This gave me more trouble than the others. I played a half-dozen ordinary moves before reaching an impasse. I had to resort to a 13-13-18-18-38-38 DP. There were two numbers that could kill it; one led to a contradiction and the other solved it. I suspect the more advanced players could find better solutions.

This is where I stand after basics:
Code:

+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 9       137     123      | 57      8       6        | 4       12      125      |
| 4       5       6        | 3       1       2        | 9       8       7        |
| 127     17      8        | 57      9       4        | 126     3       1256     |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 38      138     123      | 4       6       7        | 12      5       9        |
| 12      9       4        | 8       3       5        | 1267    1267    126      |
| 5       6       7        | 9       2       1        | 8       4       3        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 38      1378    13       | 6       4       9        | 5       127     12       |
| 17      4       9        | 2       5       3        | 167     167     8        |
| 6       2       5        | 1       7       8        | 3       9       4        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

A type 4 UR ( 38 ) gets rid of 3 in r47c2, which leaves a naked single 3 in r1c2.
After cleanup and some coloring on 2, there are a couple w-wings (12) in this position:

(1) r1c3=r7c9 via col 8 and
(1) r1c8=r4c7 via col 3

Code:

+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 9       3       12       | 7       8       6        | 4       12      5        |
| 4       5       6        | 3       1       2        | 9       8       7        |
| 127     17      8        | 5       9       4        | 16      3       126      |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 38      18      123      | 4       6       7        | 12      5       9        |
| 12      9       4        | 8       3       5        | 1267    167     16       |
| 5       6       7        | 9       2       1        | 8       4       3        |
+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 38      178     13       | 6       4       9        | 5       127     12       |
| 17      4       9        | 2       5       3        | 167     167     8        |
| 6       2       5        | 1       7       8        | 3       9       4        |

Unless I made a silly error, I finished it off with a kite on <2> in box 4 to delete the <2> in r3c7 and a w-wing <12> with strong link on <2> in col 3 to delete <1> from r3c7 & r5c8.

Nataraj, I just read your comments and I suspect that your coloring on <2> is effectively the same as my kite, and I used your second w-wing option to finish up.
