Instead of
Rocky-The Rebel, the title
Himesh-The Recycler could work just as well. After all, not only has the composer come up with the soundtrack, he has practically sung all the tracks.
Rocky is produced by the duo of Narendra and Shyam Bajaj, who gave us the whodunit
Aksar. The score for the latter was also composed by Reshammiya. Starring Zayed Khan, Minnisha Lamba and Isha Sharvani, the music of
Rocky is exactly what you expect it to be -- repetitive.
It opens rather decently as Reshammiya and Amrita Kak (of
Just Chill fame) play the field in the racy
Junoon. A sure-shot chartbuster, it infects with its youthful verve. If only the subsequent tracks were as entertaining.
Laagi chute na attempts to cash in on the success of the
Aksar ditty,
Laagi prem dhun laagi. However, Reshammiya's high-pitched croaking is just too much to handle. Also it's too fast-paced for its own good and employs a generous usage of sarangi to grating effect.
After that, he dabbles with the harmonium in
Teri yaad bichaake sota hoon.

HR's characteristic screeching coupled with Tulsi Kumar's feeble squeals is a match made in hell for a tune already so raucous.
