The promos of Himesh’s debut film “Aap Ka Suroor” are on the fire and the tunes from the film are catching music-lover’s lips. Actually, Himesh tunes capable to catch anyone’s attraction; never mind, positively or negatively; whatever may be the reason, but his songs are rocking and leading the lists. We must accept that Himesh innovated new era in Bollywood music and he is running the magic single handedly. Before few years, when Bappi Da was ruling like Himesh, the same thoughts were expressed by the people, that Bappi’s music is not long lasting, his sound; his pronunciation is not proper, his tunes lack the melody and will be out of sight within few days. But today, Bappi Da is a legend, and everyone including Indian Classical singers praises his talent. The same thing may apply in Himesh’s case. His voice, nasal pronunciations, high notes, everything was the subject of ridicule for most of the singers and music directors when he launched his first song. Even when his album was in the market, most of the music critics rated it as a one time magic. But all these things were away from reality. His album destroyed all records and a large mob became Himesh fans. He was popular among overseas too due to frequent use of western instruments and electronic sound blows in his songs. Then Himesh era began and his appearance was compulsory in every Masala film of bollywood.

Now, if you ask any music director, or legend in Indian Film Music, he/she will definitely praise Himesh’s style. All criticism and odds are destructed by Himesh’s success. But he was successful not only because he invented rocking tunes but his romantic, slow tunes even are more effective than that of his fast songs. There is one special misery in his sad songs. I remember people enjoyed a lot the sad songs of Kishor Da and Rafi Sahab, and it won’t be exaggeration if I would say that after these two legends, people enjoyed only Himesh especially for sad songs. There is uniqueness in his tunes, even the words themselves feel free to ride on his tunes. That’s why people use to recite full songs in few hearings. He is professional, he is sensible, he is hearty person. I am damn sure that his film is going to be the greatest blockbuster in bollywood and would find the place with Sholey, Kaho Na Pyar Hai and DDLJ like films.

It’s not just the miracle of destiny. There is something in his tunes. His soul involvement, his passion and his faith reflects in his songs. No wonder if Himesh is considered as today’s sensation and tomorrows legend in music industry. He has got public’s point and he is ruling over the music industry of bollywood. Himesh Rocks!
