Bollywood: Most awaited song from Himmatwala

By Rajesh

The sound track of Himmatwala almost revisits the bygone era. The main reason why 1983 film Himmatwala was a great success was because of its super hit soundtrack. And now, composer duo Sajid-Wajid have tried their best to recreate the 1983 magic.

Sung by Mika Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, ‘Taki O Taki’ is a big disappointment as it failed to match up to the original Bappi da’s version. We wonder why Bappi da refused to recompose and relive his own chartbuster tracks.

Well anyway, the song sees Ajay Devgn and Tamanna showing off some rustic moves. We think they were the only saving grace. The song was in the news for over six months and after such a long wait, the results were saddening.

Though director Sajid Khan and actor Ajay Devgn seem confident about their film, the duo are equally nervous too. “I get nervous before my film’s release as there is an added pressure to perform better than the last release,” Ajay said, while Sajid jokingly added, “We are sure of our project so just to avoid buri nazar, Ajay and I used to put kaala tikka on first ten days of our film’s schedule.”

The film is slated to release on 29 March and features Ajay Devgan opposite Tamannaah in the lead roles. Jeetendra and Akshay Kumar will be seen as a special appearance in this film. The 1983 Himmatwala was remake of a Telugu film Ooriki Monagadu of 1981.
