Fans of singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya, if any will be quite pleased with his debut film as an Actor – ‘Aap Ka Surroor: The Moviee: The Real Luv Story’.

The movie is directed by Himesh’s longtime friend Prashant Chaddha, who claims that he was forced to give Himmesh the lead role. Prashant adds, the movie is not based on Reshammiya’s life and that’s the only reason it did not go off the halls on the very first day. It is a fiction story, like Panchatantra that anyway answers some FAQs about the singer-musician.

In his acting debut, Himesh is too uptight before the camera.For the most part he wears a brooding look, as he his consciously aware that he can be a better cap seller than being an actor.

The emotions that he expresses in the film are those of sadness, pain, anguish, helplessness and anger. In fact it feels that Himesh is quite aware of the Box Office results even before the release.

Kap Ka kasoor’ tells the story of HR (Himesh), a rock star on a musical tour in Germany. He falls in love at first sight with Riaa (Hansika Motwani), the event manager of his concert.

On the other hand, there is Ruby (Mallika Sherawat), the partner of the organizer of the concert. Ruby is in love with HR, the only heroine to have agreed to play this derogatory role.
Though HR doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. He loves Riaa.

HR’s troubles apart from his dreaded acting, begins with the murder of a TV journalist.
Convinced of HR’s guilt, Riaa’s father (Sachin Khedekar) fixes her marriage with another man.

Now, HR has two options: To run away from police captivity or start Singing continuously in the prison so that police is forced to release him.

What did he do? Curious? By all means you don’t have to watch the entire movie for it.

Tere baap Ka Kasoor’ is based on a wafer thin plot, Chacha Chaudhry aur Saboo is still a better read. The film’s script and dialogues are very filmy.

For all those who still insist on going to theaters please please please carry your Walkmans, handheld video games or may be playing cards. It is best advised not to take infants to the theater. On the first day first show there were incidences of people jumping out of even the fire exits.

For all the contenders for the Indian idols, the film’s USP is its music. Songs like ‘Asalaam Valekum’, ‘Tera Mera Milna’, ‘Tanhainyan’ and ‘Mehbooba’ should never ever be sung in front of Anu Malik or Javed Akhtar.

If you are a Reshammiya fan, ‘Aap Ka Surroor’ is worth a watch. Though after the interval you may find people pulling one’s neighbors hair and even singing “Mera kya Kasoorrrrrrrr…… Ohhhhhhh Huzzzzzooooooorrrrrr

Though we could not find any reviews or ratings on newspapers for the movie but there were some who gave these ratings:
