Himesh Reshammiya has delivered maximum number of hits in his prime, with every film or each song in every film coming to everyone’s notice. His music was such a rage that nobody could help but talk about it. However the musician is concentrating much on his film career and music has taken a backseat in his life. Though he is the composer for Kamal Hassan's ‘Dashavatar’, it has not been much talked and written about. Reshammiya and lyricist Sameer have primarily composed the songs for South audience but it is also being dubbed in Hindi for all-India audience.

'Koi Tumsa' (Come Dance With Me) opens the album rendered by Himesh protégé Vineeth. The song starts with a great beginning but mid way the track starts resembling another Himesh score 'O Makhna Ve' from ‘Dil Maange More’. Vineeth, a product of the talent hunt show who has formerly rendered for a few film, once again does a good job here.

 'Om Namo Narayan' the next track signifies a different era in tune with the situation in the film which traverses across time in the 12th century. Hariharan comes behind the mike to render this devotional track. A different one coming from Himesh, this is more of a situational number.

Himesh goes back to his roots with 'Oh Sanam Ho Sanam', which again has 'Ashique Ye Meri' (36 China Town) feel to it. Shaan takes charge of the song though one is certain that Himesh would have done far better job for the track. This certainly turns out to be the best track so far. Mahalakshmi Iyer also appears in the song though a bit late. It’s the song's rhythm which is infectious and would make up for the heavy lyrics with South Indian influence. One is also certain that the ‘remix’ version of the track would also make the most of it at the top of the charts.

Another devotional number comes as 'Mukundha Mukundha' dipped in Rajasthani folk flavour. Sadhana Sargam sings the number appreciating Lord Vishnu. Kamal Hassan himself comes behind the mike to sing a couple of lines in the voice of an old lady for this situational track. The music arrangement does carry core South Indian elements but one doesn’t mind it much.

'Hey Black Ho Ya White' is made of English and Hindi lyrics. The song is much in news owing to Mallika Sherawat featuring in this item number. It is high on speed and rhythm proving non-stop entertainment throughout. Shalini Singh who has many a Tamil hits to her name does the number. You’ll just enjoy this disco feel track and wait for Mallika to give another sizzling act onscreen.
 
Dashavatar offers a good mix of tunes as Himesh Reshammiya brings about decent songs like 'Oh Sanam' and 'Hey Black' which are the pick of the album while 'Koi Tumsa' also adding to the peppy charts. For music lovers, you can also enjoy along with this album an additional MP3 comprising of 30 Reshammiya hits from films like Aitraaz, Chura Liya Hai Tumne and Kya Dil Ne Kaha! Himesh truly knows to market his music!
