Making cover versions of Adele's Hello has almost become an industry. Even so, it's a remarkable feat to play Adele's newest hit 'Hello' as though it were a piece of Carnatic music. Possibly even more so when the only instrument being used is an iPad.

This version in the video above offers a pleasant enough listening experience, but doesn't go much further.For a more exciting Carnatic rendition of Adele's music, try Krish Ashok's electric violin playing the theme from Skyfall. This is not the end.
