Jhalak Dikhlaja ( Aksar, 2006)

One of the biggest chartbusters of the year, Jhalak Dikhlaja was a lively party number that helped Himesh Reshammiya further consolidate his standing in the industry. In fact, for many 90s kids, this was an inseparable part of their formative years.

Assalam Vaalekum (Aap Kaa Surroor The Movie, 2007)
