Mr Romeo is same as Monalisa, as someone else has also asked just now.

Oh. you can understand how I forgot to mention it. It was so senseless 
that I had even forgotten that it was by our man. I am no rap fan and 
Apache Indian's No problem failed in converting me to love it. He rather 
made me hate it even more. Even Anu Malik had used better rap in 
Bazigar's Ye Kaali Kaali Aankhen. And all those "come on, come on" and 
"samba samba" were also quite irritating ones. This would be probably 
the only ARR album in which I didn't find a single song likeable, not 
even a single minute or second likeable. Indeed, the worst of ARR.

> Khel Khiladi Ka

Hmm. Super Police. Another dubbing attempt to cash on ARR's popularity. 
had cheap sounding "chumma de chumma de" that could have done proud only 
to a Bappi Lahiri (of course, Bappi had good songs also.) pakka 
dilbarjani was so odd sounding lyrics. Maybe, ARR was getting used to 
usage of hindi words. But yeah, must mentino "baabu lo chal gaya" which 
was repeated in Rangeela as a great song but failed to click here. badly 
done project.

> Tu Hi Mera Dil

oh this one. Frankly, I liked its "ai chaandni" and "man dole" a lot and 
"mohabbat mein teri" and "sun le o janam" also a bit. anjali 
pushpajanali was also soothing but so many words rhyming with anjali 
were forcibly coined and that stole the beauty of the song. It ended up 
sounding alien to ears. Dil Ka Raja was again an uncommon song and 
remained quite low standard. I would say it was a mixed level of efforts 
on parts of ARR.

Oddly, Thiruda-Thiruda got dubbed as Chor-Chor but its movie was never 
released in Hindi, still the album came out quite good keeping the 
beauty of Chandralekha absolutely intact.

So, I would say, that those dubbed albums which came out badly in hindi 
do cast a poor shadow on ARR also, because ARR himself has given good 
dubbed albums and songs also in Hindi. He just didn't put enough efforts 
in some of those hastily done dubbings.

And the reason could be that he was then new and lacked confidence and 
some producers or music companies took his soft nature for a ride. Now 
that he has gained confidence and he can call the shots, such butchering 
of music has stopped for better.
