T-Series and Bhushan Kumar mark a defining moment in India’s digital and devotional music space as Shri Gulshan Kumar’s iconic Hanuman Chalisa crosses 5 billion views. With this milestone, it becomes the only Indian video to achieve this feat and earns a spot in YouTube’s global Top 10 most-viewed videos of all time.
