It's lovely to see him celebrating with his wife Sonia on Women's Day. The song brings back so many memories. The whole album of Phir Hera Pheri was a banger - from this to "Dil Ko Aaya" and "Jab Kabhi". Himesh was truly in his prime.

Respect for the achievement, but honestly, the music scene has evolved so much. While nostalgic, we can't ignore that the composition was quite repetitive. Still, credit where it's due - 1300 songs is no small feat. Congrats on the milestone.

The film is a cult classic! Every dialogue is meme material now. Baburao's "Ye haath mujhe de de Thakur!" 😂 The music was the perfect fit for the chaotic, hilarious energy of the movie. Time for a rewatch this weekend!

Interesting to read it's based on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The adaptation was brilliantly done for Indian audiences. Himesh's music added that desi masala. Good to see him getting global recognition on that Bloomberg list too.

The fact that he's the only Indian on that global influencers list is something we should be proud of as Indians. From "Aashiq Banaya Aapne" to this, he created a distinct sound. Wishing him many more years of music!
