Sonu Niigaam's recent songs in bollywood films.

Sonu Niigaam’s recent songs in bollywood films.

Sonu Niigaam had shown his potential to sing any type of songs in the last few years. He is an indispensable asset of bollywood films and his range starting from classical songs to westernized songs and light romantic songs had created a sensation for the new generation.

He showed his patriotic image in the songs sung in the film Border including songs like “sandese ate hai” and Refugee like “mere humsafar”, “panchi nadiya”, etc. He moved the listeners out of their seats with the song “pal pal” from the film Lage Raho Munnabhai and “no entry” from the film No Entry.

His song “aaj ki raat” sung in the film Don, for Shahrukh Khan had amazed the viewers, similar to the song “tenu le” and “salaam – e-ishq” for Salman Khan in the film Salaam-e-ishq. He kept his romantic andaaz intact in the song “maria maria” for Salmaan Khan in the film Partner and “mai agar kahoon” for Shahrukh Khan in the film Om Shamti Om.

His album titled “Rafi resurrected” having few of the legendary hits of the evergreen legend of legends and sung by Sonu Nigaam in Birmingham and other cities of UK mesmerized the international audience. His classical album titled “classically mild” showed his depth of classical singing which makes him unparallel if compared with the other bollywood singers of the present age. He had rightly been the role model of young singers like Rahul Vaidya and Imon Chatterji.

His songs in the film Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, including the song “kabhi alvida na kehna” had shown his tragic andaz. He had rocked the audience with the song “nagara nagara” in Punjabi folk andaaz in the film Jab We Met. He also showed his royal andaaz in the song “in lamhon ke damaan” in the film Jodha Akbar, for Hrithik Roshan.

Composers like AR Rehman could experiment a lot in the film Saathiya due to the presence of Sonu Nigaam at this moment other composers like Anu Malik to Shankar Ehsaan Loy and from Pritaam to Rajesh Roshan consider him the leading singer even without doing injustice to the other singers like Shaan, Kunal Ganjawala, Udit Narayan and others. He is only his own competitor and the viewers expect him to explore more and reach out to the audience of other parts of the world.
