Kannada special numbers that rocked in 2017

Some songs remain special, not just because they’re a party track or they have sizzling chemistry between the lead pairs of a film. These songs are special because they add something extra to the narrative or have a quirky touch that makes the movie memorable. Topping the list in the first edition of Bangalore Times Best Special Songs of 2017 is arguably one of the most played songs of the year — Bombe Helutaite from Raajakumara.This song, which is a tribute to Aadisi Nodu Beelisi Nodu from Kasturi Nivasa, has the soothing vocals of Vijay Prakash. The list also features some other chart-toppers of the year, which includes the unplugged versions of Preethiya Hesare Neenu, sung by Raghu Dixit, and Marete Hodanu, sung by actor Vasishta N Simha.
