Easy like Sunday Morning: Himeshji’s Ideal Sunday!

Published by Jem at 5:20 pm under HR Interviews,Radio: Love On AIR

Himesh Reshammiya loves beating his son to PS3 games while discussing their week on Sundays…

• A cup of black coffee… is a must to begin my Sunday mornings. This is usually followed by cornflakes with cold milk.

• A leisurely bath… is then followed by my regular prayers.

• My hobby… is my profession. So composing a song over a Sunday doesn’t feel like work. In fact, some of my best songs have been composed on Sundays. Point of fact, Mann ka Radio (my 500th composition) was also composed on a Sunday. I was humming the tune all day, while chilling with my friend and lyricist Subrat. Based on the tune, Subrat fitted words to go along with it. In the evening I called my musicians over to jam and we recorded the song the very next day.

• Sundays are incomplete… if I am not allowed my regular quota of two movies. I love watching films on my home theatre with my family. While any new movie works for me, romantic comedies are definitely closer to my heart. And, DDLJ is undoubtedly my all-time favourite.

• As a child… my Sundays used to be special and I couldn’t
wait for them to arrive. It was a Sunday family ritual to visit Gaiety/Galaxy in Bandra or Pinky theatre in Andheri for our weekly dose of Bollywood cinema. We would then dine out and watch another movie on returning home. A complete treat!

• Now, I unleash the child in me… by playing cricket on the Playstation 3 for hours with my son Swaym. There is no bigger joy than losing to an 11-year old. Later, he tells me about his week and the things he did in school.

• Riyaaz is a must… on Sunday. Now, I have to compose songs which will work with my new voice, so it’s a reverse process. I believe no singer can be successful without the support of the music composer. In my case, I happen to fill in both the roles, so it’s a big challenge.

• I avoid junk food… on Sundays, unlike most people. This is because I rarely manage a good home-cooked meal through the week with my busy schedule. My ideal Sunday lunch, if we go out, would be a nice grilled vegetable sizzler (sans French fries) or soup and salad at home.

• I can’t nap… during the day. So, if I’m not watching a movie at home or spending time with my son, I would head to meet friends for coffee and conversations. I love having endless chats about movies as most of my friends are addicted to cinema like me. We often head to the multiplex for a movie.

• As a kid… Sundays seldom ended well as the thought of going to school the next day was very upsetting.

    I feel the main target audience is the people who hear radio. That is why more promotion is done on radio mirchi. Even songs were first introduce on radio mirchi. This movie has a medium budget. Good opening and 1st week business is enough to make profit for distributors.

    hey folks MR FRAUD is kind of shelved so don’t expect HR’s music.

    AJAY DEVGAN came on bollywoodhungma.com chat a week ago and I asked about this film and he says it is kind of shelved.

    MILENGE MILENGE will surely be released end of the year or early next year and we will hear HR’s music though they are composed in 2004.

    @ kashhi: i didn,t get u?

    good himesh ji

    USAMA mahesar: @ kashhi: i didn,t get u?

    Simple logic is used low budget and only focus to get target audience. So that cost of Sales also decreases.
    Gross Cost of Producton + Gross Cost of Distribution = Total Cost
    Income – Total cost = Profit.
    Since Total Cost is less that means more profit.
