Yup, they’re the talk of the town now… everyone’s discussing them in the real world, and i’ve seen at least 5 blogs which talk about it in detail… am still wondering what exactly is it that makes people hate HR so much, but makes sure that his record sales are still setting records… now, wait a second, before we create any further confusion, let me set the record straight… this has nothing to do with the personnel policies of companies, its more to do with the personal quirks of him, who makes you go ‘resham, miya please stop!!’..
so what exactly is it – the trademark cap or the ‘I support facial hair’ look or the noice (nose+voice).. that gets on so many people’s nerves? from the guys in ‘The great Indian Comedy Show’ who did a spoof by removing the cap and showing a bald head to guys all around who exhibit hitherto unknown violent tendencies, they are either making fun of him or want to cut his throat/nose…until sometime back, he was a national treasure, now he faces national censure..
the initial songs, specially the ones featuring the serial kisser were extremely popular, in their original version, as well as the club remixes… i see a pattern with what happened to sonu nigam…all was going good with him too, until he started making appearances in his album videos,his popularity reached an abyssmal low, before (i think) he got the message… wonder if HR will understand that the public are singing ‘jhalak mat dikhlana’, and restrict himself to providing just the music…
until next time, sayonee, if you are reading this, he loves you more than junoon..he really does..
P.S: small update in previous bits…;)
So you admit it! One gets used to that grating nasal twang, what?
But the ghost story is superb- heard that one?

jhalak mat dikhlaja, hamesha ja ja ja ja ja ja ja.
I got creative.
subtelety is and art not many are expert at.
For a second there, I thought you were refering to Human Resources. Glad you cleared the confusion before it got any more confusing. 🙂
Well, Sonu Nigam dug a proper burial for himself once he showed up in movies, not contented with 5 min videos. And that’s when we decided – that’s it.
Wait till you see HR in his next Avatar – The archetypal bollywood hero, wooing his heroine in style – cap et all…and that’s when India will decide once for all – Jhalak (mat) dikhla ja…
Well, when all music directors refused to compose another ‘Pyaar kiya to darna kiya’, this guy came up with a decent tune.
Other than that he is CRAP..total CRAP with a CAP.
i too thought u were talking of HR as in at work! 🙂
austere: yup, did… in fact Sunday Mid Day’s kopykatman had a reference to it too.. 🙂
arunima: so long as you dont start singing like him 🙂
deez: some people dont know it exists 🙂
phatichar: i hope not !!
stone: yup, thats where it all began..
prero: the initial idea was to do one of my old style stories around the idea… but i thought it would be too confusing 🙂
Yes.HR’s music has got a bit too repetitive.And his voice too.But I think it is more of the producer’s decision to use his voice (and face) than his own will.Just a cheap marketing strategy to cash in on the current craze.
