Surveykshan 5 Results, Desert Island Soundtracks of S-J Options

[v9y]

Hi all:

Thanks for an overwhelming response to the survey. In terms of participation, this was only second to the RDB survey, with 69 valid entries.

To brief you about the process, voters were supposed to select their favorite film scores composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, upto a maximum of 15 scores. Specifically, they were asked to select those scores which have "desert island appeal" for them. There was no ranking associated to the selections.

Presented below are the results of the survey. I have tried to briefly analyze some of the result data. Please feel free to comment or add your own analysis to it.

The result will also be available on the web at:
