Apne (Hindi - Himesh Reshammiya)

Ankh vich and Mehfuz have all the trappings of a standardized Himesh track, topped with his strong nasality (!) but strangely, the tunes are pretty good. Dekhoon tujhe has some ambient gothic backgrounds and the two things that annoy include the main song and that morose rhythm! The earthy simplicity in the title song and Tere sang definitely works – huge thanks to Sonu and Jaspinder’s rendition. Regardless of boxing being the film’s background, Bulls eye reminds you more of your breakfast while the feeling is about rhyming, unmentionable bovine excreta. Despite the obvious, tiresome monotony, some good tunes save Apne.

Keywords: Himesh Reshamiyya, Dharmendra, Basanti, suicide, Sunny Deol, Sunny Deol, Shilpa Shetty, Katrina Kaif

I am amazed at the keywords “Basanti, suicide” and the spelling of Reshammiya as Reshamiyya.

Anyways, this isn’t a bad album. The things that go against it are
–>Sameer’s ultra-predictable lyrics.
–>Himesh’s singing in songs like Dekhu Tujhe.
–>Less experimentation with the orchestra.
–>A piece in Ankh Vich is same as in Lonliness(RED).

Yaju: Thanks for pointing out the spelling error in the name….I had actually wanted the ‘mm’ spelling in the title and the ‘yy’ name in the keywords, so that people who search with the wrong one could perhaps find this review. Somehow ended up inter-changing both, should be careful in the future.

The Basanti and Suicide keywords were intentional…just having some fun!
