Among top trending apps, 'Photo Editor - Beauty Camera & Photo Filters' and 'Messenger Lite' were trending on top, said the search giant.
Domestic 'Baahubali: The Game' was so popular that it had surpassed international games like 'WWE Champions', 'Super Mario Run' and 'Pokémon Duel' on Google Play.
Every year, Google publishes the list of most popular apps, games, music, movies and books on its digital distribution service Google Play. It also includes top five apps, games, movies, books, TV shows and music, globally.
"Indian authors swept the top five list of books with memoirs from Karan Johar, Rishi Kapoor, and Raghuram G. Rajan dominating the majority of the slots," the company said in a blog post. Drum-laden 'Saahore Baahubali' by M.M. Keeravaani was the most streamed song on Google Play followed by 'Ik Vaari Aa' from Arijit Singh.
Google Play is entirely cloud-based providing music, movies, books and apps and accessible online always.

Elsewhere, Kendrick Lamar may no longer be so "HUMBLE" after beating out Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," as Google Play's most streamed song of 2017. Kendrick's "DNA" also holds the number three spot on this list.
