Himesh Reshammiya's Delhi Concert Tickets Are Vanishing Fast: Lord Himesh Cult Explained
Himesh Reshammiya kicked off his Cap Mania tour with a memorable concert in Mumbai that has given everyone else FOMO.
Ooooooooo… Aashiq banaya.
'You just had to be there." 'It was a complete riot." 'That was the best concert of my life. Period." Resounding reviews have emerged from those who attended the highly anticipated concert by Indian musician, actor, and heartthrob Himesh Reshammiya in Mumbai. The concert, a part of Reshammiya's maiden 'Cap Mania Tour" in India, is all over Instagram and understandably so. Dressed in a long coat, and donning a cap, the veteran musician had seats on his time machine. His fans hopped in to travel back to the golden era of Hindi music.
Reshammiya aka Lord Himesh had a sold-out show. That over 11,000 people reportedly turned up to watch the hat-donning rockstar is no coincidence, and those who missed out on rocking to the tunes of the legend are now having an existential crisis.
Himesh Reshammiya
If you are new to the concept or aura of Himesh Reshammiya, don't fret. We have a crash course for you. It'll be a minute, stick around.
Reshammiya began strongly in his debut albums for Bollywood. Started as a Hindi music director in 1998's Bandhan and Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, the musician catapulted to stardom in the early 2000s when he held the mic and began collaborating with Emraan Hashmi. It worked. Reshammiya soon became a popular face in music videos. These played all the time on the television because listeners made requests to the music channels to play his music. The craze was such, that many millennial kids couldn't tell Hashmi and Reshammiya apart.
And he is no one-hit-wonder. The 51-year-old has had bangers after bangers in his musical arsenal. 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne,' 'Aap Ki Kashish,' 'Tumse Milna,' 'Jhalak Dikhlaja,' 'Tera Suroor,' 'Odh Li Chunariya,' 'Jumme Ki Raat,' 'Hookah Bar,' 'Teri Yaad' – the list is bottomless, but you get the drift.
When he wasn't singing, Reshammiya was acting in movies. Aap Kaa Surroor (2007), Karzzzz (2008), and most recently Badass Ravi Kumar (2025). The singer and musician may have lacked acting chops, but audiences have, in the past two decades, flocked to watch his meme-worthy cinema. The movies that get put under the 'so bad that it's so good" trope. The amount of hype around Badass Ravi Kumar which was released earlier this year was a testament to Lord Himesh's mass appeal. The audience could sniff out the self-awareness in the otherwise over-the-top chaos that the movie was.
FOMO
The Cap Mania tour's virality on social media has given everyone who couldn't be there in Mumbai the FOMO (fear of missing out) of a lifetime. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the mere use of the term 'fomo" shot up on social media after videos of Reshammiya's performance from the Mumbai concert began flooding fans' timelines.
itna fomo ho raha hai I need to go to himesh reshamiya on tour— kru ⊹⋆.˚ (@sapphic4lwt) June 1, 2025
Himesh Reshammiya, we need another concert in mumbai!!! #Fomo — Ish (@ARSEN_arteta) June 2, 2025
Embracing The Meme
It would be criminal not to mention that the singer, musician, and actor is a self-aware king. During his nearly 3-hour-long performance, Reshammiya hit back at his critics, asking the attendees whether they wanted him to sing in his regular voice or nasal tune.
'Thoda regular gau yaa naak se? (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?)." The crowd collectively went 'naak".
Himesh Reshammiya addressed his critics during a recent concert in Mumbai, playfully responding to those who label his singing style as nasal. Engaging with the audience, he asked whether they preferred his signature nasal tone or a more conventional singing voice. The moment… pic.twitter.com/GNyi06SIHt — Nitesh Das (@Realnitesh945) June 1, 2025
Not A Concert, It's A Cult
Fans of 'I Love You Saiyyoni" singer donned the 'HR" caps with immense pride and joy. The hundreds and thousands of videos from the concert you are seeing now weren't just for The Gram. That the fans had decided to join the meme, the cult of Himesh Reshammiya unironically was only the beginning of what was to come next. That Reshammiya put up a solid show wasn't lost on anyone.

Not Hema Malini, this was real Basanti of Sholay, she is now 75 year old, here's how she looks now
Sholay is going to complete 50 years on 15th August. In such a situation, the film is being released in theatres once again with a new version. This film has given many memories to the audience. Like the story of the film, many dialogues, friendship of Jai-Veeru, many memorable characters, fear of Gabbar Singh, Basanti's chatter, and much more. But do you know who is the real Basanti of this film is, who is 75 years old today? Let us tell you. How Sholay became a cult? When 'Sholay' hit the big screen almost 50 years ago, it created history at the box office. Directed by Ramesh Sippy, this film featured big stars like Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan, Amjad Khan and Sanjeev Kumar. However, there were some action scenes in the film that were not performed by the actors themselves, but by someone else. Hema Malini gave many dangerous scenes in the role of Basanti, but the actor was someone else. Not Hema Malini, but this star was the real Basanti This woman is not seen in the film, but she was the one who performed every difficult stunt of Basanti. Here we are talking about Hindi cinema's first stuntwoman Reshma Pathak. Apart from Hema Malini, she also worked as a body-double for famous actresses like Meena Kumari, Dimple Kapadia, Sridevi, and Rekha. She got the opportunity to enter the world of stunts because of a neighbour who was a stunt director and knew her difficult situation. How much was Reshma Pathak paid for Sholay? Reshma Pathak's father found this work dangerous and refused. Reshma's only aim was to give a good life to her family. In 1968, she did a stunt for the first time for actress Lakshmi Chaya in the film 'Ek Khiladi Bawdi Patte'. It was a dance scene in which the actress had to slide from the stage. Reshma did this scene in one take. She got 175 rupees a day for this work, out of which she used to save Rs 100 and spend Rs 75. Do you know Reshma Pathak's biopic? Reshma Pathan worked in many big films and became a body double for many actresses. But her work as Hema Malini's duplicate in 'Sholay' is still considered the most memorable. Not only this, in 2019, a biopic named 'The Sholay Girl' was also made on her life, which was released on ZEE5. This film shows the story of her struggle and courage, which made her the real 'stunt queen' of Hindi cinema.
