Akshay Kumar arrives to woo the NRI and Indian audience alike once again. And what better way to do this than starring as a lead protagonist in a film that goes by the name ofNamastey London. To add to the fun, he plays a Funjabi (yes, you read it right) from (where else!) Punjab who aims to win the love of his newly wed NRI wife in London. Now that's a perfect recipe of a film that is expected to find an audience from Ludhiana to London.
Directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah who along with Akshay has delivered two back to back successful films [Aankhen, Waqt], Namastey London has an unlikely combination of lyricists Javed Akhtar and composer/singer Himesh Reshammiya. Another unconventional part about the album is the fact that along with 7 original tracks, there are as many as 11 remixes of the same!
Does an unlikely combination and an unconventional album content come up with exceptional results? Yes, it does, especially when even Akhtar saab decides to come behind the mike. Read on to know more!
If you have been constantly following dozens of UK Bhangra pop albums that have been hitting the stands on a regular note during last couple of years then chances are that you would be instantly able to identify with Chakna Chakna. Shot innovatively, the track has been choreographed on Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in a night club and has sufi elements fused well with bhangra and pop. Reshammiya comes forward to croon the track and does well in bringing along the Punjabi nuances to the proceedings.
