One of the most talented Music Directors and Singers in Bollywood. He's been the most popular singer in the past decade for all of India. His concerts are as big as star actors like Shah Rukh Khan. His voice and style is well recognized all across the country. Truly a popular figure.

But besides for being very popular, he is also a very talented music composer. These days he is into acting, but when he put all his time into music, a lot of his movies were chartbusters. I remember once seeing a Top 10, nearly the whole list consisted of Himesh's movies. Some of his best music hits include, Tere Naam, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Humraaz, Airtraaz, Aashiq Banaye Aapne, and the list goes on. He has won best Music Director for Tere Naam from both Star Screen and Zee TV.

On top of this, he is also one of the best singers we have. He was the universal playback singer of the year in 2006. In other words, every award show gave him the award. There was no debate about it. He beat the rest of the bollywood through his singing, in his very first song.

Here's a look back at the Playback Singer of the Years in the past decade from 2002 and on:

2002: Udit Naryan
2003: Sonu Nigam
2004: Sonu Nigam
2005: Kunal Ganjawala
2006: Himesh Reshammiya
2007: Shaan
2008: Shaan
2009: Sukhwinder Singh

Truly an elite list. And it's not just Filmfare (The highest prestiged Award Function) that gave it to him, he also received it from Star Screen, Zee TV, IIFA, and the list goes on. Like I said, he was universally the best playback singer in bollywood that year. And for accomplishments like these, you are remembered forever.

Here are some of his best songs

Aashinq Banaya Aapne (Award Winning Performance)

Jhalak Dikhla Jaa

Naam Hai Tera
(I personally think this is arguably his best)

Tera Suroor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS5WpLdGS_U

Lut Jaaon Lut Jaaon

Everytime I hear his voice, it feels like I'm listening to a legend, I then realize, I am listening to a legend, a living legend. I wish him all the best in acting too. He's already proven himself in Music Directing and Singing. If I had to name of The Top 5 singers and Top 5 Music Directors in Bollywood today (objectively), Himesh would be in both lists. Now that is impressive.




Feel Free to Add More!
I'll edit my original post with other people's favorite/best singing performances by Himesh.

He is a very good person and good MD as well as singer.
He is short temper as he has struggled a lot in his life. He is supports singers truly. Vineet is at this position b'cos of him.
He is very emotional but not at all cunning or shroud like other MD. He is straight forward to your face kind of person.
He is a very gentle and low key person...People should try to see more of his good side.

the number of hit composition, the number of super hit record breaking chartbuster songs HR has done is no match to any singers and music directors in bollywood history. according to times of india, HR has been the first ever composer or singer in bollywood history that gave minimum of 36 chartbuster songs in a single year in 2006.


35 thousand packed concert show worldwide including packed shows in USA, UK, including the world famous Wembley stadium in London & and Holland's Heineken stadium is where only Himesh Reshammiya, the only bollywood singer sang and performed, its a dream of no chance for any other singers in bollywood cos no one has been able to do that kind of massive concert show and that too in very expensive international stadium like WEMBLEY and Heinekin.




.

in terms of his new acting career, how many actors in history of bollywood gave first hit in first film? not many but Himesh did with Aap Ka suroor.

yes his other 2 films didn't do well but recovered enough money thru music sell.


if 2 films flopping means bad actor than, is Salman bad actor or can't act?

Salman gave 2 to 3 flops in row, which are gud tussi great ho and Yuvraaj and recently Main aur mrs khanna.

Is Abhishek bachan bad actor or can't act, cos he gave 2 flops in row, which are Drona and delhi 6.




HR is the real deal about the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If u don't have adequate knowledge about India music industry, then it's ok, plz don't insult it by saying Himesh is the biggest and greatest music director..

What kind of chartbuster u r taking about.. have u heard about Mr RD Burman, Madan Mohan.. AR REheman... and Pritam, Vishal shekhar..

what kind of music himesh has been composing.. only rock music and that too nasal singing...

Only Riskha drivers love his longs,

Have u seen when AR reheman does live shows , what is the respond to his concerts..

Do u have any idea how many hits Mr AR reheman has given..

Mr AR Reheman Made india proud by winning Oscar , and u say HR is biggest music director...

In old times there was no Overseas concerts,,otherwise RD burman, Madan mohan others would have surpassed anything..

have u ever heard how melodious is their music composition and singing..

u compare HR with them..



Even recently Sonu Nigam did a concert in USA and do u have any idea what was the respond.

Because u like HR, that doesn't mean he is the biggest and most succesful singer and composer...

He just get success for last few years..

For how many front line heroes he sang so far apart from akhay kumar

and u r taking him as an actor..

Have u seen his acting at all??

U compare him with Salman khan, who is still running bollywood even at the age of 45 and he is here for last 20 yrs.
Even if himesh will do 50 movies , can he be comparable to Dineo maria, u r comparing him to Salman khan...

In movie Karzzz the only saving grace was Dino meria..

Plz check the reality an talk...

Just don't bluff

And in addition to that aap ki suroor was an average movie , not a hit...

Wow no one said Himesh was better than AR Rahman. AR Rahman is the best music director. We know. ktopden was just saying Himesh is an excellent Music Director as well.

Also, it's a fact that no other singer has been able to match Himesh's concert success. Himesh's concert success was on par with actors like Shah Rukh Khan's concert success.


But haters need to calm down. No one was comparing HR to AR. Himesh is just a great music director as well, and thats all that was said. Yeah he set a record for number of chartbuster songs in a single year. No surprise there. Doesn't make him better than AR though. So please YOU need to stop making these outlandish comparisons between Himesh and AR. Both are great.

I had strongly supported him during C-5 but since then he has become haughty with surge in success of his music( as singer) and then his first movie.
wud still support him, provided he remains grounded.
There is no need to shout at top of one's voice to get a message across...hope he gets this, sooner than later...will do him a lot of good.
I love Himesh-Kunal combo n hope they come back wid more good n romantic tracks.
