Hairy Himesh and the Mane Makeover

They say money can't buy you love but one thing's for sure - it buys you HAIR! Check this pic which appeared in Mumbai Mirror yesterday.

Himesh Reshammiya, without the quintessential baseball cap. Himesh Reshammiya with hero ishtyle, shoulder length hair!

Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, he says: "This is a subject of much curiosity, or should I say inquizitivenes? Everyone wants to know my hair story but I will tell it some other day..."

Yeah and do tell us where you took advanced English classes. Inquijitive jaise shabd aapke mooh se pehle to nahin sune...

In other Himesh related news, his new album is out. I mean Dashavtaram, the Kamal Hasan film he has composed for. Yup, the same one which has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Mallika Sherawat 'outraging' Tamilian modesty and so on.

Mallikaji has a way of attracting these controversies of course but in this case I say she was just being 'in character'. Check out her pic on the CD cover of Dashavtaram - isn't that exactly what she wore to the album launch?

And note the thunder thighs... Wonder if they're real or digitally enhanced to suit the tastes of cinegoers down South!

As for 'music', it is not good, not bad - just ok. Although I am not a Himesh fan I can see that some of his songs have a 'stick in my head' quality. These songs don't, except Oh Sanam ho Sanam (maybe). There is one nice song though - Mukunda Mukunda - a soothing and totally unHimesh like number.

Please note Himesh hasn't sung any of the songs, which is a good thing or a bad thing depending on your feelings towards the singer!

By the way there are 5 songs in all + 1 remix version. And so they have bundled in a bonus CD - 'Greatest Hits of Himesh'.

Hey wait, listening to this CD several times a day would be a hair-raising experience. Could that be the secret of Himeshbhai's hairy makeover?
