,” my personal favorite, is a fan favorite and definitely stays as one of the top 10 songs of 2018!
