HR - The sensation














For those who didn't recognize him. This is the man, Himesh Reshammiya. He has done it all(acting, singing, composing).Hailing from a musical family, he started his career composing background scores for TV serials. His Bollywood break was a movie called Bandhan. What followed that is a string of super hits. Today, he is one of top music directors in the Hindi film industry.

His music is associated with the youthful and trendsetting culture in India. In spite of his popularity, Himesh Reshammiya has been the target of continuous criticism. His nasal voice and several other aspects have been severely criticized. Box office reports have stated otherwise. He has had over 36 hits in a single year. Who can forget the burkha incident where he had to publicly apologize for hurting "religious sentiments".

After 2005, when he won his first film fare(the "Oscars" of India) , he has been constantly churning out hits. He has made tremendous progress in a very short time.He made his acting debut in 2007 with Aap Ka Suroor which enjoyed commercial success. Elton John,MJ,Rolling Stones and Himesh Reshammiya... Well, what's common amongst them?

It's the Wembley


He was the first Indian to perform live at the Wembley Stadium. HR is also actively involved in mentoring and judging a popular singing competition on Zee TV. Jai Mata Di Let's Rock.

I am stuck in middle ground dude..regarding this HR guy.

One one hand I absolutely pity this cap wearing, clevage showing, semi-balding, tight-shirts-inspite-of-a-bad-paunch guy who sings from everywhere else but his mouth.

On the other hand, I still listen to some of his songs which do sound good.

But come on, you've got to admit it, there are certain things
1) His songs do sound IDENTICAL.
2) He does not need this thing they call "lyrics" i mean, he can turn aaja aaja into a song. I am still divided on whether thats good or bad.
3) His dressing sense is so outta this world, he could make guys like Brad Pitt eat their hats and socks.
4) His new hairstyle, I am not going to comment.

Oh and btw, I wrote a hate post on Himesh Bhai http://rvinay88.blogspot.com/2008/11/himmessh-movieie.html
