Top 10 posts based on pageviews:
This is a rather interesting mix! A Malayalam soundtrack topping it in indeed a surprise, even to me! The other interesting part is the fact that 7 of these 10 are 200 word reviews, while Ekk Deewana Tha, Oru Kal Oru Kannadi and Jannat 2 are the ones that got 100 word reviews. I’m assuming that fans of these soundtracks’ composers (A R Rahman, Harris Jayaraj and Pritam) were manly responsible for the high pageviews.
