I was lucky that i got to go to Ap Ka Surror and wanted to post a review for those of you who won't be able to go.
I went to the show in Trenton and there was about 2,000-3,000 people!! 👏.. Good For himmesh!!
I was SOo xcited to see my favorite ppl.. Himmesh, ViniT and hImani .. and i wasn't dissappointed.
The Show started Off w// Vinit.. He came out lOoking cute as usual in black pants, a black shirt, and a black leather jacket.. whos back had the letter V in silver sparkles. Yes, for those of you who have been wondering, he has been growing a mustache and his hair is mUCh longer... i missed the Old look.. but i dnt luv this vinit any less. He was wearing platform shoes (w// a 2 inch heel).. and came on to stage, very relaxed and calm. Just as the MC was about to leave, he said to the audience... do you want hurr to leave??? .. nd we all shouted NO.. and then he sang the song Tera Naam for her. It was Soo sweet! As usual he had very good voice quality and he performed very well. Vinit then sang another song (I can't believe i forgot which one... sorry about that).. and left the stage.
Himani was then introduced and she came in w// black pants, a black tank top, and a black poncho (with a silver lining, and silver sparkles on it)... she seemed very confident and her first song was Om Nimashiva from Banaras. She performed very good, and her singing was AMAZing ! She then kiCked it up w// 24/7 i think of you from 36 China Town. She thanked the audience and left the stage.
Then Abhijeet Sawant was introduced. He came in w/// black pants, a black suave jacket and a white t-shirt inside. He also seemed very confident and I was suprised at how good his voice quality was. He sang Mohbat Lutunga .. from his album and the Crowd seriousli went WILD!... He then sang the songs Mar Jawan Mit Jawan (Ashiq Banaya Appan) and Janabe ALi. I was suprised at how much he could bring the crowd into singing w// him. In performing I felt he copied Sonu Nigam's style a little bit...by going faster at the end and moving his hands.. dn't realli know how to discribe it.. he then left the stage w// the audiennce all CraZied up.
Uditya then came on stage and did a medley of songs from the her movie: aksar. First she did Soniye, then Janabe Janiya, and ended with Lagi Lagi Lagi. I've always herd that she's very pretty soo i was suprised to see that i didn't think so. She had sparkly pink jeans and a sparkly pink top and her face was COVEred w// make-up. However, she did do a very good dance performance. Thanks to the coegrapher it was very entertaining.
Alisha was introduced w// a video footage of her and all her past movie songs and came in w// a white dress on. She perfomed very well but i wasn't to pleased w/ her voice. Forgive me all Alisha fans but i felt her voice was breaking apart. She sang Mera India and was a good crowd puller!
Then the time came:: For Himmesh Ji..
They showed a video footage w// all his past songs, (mostli wat we saw in the commercial) and then like all his songs aashiq banya appane, zarra jhoom, etc. It was about a 3-4 minute video and i knew at once when the crowd started ROARING at the video that it was to get the Crowd all wild and excited for the big entry. HImmesh came in, not like the others (xcept Vinit didn't either) singing, he came in in his regular old self. He was in his classic look; black shirt, black hat, and a black coat. He wore jeans and black platform shoes. Though he was already tall the shoes has a two inch heel on them. It was sooo nice of Himmesh b/C the mike had been faulty all evening (maybe tas yy i felt Alisha was breaking up).. and he waited for the crew-men to give him a good mike before he started talkin'g to us. He asked us .. how we wurr, and he thanked us for all our support.. and said that w/o us he would't be able to reach where he was today. He talked to us in between songs and made us laugh.. and got the Crowd Soo pumped up .. and craZy that half the audience was up on their feet dancing along w/ him, screaming and clapping. He sang these songs: Aashiq Banaya Appane, Ap Ka Surror, Janabe Janiya, Naam Hai Tera Tera, Allah Kare, I love you oh soyyoni, Hum Ko Dewane Kar Gaya, Samjo Nah, and Phir Hera Pheri. I'm pretty sure that's it but it was up there for a long time, just entertaiing us .. soo i may have forgotten a few. When he was done, every11 was sorri to see him leave the stage...
After that was done, there was a little breaker when a funny guy came up to do an act. I admit i was like, what is he doing here, let's get to the real stuff. However, to give him credit he was pretty halarious. He did imitations of all the stars and .. their dogs. lolZ.. pretty funni
Then the hosts announced; For the first time ever on stage together (i gess they wurr talkin bout' not including Sa Re Ga Ma Pa)).. HImmesh.. and ??? i was thinking Alisha but it was atucalli our darling VINIT!!!! First Himmesh came on stage announcing sorri tat Vinit is taking so loNG.. i foRced him to wear his TopEe.. lolZ!!.. Then when he COmes he's like my dearish shisha Vinit ((Vinit was holding a white topee and hImmesh puts it on his head)) Then himmesh said, I'm happi to annonce that w// God's grace Vinit's song from Rocky will be realeasing on Sunday and he Hopes//Knows that Vinit will go far.. and asked for us to support him!
They're about to sing the song, when Himmesh says, this is not my mike. This is not the mike that i began w//.. and then when no11 comes he says OK can you hear good w// this mike?? .. and the audince screams YES!!.. nd he's like ok .. tonite we'll see iff Avvas ki Jaddo Comes out of ny mikes ((somethin like that.. i forgot the dialouge)).. VInit laughed.. soo good 22 see them 2gether. They sing a song… OMG I cnt believe I forgot what they sang.. all I know is that they sang amazing together.. I did notice something though. When Himmesh is around.. Vinit is more performy, and looks more confident, has a better voice quality. He seems MUCh more confident when Himmesh is around.. as if he's thinking now that my mentor's here.. nothing can go wrong.. I mite be mistaken but that's wat i observed ((which i thought was prettIi cute)).. yOu culd tell that Himmesh and Vinit realli did have a special bond it was soo sweet.
After they finish the song, the crowd is going wild (as usual in the concert).. and i was SUprised at how wilded up NJ was.. NJ is prettii quiet .. Himmesh truly did perform magiC.
Himmesh then announces that in the Grand Finale they never did wat they promised as to annonce Vinit'S love.. b/C TV.. was well TV ... He said but i want to announce it LIve in front of you.. what do you guys say.. Do you want to kno Vinit's Mohobaat??.. and we scream ((obviousli)) YES!!.. and then Vinit and him have a cute little argument (culd tell it was planned but it was Soo adorable)… bout wether he should tell or not… Himmesh was like I cant disspaoint so mani fans.. nd u rr my chale.. but all im gonna say is now hurr comes Himani.. nd the crowd was like Ohh.. nd Himmesh says it doesn't mean that his love is hImani.. but we'll see.. and he gives a sorta wink.. and Vinit meanwhile is shaking his head.. no no.. it was cute !! 😉
Vinit and Himani Sing SOniye together.. iT was SOO GOoD... they voices truly match each other's well... of course i saw them perform this song on EMET .. but to hear it live was amazing!
After they are done, Himmesh calls upon Abhijeet and together they do the songs Just Chill and Are Are... himani and vinit wurr sincrinZed nd looked soo good together.. himmesh and abhijeet wurr wandering around the stage to different corners screamin at the fans.. Good meledyy 2gether..
Then Alisha came again on stage.. and sang Kajre Re and No Entry ((this time she was wearing a black dress)). My same opinions from above remained!
Uditya then came again.. In black and white jeans and a sparkly black and white tank top. She danced to the songs Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me, Aadat, Move your bodi grl, and Woh Lahme. Again, Props to the coegrapher, the dance coegraphy was aMAzing!!
HiMmesh came upon stage oNce moRE.. nD said I dnt just come her to sing for you.. i come her b/C i feel an emotional connection towards you GuyZz.. it was SOo sweet to hear it from his mouth. He sang APP ki KashiSh.. and then sang A-A-A Aashiq Te Meri. Again half the crowd was up, claaping, dancing, and cheering him on. And then he stopped the song in the middle and said I want ALL your support, b/C i need ALL your support to survive.. it touChed me soo muCh i got my dad up and danCing.. i was like tas It... and so did the whole hall. EVERYONE was up.. from little children to grandpas and grandmas and everyone in between. We wurr just dancing and danCIng.. and he then began the song A-A-A Aashiq Te Meri again. At that moment i forgot bout everything else.. and was just danciNG.. nd soo was the whole audienCe!!!. his voice was truly superb. He then Did Zarra Jhoom Jhoom and the effect didn't wear off. He then said.. i want to thank those who i realli owe a lot of my success to and that is the bacha parti... who have supported me for a lONg long time. He called about 30 kids up on stage and then Sang Jalak Dhiklajan (Finale).. He sanG IT like 5 times.. it was like he didnt want the nite to end... he sang it first w// the bacha parti, then w// organiZers, and then he called Vinit, Himani, and Abhijeet on stage and sang it w// them. Vinit looked SOo happi and all danCy.. No seriousli he Danced like craZi.. i was amAZed how mUCh he like.. idk??? loved his mentor.. it was sweet.. and soo was the whole arena.. Then he ended i dnt want this nite to end.. but it has too.. but we'll meet again.. i promise yo that.... nd everyone got off stage.. it was a moment of sadness (that the nite was over) and Oh wow that show was amAZing...
OveralL review: Himmesh Ji roCked it... i've been to shows w// Akshay Kumar, Hirtiik Roshan, SRK, but i've never seen a response like this.. THE whole areana was up and clapping.. i swear! Vinit.. my little darling has grown up.. nD i hope he just stays Innocent nd out of the Controversies in our industry.. he's still 17 for god sakes... but he did Rock it .. and i was very proud of him.. Himani was awesome as usual and Abhijeet Suprised me how good he was... Alisha hmZz.. no comment but Uditya danced very well.. All in all a good nite
(Sorri for the long review... idk if anyones gonna read this.. but i felt obligated to share.. ))
