The official Google India Blog recently carried out an analysis to check on "What were we watching the most this year?' The research spooled back through videos and channels that absorbed collective global attention this year and compiled the list capturing the global view counts of popular videos uploaded throughout this year.

The research revealed that In India, the top 10 most-watched YouTube videos of 2011 were:

RA.One - Teaser Trailer

Singham - Trailer Full HD

Mission Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol - Official Trailer

iPhone 5 Concept Features

The Silent Indian National Anthem

While more than 50% of the list comprises trailers of Bollywood Movies (an industry known for high decibel media spends), The Silent National Anthem acquired an audience largely on account of brilliant emotional connect. The premise "Patriotism knows no language' was brought to life through hundreds of special kids with hearing/speech impairments singing the National Anthem in sign language for India's 61st Republic day. BIG Cinemas in association with the Mudra Group released the video across its cinemas on 26 January 2011.
