A year ago, when we launched Phulki, we had a humble goal of making Hindi music easily accessible. To accomplish that, we provided an intuitive search functionality that you could use to search songs by album, year, singer etc.. We further allowed you to save a collection of songs as playlists and listen to them at your will. These playlists, we soon discovered, became islands of related music. For example, approximately 25 playlists have been created with a party theme, 200 or so have been dedicated to old songs, and close to 50 playlists are dedicated to Lata Mangeshkar alone.
As an infamous explorer once remarked – what good is an island if it is never discovered? Now you can discover and listen to these islands of music, or playlists, on Phulki. In order to search for a playlist, simply append “playlist” to your query. Phulki will show you playlists that match your search. It will also show the list of songs in each playlist and allow you to load the playlist into the player. For example, the query “playlist party” will return “Party” playlists. You can copy the playlist into your collection by loading it in to the player and saving it as your own.
So, there it is – the latest feature addition to Phulki. We know that planning a party is hard. Although we can’t help you in choosing the right place or food, we can help you choose the right music by letting you search for other people’s playlists. With the music taken care of, all you are left with is learning to dance 
I’m sorry to report that the Playlist search functionality has a lot of scope for improvement. For example, I have a playlist titled “Asha Parekh Hits” – and you can see it at http://www.phulki.com/p/playlist/chetanw/Asha+Parekh+Hits/I2GreqVV4SU_
Now, try searching for it in the Search box. I tried and it never came up – all I got was matches on the word “Hits” – including even Tamil songs.

I want phulki as songbird plugin http://getsongbird.com/
You rock !
@Chetan,
Agree that we need to continue improving on playlist search (and search in general as well.)
Your playlist titled “Asha Parekh Hits” is currently private and Phulki search only returns publicly shared playlists. You can make the playlist public
Keep the feedback coming.
Enjoy
Phulki Team
The playlist function in fantastic – it would become unbeatable if it could preload the next song in que : this way users (like me) could actually use it to play in their parties – without stopping the dance!!!!
btw. I absolutely love your iphone version – you could have made it an app and even charged money I would have no issue in paying $1-$3 for a Phulki app. And I think there would be many more like me out there.
Check out this playlist – everyone will enjoy these “masti” songs from Hindi Films
