Why ‘Main Jahan Rahoon’ is Himesh at his best?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,February 05 2007]

Himesh Reshammiya is one entertainer who evokes extreme reactions from different people. Since the last one and a half years he has emerged as one of the biggest names in Bollywood. His singing created a furore. So did his oh-so-prolific composing. Then there was a point when he sounded repetitive. Even his obsession with his own voice started getting on nerves (Red, Dil Diya Hai, Rocky are a few examples). And when you felt you can’t survive another film album from the man-with-the-cap, he comes up with ‘Namastey London’, one of his best works as a composer.

Although, people will feast on ‘Chakna Chakna’, ‘Rafta Rafta’, ‘Dilruba’ and ‘Aanan Faanan’, I think the best song is ‘Main Jahan Rahoon’. Magnificently sung by Rahat Fath Ali Khan and ably supported by Krishna, this sufi song boasts of a good mix of classical effectiveness as well as wonderful strings arrangements in the background. Javed Akhtar’s lyrics are an asset for taking the song on a different level. Thankfully Himesh didn’t sing this number. For, although his voice is good but an overexposure of anything leads to a lack of novelty value.

Here’s hoping Himesh will extract good work from quality singers and use his own voice selectively.
