• Desert island albums, scores, and participants
• Desert island songs (additional)

In this SurveykshaN, participants were asked to select up to 15 film albums composed by C Ramchandra for a desert island scenario. In addition, they could also optionally select 15 songs (exclusive to the selected albums).

Anarkali turned out to be an overwhelming favorite selected by about 95% participants. Albela was second with about 90% selections. At the third place was Aazad, though well below the top 2, it was chosen by a significant majority of 73% participants.

Thanks again to all participants for sending their entries. I hope everyone enjoyed going through their CR collection.
