People here make fun of him but dont realise how popular he is with the masses. Our country India is governed by the middle class and lower middle class groups, which seek entertainment.

Entertainment is what HR has provided to them. They dont see if the song is nasal or in sur or what raag etc. They just know that when they play it, they dance or feel happy or atleast feel some kind of emotion. Thats all they need.

Whats the harm to bring a cheer to these people after all they toil the hardest and deserve it. It is with their blessings that he has made his destiny.

I dont agree with HR when he keeps refering to his haters as 1% because thats not and i have told him that. It is more like 20% which dont like him but then there are 40-60% who love him. Once he realises this, he will be at peace with himself. He has this tendency of pleasing all which is not possible.

Well 1 % people think himesh is bad composer. 10 % to 15 % think he is bad singer. Well its too earrly to tell about his acting skills but I am sure if he works harder he will make big as an actor.

There must be atleast one song which is favourite song composed by himesh among his crticis. If people like atleast one song which is composed by himesh that means they know that himesh as a good composer. Whether himesh is better than ARR or not that is another matter.

In all fairness Himeshji movies are more like music videos. Something very lighthearted. Younger people will enjoy it. I enjoy it thoroughly and hope he produces more of these songs. Some members in my family do not like it though.

A proper serious movie or drama should be able to stand without much songs etc to pep it up. It also needs good serious actors and actresses, and good story line. Himeshji's movie does not fall in this catergory currently. Anyway I find such movies boring but several ladies love such movies.

As for Himeshji's music it appeals to the young. Generally older people and those wanting serious music will have problems with it. As for me it is great. Well to each his own as I am much more open and spend a lot of time listening to Chinese and Japanes music too.

I like HR, the composer. I can't stand HR the singer. I have never watched any of his movies so I can't comment on HR, the actor.

I find him a big show off. He comes across as someone who is full of himself but trying desperately to come across as down to earth. He ends up making a mockery of himself with this dilemma he has.

There is something about him that gets on the nerves big time. Hard to pinpoint what exactly it is but I can't stand him. But I would give it to him for being one heck of a lucky guy and hard working too.

No one can deny that he is successful. Doesn't really matter what percentage of people like him as they are enough to make him a celebrity. He should stop worrying about those who mock him or do not like him. He'll be at peace then and who knows - may end up giving us great music like Banaras and Tere Naam once again😊

In today's world it is easy to become a celebrity. Just act in some B-grade TV serial and you will already be discussed in some online forum and soon you will be doing shows, inauguration of boutiques and being declared a celebrity by 20-somethings. Coming to hard work - let me assure you, just about everyone in the industry is working hard, though just a few get paid obscene amounts of money. Let us not single out Himesh for doing some extraordinary hard work. Yes, he is good in projecting how hard he works. I haven't seen Shankar Mahadevan making a song and drama about his hard work. Often I see people declaring that the very fact we are discussing Himesh in various threads establishes that he is great, adored and a genius. Well, the whole world is talking about the financial crisis, terrorism, super-bugs, global warming and other unwanted phenomenon. Does it mean we adore all these things? Let us just stop the nonsensical theory that liking Himesh's mediocre music is a sign of how young and modern you are! This is such an idiotic argument and I have seen older people declaring they like Himesh simply because they want to be perceived as young! Just putting some fancy beats into some sufi/bhangra tune and screaming one's head off and then mixing all the sounds to make it sound like some dehumanized machine with a muffled voice does not indicate that it is modern music. Let us distinguish between timeless music which will adorn history and mediocre music which is being elevated to history because of hype.
• Why is clever marketing and sales of music being taken as a sign that the music itself is good? In today's world, extensive and relentless marketing gimmickry will ensure that first-day sales itself will recover all the money. Does this indicate that the film or music is a work of genius?
