Himesh Reshammiya FANCLUB Part 5!!! - Page 37

MUMBAI: The music of Mukta Arts' Good Boy Bad Boy was released formally by actor Anil Kapoor on 5 April 2007 at Cinemax, Mumbai.

Also present at the launch were actors Tusshar Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi, Tanushree Dutta, director Ashwini Choudhary and Tips' Kumar Taurani. Speaking at the launch, Subhash Ghai said, "Good Boy Bad Boy promises to be yet another family entertainer by national award winning director Ashwini Choudhary." Produced by Mukta Arts Entertainment and music on Tips, Good Boy Bad Boy's music has been scored by by Himesh Reshammiya and the lyrics have been penned by Sameer.

Reshammiya has previously composed for Mukta Arts' 36 China Town, Shaadi Se Pehle and Aitraaz. Ghai is hopeful of repeating past musical success with Good Boy Bad Boy. The film is a college campus story encompassing a comedy of errors brought on due to an inadvertent interchange of the two main protagonists, played by Kapoor and Hashmi.

You are playing role, which has grey shades in 'Shakalaka Boom Boom'.

Even in 'Humraaz' and 'Ajnabee' my roles had grey shades. But here, since it's about rivalry in the music field, it has greater significance.

This is the first time that you're working with Upen Patel, Celina Jaitley and Kangana Ranaut. How was the chemistry between all of you?

All of them are very chilled out professional people. It was good experience to work with them. They are nice people and I hope they stay like that in the future too!

Himesh Reshammiya music is huge plus of 'Shakalaka Boom Boom'.

Himesh has always given good music in my films, be it 'Humraaz' or 'Bardasht'. In fact, in recent times he is ruling the music scene and 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' is no exception to that.

You play a singer/musician in the film. Did you ever try your hand at singing?

I believe everyone wants to be a good singer, but this is one quality which God gives to very few lucky ones.

You have always remained choosy about films.

Rather than calling it choosy, you can say that I work in very few films at a time. But now, all of a sudden, six films of mine are releasing including 'Shakalaka Boom Boom'. We try to space out our films, but certain things are not in our hand as we are just actors and not the producers or distributors of the films.

New Delhi, April 2 (IANS) A.R. Rahman's "Barso re" from "Guru" continues to hold the top slot among Hindi film songs for the week.

The top 10 songs for the week are:

1. "Barso re" - Film: "Guru"; Music Director: A.R. Rahman; Singer: Shreya Ghoshal. The hugely popular song about welcoming the rains and featuring Aishwarya Rai retains its premier position this week too.

2. "Chakna" - Film: "Namastey London"; Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya; Singer: Himesh Reshammiya. A dance number already doing the rounds in discotheques, the song has moved quite a few notches up and landed up in the number two position.

3. "Rabba" - Film: "Hattrick"; Music Director: Pritam; Singer: Labh Janjua. The song has some Punjabi charm to it. Fused with drumbeats and western arrangements, it also qualifies as a dance number.

4. "Aayo ri sakhi" - Film: "Water"; Music Director: A.R. Rahman; Singer: Sukhwinder Singh. A semi-classical song, it shows singer Sukhwinder's versatility and gels with the film's mood.

5. "Dilli" - Film: "Delhii Heights"; Music Director: Rabbi Shergill; Singer: Rabbi Shergill. Though the film has been criticised, music lovers are lapping up the foot-tapping number.

6. "Saiyaan re" - Film: "Salaam-e-Ishq"; Music Director: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy; Singers: Shilpa, Shankar Mahadevan and Loy Mendonsa. A fusion of Indian and Western music, the song with a qawalli touch is a treat to watch. It has moved up five notches this week.

7. "En dino" - Film: "Metro"; Music Director: Pritam; Singer: Soham. A soft romantic rock number boasts of Pritam's creativity and makes its maiden entry on number seven. It might move up in coming weeks.

8. "Rozana" - Film: "Nishabd"; Music Director: Vishal Bharadwaj; Singer: Amitabh Bachchan. "Rozana", an awesomely romantic and sensuous number, nose dived and landed on number eight from number three.

9. "Crazy kiya re" - Film: "Dhoom 2"; Music Director: Pritam; Singer: Sunidhi Chauhan. This is another Aishwarya song on the list. The fast number sets your feet tapping and is a visual treat as well.

10. "Sajanaji vaari" - Film: "Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd"; Music: Vishal-Shekhar; Singers: Sunidhi Chauhan and Shekhar Ravjiani. It's a great track with a folk touch. Sunidhi is at her best in the song, which has amazing dance vibes.
