Aap Ka Suroor: my take on bhai himesh

this being a democracy and everyone has the right to express his/her opinion. When bhai himesh has the guts to challange the singing style of pancham da i will exercise my right here and well have a pot shot on himesh bhai now that his movie aap ka suroor has gone on the floors. Well those who were into soaps like in mid 1990s(pre sas bahu era) would remember a soap by the name of andaz which in its time ran 175 episodes and was a hit by the standards of that time. Now of course noone can compete with 1000 odd episoded daily soapy syrupy sas bahu intrigue stuff of modern times but in that time, it ws a big hit and i personally liked it too. Bhai himesh gave the title playback of that serial. Then came amar prem another zee tv telecast. Bhai himesh gave music for this too and well that time his main contribution to these two serials wasnt just music but they were produced by him as well. My take is that had bhai himesh stuck with production he might just have given ekta kapoor a sleepless night or two.
Not that i dont like his singing style or anything. I mean he is an okish singer cum producer and has musician genes. But if any of you have heard the sound track of either amar prem or andaz you would know his initial tracks in pyar kiya to darna kya and humraaz are direct rip offs from those and not only that most of his music is unidimensional and his on screen presence shabby. The thing is its just like food. You can have a dish once, twice or thrice but on the forth fifth or sixth occasion you will start looking somewhere else. I frankly have had enough of himesh over the last decade odd and would want him to where he is the best behind the cameras. The reason i am writing this blog today is that today his movie aap ka suroor's trailer was launched. Though the ads were on air for sometime but i thought maybe he is outta his mind, maybe it will all go away or maybe he will shed his trademark beard, cap and worst that constipated look. But i saw this trailer today and well behold himesh bhai is living his fantasy and showing it off on silver screen!! Same old constipated look, cap on hasnt shaved extra couple of days for that extra effect , one side extra hotness in mallika sherawat and on the other a twenty something pure cuteness whom i couldnt get neither can bother.

I am like himesh bhai we know you are imperial music moughul and girls dance to your tunes and everything but please spare the cinema owners the plight of going house empty, the lovey dovy couples who might go in the hall(some guys and gals have wierd notions of dating) and well poor souls like me who do respect you but frankly have had enough of you!!
