Once all the votes have been compiled and counted, one track will be crowned the greatest Bollywood song of all time on Monday, May 27.

It is wonderful that the Asian Network is highlighting the genre’s most loved songs and giving listeners the opportunity to vote for their favourite. It’ll be interesting to see who makes it to the top spot.”
