So in the mood of this very important time, which as you all know has seen a very crucial, pathbreaking event that has left the nation in collective breathless excitement, where one Gujarati man has changed the course of history — the release of ‘The Xposé’ — let us all listen to the song of the year to celebrate this joyous occasion!
Bringing together the nation’s sweethearts, Himesh Reshammiya and Yo Yo Honey Singh, in one frame, the lyricist Shabbir Ahmed (with classics like Policegiri, Enemmy, and Runway: Love Among Gun Shots to his credit. What Runway, you ask? What? Sharam nahi aati tujhe? You haven’t heard Pyaasi Machuriya Chapra ka Paani? Just shut up and leave already, okay? Aur dobara shakal mat dikhaana)…
so yes, Ahmed pens profound lines about the pangs of a woman in the throes of passion, who has to eat ice cream and go to Kashmir to cool herself down. You laugh? This is serious stuff okay! Of course, our hero is in heat too. Kashmir ko Honeymoon Package you say? Yessir!
Himesh bhai can not only sing through his nose, he can also play the trumpet with his voice alone. Dude, that is awesome. He even sings about it (‘Khul ke zara trumpet pyar ka / Hum dono milke baja de’)! Is that cool or what.
Great Gatsby you say? Tsk tsk. Kuch toh sharam karo. You accuse apna Himesh of stealing? Chee chee chee. Himesh has a moustache and Leo does not okay? Also, Himesh’s glass is taller. okay? Your argument is invalid. Also, as a friend pointed out, Leo just smiles too much. Apna Himesh does suave like a boss.
Also, through this story of passion and love, they bring to the forefront very subtly the pain of a nation suffering from neck tremors.
Do you see that party? You see them laughing and dancing despite all that suffering (get out the handkerchief and weep already!)! Every single person. That is deep, okay. And only Himesh can bring this grave issue so delicately into the limelight.
Fans rejoice, there are 17 such epic songs on the soundtrack. Enjoy! Watch. Now.
