Himesh Reshammiya's Cap Mania Tour Is A Full-Blown Phenomenon And Delhi Is Next
New Delhi:
We talk about Coldplay, Blackpink, or even a Bryan Adams concert as life goals - but who would've thought a Himesh Reshammiya concert would spark this kind of frenzy? Yet, that's exactly what's happening. After a sold-out show in Mumbai that left over 11,000 fans screaming "Jhalak Dikhla Ja" at the top of their lungs, Himesh's Delhi concert is now officially sold out too.
Yes, Lord Himesh is having a moment - and it's not ironic, it's iconic.
His Cap Mania Tour, powered by Saregama, is not just pulling in massive crowds, it's creating an emotional tidal wave of nostalgia, chaos, and joy. Fans turned up in droves - from Gen Zs discovering Himesh for the first time to die-hard millennials reliving their college playlists in real time. And what united them all was this: an artist who showed up raw, real, and ready to entertain.
Those who were there can't stop raving. "I've attended concerts from Diljit Dosanjh to Maroon 5, from Arijit Singh to Dua Lipa, and I can honestly say this was the best concert I've ever been to," said 34-year-old Megha Punjabi. "The production quality was on a different level. And Himesh - he was raw, interactive, and a man who can make a joke on himself always steals the show."
He didn't just sing - he connected. He cracked jokes with the crowd, told stories between songs, dropped Bollywood gossip, and even asked the audience, "Naak se gaaun?" - a line that had the stadium roaring. With barely a break in his 2.5-hour set, Himesh delivered every song live, backed by a full band and no backing tracks. From Aashiq Banaya Aapne to Ice Cream Khaungi, every number was met with full-throated sing-alongs.
The little things made it even better: free merchandise (yes, actual blingy HR caps and raincoats), hilarious zone names like "Suroor Lounge" and "Badass Pit," and an impromptu fan contest that actually handed out cash prizes.
37-year-old Abhishek Dutta, another fan, summed it up perfectly: "The crowd was constantly engaged. There wasn't a single dull moment. This was a surreal experience and a great case study in how a concert should be done. This one's going to live in people's hearts forever."
With Delhi already sold out, Himesh Reshammiya's Cap Mania Tour is no longer a surprise hit, it's a pop-culture revolution in real time. And if you missed Mumbai? Well, you're probably already feeling the FOMO.

Father's Day 2025: If Bollywood Dads Were Indian Dishes, This Is Exactly Who They Would Be
In a rush? Can't cook? Dads. They do not always say much. But somehow, they are always there. Standing quietly behind you at the school play. Waiting outside tuition in the heat. Telling you how to change a tyre, or what not to say at a job interview. They are the ones who pack your lunch with an extra paratha, finish your cold fries without complaining, and hug you like they are trying not to. They may not post about it - but love, in their language, is always full-fat and slow-cooked. And if dads had flavours, they would be a proper Indian thali-balanced, layered, sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet, always filling. So, this Father's Day, we cooked up a little tribute to them the only way we know how: through food and films. From tough on the outside and soft within, to flaky but comforting-these iconic Bollywood dad characters remind us of the mighty Indian dishes they unknowingly resemble. Go on, see which one matches your old man, and order them instantly from your favourite food delivery app. 1. Chaudhary Baldev Singh (Bauji) - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Dish: Coconut He is all rituals, rules, and raised eyebrows on the outside. But peel back a layer and Chaudhary Baldev Singh turns out to be a soft-hearted dad who simply wants his daughter to be happy. He is the coconut - tough, traditional, borderline terrifying, but undeniably full of love inside. He may take his sweet time expressing it, but when he does, it is all love and quiet pride. 2. Bhaskor Banerjee - Piku Dish: Begun Pora View this post on Instagram A post shared by दीपिका पादुकोण (@deepikapadukone) A little grumpy, unapologetically blunt, and deeply Bengali, Bhaskor is the dad who worries about his daughter's dating life and bowel movements with equal intensity. Fiercely feminist and rooted in tradition, he is Begun Pora - smoky, pungent, packed with mustard oil, and emotional in all the right ways. If your dad reminds you of Bhaskor, serve him some Begun Pora this Father's Day 2025. Cook it from scratch, or save time and order it from your go-to food delivery app. 3. Dharamvir Malhotra - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Dish: Chaat The fun dad. The "let us talk about love" dad. Dharamvir Malhotra is the cool breeze in a family full of drama. Supportive, quirky, and always ready with a one-liner, he is chaat in human form - tangy, spicy, messy, and mood-lifting. If your dad is the one cracking jokes mid-crisis, there is a good chance he is Bollywood's version of chaat. 4. Viru Sahastrabuddhe a.k.a VIRUS - 3 Idiots Dish: Steamed Veggies Strict, disciplined, and in love with structure, Viru is the kind of dad who tracks your timetable more than you do. Steamed vegetables - basic, healthy, and with zero drama - suit him perfectly. He is all about marks, punctuality, and silent concern that he will never say out loud. He might be cauliflower on the outside, but deep down, he means well. 5. Duggal Saab - Do Dooni Chaar Dish: Aloo Paratha with Butter The scooter-driving, EMI-paying, emotionally reserved dad with the warmest soul. Duggal Saab is comfort food in dad form - flaky aloo parathas, generously buttered, stuffed with warmth and old-school wisdom. He does not always say "I love you", but he definitely means it when he checks if you have eaten. Want to return the favour this Father's Day? Make him this classic aloo paratha recipe, or tap that delivery app and send him a plate with extra butter. 6. Mahavir Singh Phogat - Dangal Dish: Bajra Roti with Gur Tough on the outside, all about early morning runs and strict rules, Mahavir Singh Phogat is not the dad to cry during emotional scenes. But he is also the one who will train you through life with silent support and unsweetened protein shakes. Bajra roti with gur suits him best - rough, hearty, and essential for building champions. For the dad who says less but does more, this is your Father's Day 2025 meal inspiration. 7. Narayan Shankar - Mohabbatein Dish: Bharwa Karela A strict headmaster with a no-nonsense attitude and a deep love for tradition - Narayan Shankar is the human version of stuffed karela. Bitter? Maybe. Rigid? Definitely. But also packed with layers of flavour and depth that not everyone appreciates at first bite. This is the dad who believes in discipline, values, and perfectly tucked-in shirts. Do you think your dad gives similar no-smile energy at family functions? Then maybe he deserves a plate of bharwa karela - made with love, or if you're running low on time and patience, ordered from your favourite food delivery app. 8. Kamal Mehra - Dil Dhadakne Do Dish: Butter Chicken Slick, dramatic, and a little chaotic, Kamal Mehra is the kind of dad who wears cufflinks but also picks fights at dinner. Butter chicken suits his energy - glossy, indulgent, and hiding emotions under a rich, velvety surface. He is messy but lovable, confusing but committed. If your father thrives on drama, this Father's Day 2025, just send him butter chicken. He will get the message. So, this Father's Day 2025, skip the cliched ties and coffee mugs. Pick a dish that suits your dad's mood, plate it with pride (or order it with speed), and serve it with a side of gratitude. Because nothing says "thank you for being you" like food that gets him.

Housefull 5 Day 8 India Box Office: Akshay Kumar led comic-caper adds Rs 5.75 crore to tally on 2nd Friday
The Akshay Kumar-led comic caper, Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, wrapped up its first week at the India box office with a decent Rs 114.40 crore. The film, backed by Sajid Nadiadwala and co-starring Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and a host of other actors, added an alright Rs 5.5-6 crore on 2nd Friday, to take the 8 day cume to Rs 120.15cr net. Let's dig deep into the theatrical performance of Housefull 5 so far. After a promising start last Friday, June 6, 2025, Housefull 5 saw robust growth over the opening weekend, capitalizing on the festive boost from Bakri Eid. The weekdays, however, saw a noticeable dip, putting the long run of the movie in jeopardy. The movie has stabilised a little on Friday but exponential second weekend growth is very important since it will become the second most preferred Bollywood movie option from the coming Friday, when Sitaare Zameen Par releases. By the end of the weekend, the total of Housefull 5 should exceed Rs 140 crore at least. Housefull 5's day-wise net collections in India are as under:- Housefull 5's global performance has also been reasonable, grossing Rs 180 crore worldwide in its first week. Most likely by Sunday morning, Housefull 5 will have entered the Rs 200 crore worldwide club. Given the movie's steep budget, it requires Rs 275 crore worldwide to just breakeven. If the movie fails to hit this number, the producers will lose money on the movie. At Rs 325-350 crore worldwide, the movie can be declared a hit; but that looks very unlikely. The only positive out of the performance of Housefull 5 is that Akshay Kumar has regained his ability to open his films to reasonably good numbers. Since Sooryavanshi, almost every movie of the actor took a low or poor opening. It is with Housefull 5 that Akshay Kumar has regained the ability to pull crowds. You can watch Housefull 5 in theatres now.
