Bohemia & Akshay Kumar At It Again

The 8x10 Tasveer title track just released, this time with rapping solely by California based Desi Hip Hop artist Bohemia. While it is an excellent song with a catchy beat and lyrics that fit well with the psychological thriller idea of the movie ("Aadmi khilona duniya ke khel mein"), I can't help but be disappointed by one factor - why don't Akshay and Bohemia rap together? Their first collaboration, "C C 2 C" from Chandni Chowk To China, was basically a solo Akshay Kumar performance (although there is a separate version rapped by Bohemia). Then this track comes along, rapped solely by Bohemia and lip-synced by a pretty hardcore looking Akshay Kumar in the music video. Why don't the music directors ever have them rap two verses in the same song, similar to the "Singh Is Kingg" formula with Akshay and Snoop Dogg. Both are skilled in Punjabi rapping, and they have good chemistry, so it only seems logical that they would rap together on the same song. Maybe next time.

The video has Akshay proving once again that he moves with the times and pulls it off better than any Bollywood star of his generation. Poor Bohemia was not to be seen in the video, maybe because of the seizure he looked like he was having in the "C C 2 C" video. He looks normal in his own music videos, and as soon as he gets a chance to be in a Bollywood video, he acts like he has epilepsy; he was trying to hard to be a "gangsta," and looked like those annoying Desi kids who wear clothes ten times bigger than their actual size and walk like they have a limp. Anyway, check out the track and let me know what you think.
