"When there is faith there is no fear." True enough, Himesh had immense faith in himself, his entire team, be it the 'ever-by-his side' lyricist, Sameer or the music video director of his super-successful albums, Prashant Chadha, the generous producer Vijay Taneja and above all, the millions of fans who have made him the unquestionable numero uno of the music industry!
His foray into acting was taken as a joke, his nasal singing criticized to death by the critics. But he proves his detractors wrong once again, as the promos of the movie have come in with much praise. They have stunned the audience, sending his fans into a frenzy yet again. Trade pundits predict a healthy opening for his 'Aap Kaa Surroor'.
The first composition of the album, 'Assalaam Vaalekum' (Peace be upon you in Arabic), commences in a concert like manner, with a rap like introduction in English by Earl, followed by the greeting Assalaam-Vaalekum. Then Himesh says "Har insaan ne kisi na kisi se pyaar kiya hai, Maine aap sab ne, To usee pyaar ke naam zindagi qurbaan."
The promos, featuring this superb composition have already stunned most, and after listening to the whole number, we can say, "rightly so." From melodious to rhythmic, the total musical arrangement with Arabian music playing a large part, the qawwali chants, Himesh's "full of feelings" singing and not to mention Sameer's superb use of apt Urdu words (like 'mohtarma' meaning lady), take this song to the highest level of excellence. A winner all the way.
'Assalaam-Vaalekum - Remix' by Akbar Sami starts off in Himesh's broken vocals, followed by the mind-blowing 'Assalaam-Vaalekum' tune. Akbar does a fantastic job, the enhanced pace is just right to keep the intoxicating charm of the original intact.
