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?

  1. Hi Rashmi,
    The songs are ok. 'Oh Oh Sanam' is good and so is "Kallai Mattum' (Don't know the Hindi lyrics).Kallai Mattum is the opening song..

    Overall the film is bound to be a totally different one with Kamal Haasan telling that "It has bits of Ramanujar and bits of Al Gore in it'. It is said to have some subtle messages regarding the environment. Waiting to see this movie and also for your review after you see it :-)

  2. 'Thunder Thighs'? Really?

    Where did you learn that word. I know all the guys know this word [thanks to 'special' websites] but I didn't know you would know the guy lingo. ;)

  3. Ms. Sherwat is leaps and bounds ahead of her contemporaries for sure. I recently came across a news that Ms. Sherwat asked and got three crores and fifty lakhs for a single ad: the highest fee apparently paid so far to a model in Indian advertising, more than, hold you breathe, Kareena zero-figure Kapoor, Katrina I am-not-Sallu’s-Girlfriend Kaif, Priynaka Waiting-for- Harman’s- Debut- Chopra or even Aishwarya I- can’t- act -for -nothing Rai Bachchan. She also got her away with Himesh and charged 1 and half crorers just for a few scenes earlier, for the film Aap Ka Suroor. If sources are to believed, she has some of the best projects in hand in her hand, and some new endorsements too.

    Yes, the Mallika Sherawat picture definitely looks doctored for the southern taste. Looks like Ms. Sherwat is bracing for another controversy. Say Hello to "Thunder Thighs": Who maketh them big without my permission! ! It’s about time Miss Quotable Quotes gives us one of her “unforgettable lines”.
    Way to go!

    ... a humble threat on your blog. Also, someone thinks you will have CASES filed against you. The next few threads should make for interesting read I assume :)

  10. why do you say it like it's a matter of shame to like thunder thighs?
    south indians like healthy indian women... not anorexic punjabi-kashmiri size zero frames achieved after months of starvation which the mainstream media so likes to venerate.
    and that's something to be proud of.
