WhatWhat ails Reshammiya?

Himesh Reshammiya What's vexing music composer Himesh Reshammiya? Viewers observed a sullen Reshammiya at the recent Zee awards when he was adjudged Best Singer. He opened his acceptance speech by saying, "Hope this proves a point. I will be even better next year. I am grateful to God, dad and Salman Khan." Earlier, at the MTV awards where he reaped two prizes (Best Singer and Music) he began by saying, "Yeh awards maine kharide nahin hai!" He has received the Filmfare award for Best Singer as well as the Stardust awards for Best Singer and New Talent. With a bagful of honours, why does he appear so upset — and what's he so bitter about? I'm not arrogant "Nothing, absolutely nothing," claims Reshammiya. "I am thankful and grateful to everyone for the response my songs have fetched. Maybe, I am not good at humour; or maybe my straight-faced look makes people think it's attitude. But it's not that way at all. If that's what people felt after watching me on TV, let me clear it — Himesh is not bitter about anything. I am not arrogant. I am happy to be recognised as a hit singer and composer." So what provoked him to say what he did at the Zee and MTV events? "That's because basically I am a music composer. Some people in the industry felt, 'can Himesh sing?' I am a trained singer; I have received classical training. All the tracks I have sung so far have been chartbusters. So also is my album, Aap Ka Surroor. I just wanted to say that a composer can sing too — and be hugely successful. Moreover, there was this cyclone when we landed at Mauritius for the Zee awards — so it was just a bit uncomfortable and that maybe showed up on my face. As I always say, I am grateful to the Almighty for giving me success, for dad for guiding me and for Salman for remembering and giving me that promised break as composer." With regard to the MTV awards, he claims, "The event had a lot of fun and young elements, with a lot of wisecracks being made by everyone. I did my bit too. I said, 'Hello, yeh awards maine kharide nahin hai!' If that was construed as arrogance, it was wrong. I guess I can't play to the gallery." Rahman nawazi Reshammiya says he is not carried away by success. "It is difficult to consistently give hits. I treat every film as my very first. The industry works from Friday to Friday. I have to better myself. Moreover, I am not promoting myself as a singer. It is Himesh Reshammiya the composer who decides whether Himesh Reshammiya the singer fits in." Would he sing for another composer? "Only if it the composer is A R Rahman. I respect him a lot and he was the first to tell me what a great track Aashiq Banaya was," says Reshammiya. Himesh's films include… Deepak Tijori's Tom Dick and Harry —he has sung the Jhoom Jhoom track Abbas-Mustan's 36 China Town — rendered the title track Satish Kaushik's Milenge Milenge Feroz Nadiadwala's Phir Hera Pheri and Fool and Final (has sung one number in Phir Hera Pheri) Anil Sharma's Apne Pankaj Parasher's Benares Dharmesh Darshan's Aap Ki Khatir

Deepika Padukone in Kannada film

Deepika and Himesh's surreal reality Model Deepika Padukone (the Liril and Close-up girl ), who is currently making waves on TV in composer Himesh Reshammiya's music video, has now finalised for her movie debut. Even as there were reports that Deepika was being singled out by Farah Khan for her next film, Happy New Year, the svelte daughter of former All-England (World) badminton champion, Prakash Padukone, has gone ahead and signed a Kannada film. Aishwarya connection "The film is called Aishwarya," says Deepika, "and I am cast opposite Kannada superstar Upendra (he played Sanjay Dutt's character in the Kannada version of Munnabhai, called Uppidada MBBS, expected to release shortly), with Indrajit Lankesh directing. It is a performance-based role, and as I am from Bangalore, I can speak Kannada fluently," Padukone explains. Deepika Padukone with Himesh Reshammiya in his music video Surreal video Why did she make her showbiz debut with a music video, when she was negotiating with various filmmakers for her Bollywood break? "Music-video offers kept coming in, but nothing had excited me that much. When Himesh and his sister Roopa Chadha (she is the stylist) and the video director, Prashant Chadha, called me to their office, they made me hear the song — Naam Hai Tera. Somehow, I connected with the music, which has a fusion of western rock and Indian melody. My gut-feeling gave me the green signal to go ahead. I also liked the surreal concept — where the guy has gone through heartbreak, and now meets my character, symbolising optimism and hope. Besides, it was decent, with no vulgarity. After this assignment, I don't think I'll take up more music videos. My prime focus will now be Hindi movies," insists the model-actress, who has completed a three-month acting course under the tutelage of Anupam Kher

Let's pray to GOD that Himeshjo comes out with real soulful music in future !We wish him all the very best 👍🏼

Himesh will surely go a lot ahead.

Rewind 2005 - top albums of the year that was

Indo-Asian News Service

Mumbai, January 3, 2006

As always, the best weren't necessarily the bestsellers. Though the year remained sharply slumped, for the music industry there were bright spots throughout 2005.

You wished Himesh Reshammiya's work in Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye, Vivek Philips's My Brother Nikhil and Vishal-Shekhar's Home Delivery were more appreciated. But what the yell! You've to take the sounds that come your way and be content with the echoes.

Here's looking at the creatively and commercially successful soundtracks of the year:

1. Mera Kuch Saaman: Gulzar should celebrate his birthday every six months. At least the music companies would ensure there's an album of this calibre at least twice a year. An anthology where the poet-lyricist-moviemaker-scholar-thinker handpicked his lyrics. What's more, the collection featured a list of every single lyric that Gulzar saab ever wrote.

Result? An album you can go back to repeatedly without getting tired. Definitely one of the musical highlights of the year, Mera Kuch Saaman garnered the best sales among the anthologies of the year.

2. Bunty Aur Babli: From Kuch Naa Kaho to Kal Ho Naa Ho to this massy and rumbustious ode to spirited musicality, Shankar-Ehsan-Loy have been evolving rapidly. The songs in Bunty Aur Babli demonstrated verve and vitality. Singer Sunidhi Chauhan's opening invitation in Dhadak dhadak set the pace. By the time the album chugged to its feverish finale with the epoch making qawwali Kajra re, the verdict was out: the score has been Yash Raj music's biggest money-spinner to date.

3. Zinda: Alive and ticking. At year-end, just when we though we had heard and seen it all, came this shocker of a knocker. For Sanjay Gupta, music directors Vishal-Shekhar designed a score that bore the wounds and marks of a lacerated humanity.

The songs were anxious, energetic and emphatically punctuated by pain... a remarkable album from a filmmaker who broke every musical rule in Kaante and Musafir. Throaty, husky and smouldering, the vocals rip a hole in your soul. This is crossover music at its coolest, most promising. Apparently, T Series allowed Sanjay Gupta to do his own thing without interference.

4. Dus: You didn't need dus bahaane to like Vishal-Shekhar's tracks in this album of snazzy snap-and-crackle tunes. While singers Shaan and KK whooped it up in the chartbusting title song, it was the powerful music video accompanying the track with Abhishek Bachchan and Zayed Khan that did the trick. People simply got out of their seats and danced. The audio sales for Dus were so high they exceeded the film's box office revenues.

5. Parineeta: Music director Shantanu Moitra's silken stab at old-world music conveyed a quaint, though hardly dynamic charm. The best part of the music was the delicacy of the arrangements. The melodies were passable though not quite the volcanic curios they were expected to be. Trust Sunidhi Chauhan to smoulder up the soundtrack with her seductive Kaisi paheli hai yeh zindagani.

6. Rang De Basanti: After the disappointing Mangal Pandey, music composer AR Rahman returned to form with this fabulously designed album of feel-glued music that offered a 'young' probing sound and outstanding lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. From a mother missing her son (a historic coming together of Lata Mangeshkar and Rahman) in Lukka chuppi to the youth anthem Khalbali, the score spanned a century of feelings.

7. Aashiq Banaya Aapne: You can't keep this one out. Actor Emraan Hashmi has all the luck in the world. The songs that he sings on screen have a way of hitting home. So what do we say about Himesh Reshammiya's nasal Sufi-rock rendition of the title song which rocked the nation? Even the other tracks namely Aapki kashish sarfarosh hai and Marjawa mitjawa were chart-toppers.

Though Himesh's work in Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye and Kyon Ki were far superior, he seems to have found his mtier in the rock-Sufi style.

8. Kalyug: From Dil tadap tadap in Madhumati to Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's Jiya dhadak dhadak, the Kalyug track is probably the best dhadak-dhadak song of the year. Its romantic appeal was so earthy and raw as to provide a counterpoint to Himesh's Aashiq banaya aapne. This one track alone afforded a worldview into traditional Sufi sounds as they should, and must, sound in the present day and age.

9. You've Stolen My Heart: Kronos Quartet: The US jazz quartet got together with Asha Bhosle to work on some of late music director R.D. Burman's choicest chants. And boy, did they kick up a storm.

10 best songs of 2005:

Mausam ki adla-badli from Black
Le chalen le chalen from My Brother Nikhil
Shayad yehi to pyar hai from Lucky: No Time For Love"
Dheere jalna from Paheli
Tauba tauba from Kaal
Kajra re from Bunty Aur Babli
Dus bahane from Dus
Jiya dhadak dhadak from Kalyug
Woh lamhe from Zeher
Just chill from Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya

Pakistan's Latest Export

ICE PEOPLE: Ali Zafar

Abhilasha Ojha / New Delhi October 05, 2005

Ali Zafar keeps bouncing back into the news, over and over again and whenever things are quiet, he re–enters with a big bang.

Music director Himesh Reshammiya must be a content man. While his soundtrack for the film Aashiq Banaya Aapne is topping the charts, he's also managed to make a decent debut as a singer for the same movie. Meanwhile, a conference call to Pakistan from Indian music company Universal Music has artiste Ali Zafar reeling in a state of shock.

His popular track Rangeen has been plagiarised and used in Aashiq Banaya Aapne — for which Reshammiya is grabbing the credits — without his consent. Released in June 2005, Rangeen was the first music video from his debut album in India called Huqa Pani.

Rangeen made Zafar very popular and the Indian music industry can't seem to have enough of him. Ad film-maker Prahlad Kakkar calls him the Shah Rukh Khan of Pakistan — he has directed him for a Pepsi commercial and rumours are rife that Mahesh Bhatt is keen to cast him in one of his films.

Born in Lahore, this 25-year-old has also done modelling assignments that helped him make some pocket money. But his heart was in music and Zafar continued with his classical training. Huqa Pani that was released in 2003.

The album sold a whopping five million copies and Zafar toured 11 different countries. Now, with the international release of the same album by Universal Music, Zafar is clearly here to stay

HImeshji music for the track aap ki suroor is a copy !
