Cast: Zayed Khan, Minisaha Lamba, Isha Sherwani
Music: Himesh Reshammiya
Singers: Sunidhi Chauhan, Vinit, Amrita Kak, Himesh Reshammiya, Akriti Kakkar, Tulsi Kumar

Himesh Reshammiya is on roll. Just after finishing his final touch ups on ‘Antony Kaun Hai’, he is ready with his next musical venture ‘Rocky- The Rebel’. The interesting point to note is that even after working at this pace he is able to deliver hits after hits. Anu Malik and others should learn a lesson or two from this music vending machine.
Directed by Suresh Krishna this movie star Zayed Khan, Minisha Lamba and Isha Sherwani. Lyrics is by Sameer. With youth icon Zayed in the lead you can expect some trendy and youthful tracks. There are more than ten songs in this album. Himesh Reshammiya croons majority of the numbers.

The album begins with a youthful music ‘Junoon’. Featured on Zayed Khan this song perfectly matches with the youthful and wild image of the star. A high caliber trendy number this one hooks us with its engaging music and rhythm. As always, Reshammiya breezes through this track in his characteristic, rocking manner. Reshammiya’s invention Amrita Kak lends him full support. Even in her short appearance she is able to make her mark in the hearts of music lovers. Like many of his earlier tracks this one too can come high up in the musical ladder.

I Deliver a Hit Every Week,” says Himesh
Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Monday, July 24, 2006]

Himesh Reshamiya has turned a full cycle. Last year, it was almost the same time when he struck gold with the catchy-n-tangy tunes of ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’. The title song became a nationwide anthem of the youth, the taxi and auto wallas and the pride of barber shops. ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’ is notable because it marked the debut of Himesh the singer-with-a-nasal-touch. “I deliver a hit every week,” he says. True.

His music is one of the reasons behind the success of such films as ‘Tom Dick and Harry’, ‘Aksar’, ‘36 China Town’, ‘Shaadi Se Pehle’, ‘Chup Chup Ke’ and ‘Phir Hera Pheri’. Even a single in ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye’ became a rage forcing composer Anu Malik to turn red in the face.

One year down the line, every two out of four films have music by Himesh Reshamiya. His obsession (Or is it the producers) with his own voice is evident in the recent score of Zayed Khan’s ‘Rocky’ where he has sung five out of six numbers. Having started off on his super hit journey with Aaditya Dutt’s ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’, Reshamiya is back with Dutt’s next ‘Dil Diya Hai’. Starring Emraan Hashmi, the music is not the same any more. Yes, Himesh is tiring.

Ahista Ahista
Himesh Reshammiya’s music is the flavour of the season. In “Ahista Ahista”, he has done a good job as a composer, but disappoints as a singer because his voice lacks freshness.

Soft guitar strumming and slow violin makes the title track “Ahista Ahista” somewhat pleasing to the ears, but sadly Reshammiya sings the song at a high pitch, which reminds the listener of his tracks in “Humko Deewana Kar Gaye”.

Irshad Kamil’s lyrics are impressive and Himesh could have worked better on them, instead of repeating the rehearsed mukhda of his popular title track in “Humko Deewana Kar Gaye”.

However, “Ahista Ahista” (Unplugged) comes as a respite and Reshammiya sings this number sans the usual background musical instruments.

‘Ahista Ahista’, ‘Anthony Kaun Hai’, ‘Rocky-The Rebel’, ‘Dil Diya Hai’ - it has been a crazy last few weeks for Himesh Reshammiya if one looks at the number of audio releases crediting him for the music.

After ‘Aap Ki Khatir’, the scenario may change for him as there would be break of sorts as far his music releases are concerned. Though the man is still working day in and night out on his compositions for new films, at least from the promotional front he would be having a respite with ‘Aap Ki Khatir’ seeming to be only release over next few days.

This may well go down in record books.

Himesh Reshammiya, who is churning out one after another album every alternate day (though with lesser impact than what he managed to do around 2-3 months) will be seeing 5 of his films releasing back to back in the month of August.

Starting from August 4 when ‘Anthony Kaun Hai?’ arrives, his music takes a break on August 11 when majority of films are taking break. Reason? KANK arrives in the BIG day.

Bollywood, the biggest film industry in the world, churns out so many movies a week that to keep up with them all would be nearly impossible. The music is even harder to follow, with each movie containing 7 to 8 tracks. Therefore, my goal is to provide a Cliff Notes version of the Hindi music scene so far this year.

As the year 2006 surpasses its mid-point, about 25 songs have stood out, either for their commercial appeal or for their musical value. The songs have been divided into four categories: The Nasal Playlist, It’s a Hit, the Underdogs, and Pop What?

The Nasal Playlist

Last year’s nasal nostalgia continues in full force as music director/singer Himesh Reshammiya churns out one chartbuster after another. Jhalak Dikhlaja from the movie Aksar led this year’s batch of tunes from la Reshammiya. This foot-tapping number quickly became a favorite club song. Everyone was singing it. And everyone had forgotten about the popular Aashiq Banaya Aapne from last year. Reshammiya followed up on this trend with two other hits- Aashiqui Mein Teri from 36 China Town and Jhoom Jhoom from Tom, Dick and Harry.

Now that’s Bollywood for you. Unpredictable, interesting and highly exciting.

Just when one thought that all Ram Gopal Verma was interested in was to churn out innumerous flicks by his in-house directors through the gates of his Factory, he has gone ahead and signed a film for en outside production house and even started shooting for the film.

The production house is none other T-Series that has recently made feel-good love stories films like ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye’ and ‘Lucky No Time For Love’. On the other hand RGV is known for his hard hitting dramas. Hence the film’s genre is a mix of both schools of filmmaking i.e. a musical-romantic thriller, which stars Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and Esha Deol.
