‘Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous’ documentary review: An icon aching for a comeback

The Hindu  

“Whether he’s gone or he’s come back, he’s always there” Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous is a delve into the rise, fall, and staying power of a superstar. ‘Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous’ Director: Mozez Singh Cast: Hirdesh Singh aka Yo Yo Honey Singh Run-time: 80 minutes Storyline: The rise, fall and re-emergence of controversial Indian rap icon Honey Singh Music journalist Bhanuj Kappal steps in and recounts the trajectory of sonic experimentation, with dhol, gangsta rap, and party rap, until he found his space within the “international sound”, resulting in “Brown Rang”, one of his biggest hits. One of the more intimate moments of the documentary shows Singh drinking at his home with his friends, singing along to “Din Mein Leti Hai” from the 1994 Akshay Kumar starrer, Amaanat. “This is f***ing Indian music,” Singh says with a laugh, “why to blame motherf*****g Yo Yo Honey Singh only?” Around this point is where the film verges into sounding like a defence case.
