Himesh Reshammiya's Cap Mania Tour Is A Full-Blown Phenomenon And Delhi Is Next
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.

Barsaat Director On Keeping Priyanka Chopra As Lead After Akshay Kumar Quit: 'Shaadishuda Aadmiyon Ko…'
Last Updated: Suneel Darshan explains Akshay Kumar's sudden exit from Barsaat and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on. Behind every Bollywood hit, there are stories that fans never hear about. One such story is why Akshay Kumar suddenly left the 2005 film Barsaat. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, known for his successful films with Akshay in the early 2000s, has now opened up about the real reasons behind the actor's unexpected exit and why Priyanka Chopra stayed on as the lead actress. Darshan revealed that Akshay was going through serious personal issues at the time. 'There was a lot of turbulence in his personal life," he said. The film's shoot had actually started with both Akshay and Priyanka, and Darshan confirmed this saying, 'Ab toh gaana YouTube pe hai. Maine Akshay aur Priyanka ka shoot… woh film shoot hui thi, I know. Haan, woh shoot hui thi film." However, the situation changed when Akshay approached him with a difficult request. 'Usne mujhe poocha ki, 'Bhai, agar yeh mere bina ho sake, personal issues ki wajah se…' Toh main toh yeh maanta hoon ki actors ko bahot responsible hona chahiye, aur shaadishuda aadmiyon ko toh aur bhi zyada responsible hona chahiye." Despite the upheaval, Darshan made a conscious decision to keep Priyanka Chopra in the film. He explained, 'Yeh mera faisla tha, kyunki main chahta tha ki Priyanka Chopra ko us haadse ki responsibility ka onus na doon." He did not want the actress to carry the burden of the drama surrounding Akshay's exit. 'Aur main sochta tha, bhai, jiska mere se gehra sambandh tha — jitna bhi tha — woh toh Akshay hi kehta tha ki 'main tujhe apna kya samajhta hoon'… Woh toh us waqt shayad kisi tape mein mil bhi jaaye." The turmoil went beyond just the film. Rumours of a relationship between Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra reportedly created tension in Akshay's marriage to Twinkle Khanna. Akshay and Priyanka, who were once a hit pair on screen with films like Andaaz and Aitraaz, stopped working together after this incident. Over the years, Priyanka has rarely spoken about the situation. But during a recent promotion for her Hollywood film Heads of State, she made a brief, respectful mention of Akshay, showing she holds no grudges. Suneel Darshan summed it up with a grounded view on the situation: 'Lekin kya hota hai, galti karna insaan ki fitrat hoti hai — aur producer ko maar khana uski taqdeer mein hota hai."

Dhadak 2 Box Office collection Day 4: Triptii Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi film struggles to retain momentum, sees 66% drop
EDhadak 2 Box Office collection Day 4: Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi starrer seems to struggle at the box office to retain momentum as it witnessed 66.27 percent drop in earnings on Monday. Following multiple delays, Shazia Iqbal directorial movie was finally released in theatres on August 1, only to witness slow start. After making descent earnings over the weekend, the Bollywood movie raked in an estimated ₹ 1.4 crore net at the domestic box office, according to film industry tracker Sacnilk. Produced under the banners Dharma Productions, Zee Studio and Cloud9 Studio, the movie opened to ₹ 3.5 crore net and ₹ 7.90 crore net over the next two days. On its first Saturday and Sunday it collected ₹ 3.75 crore and ₹ 4.15 crore respectively. Thus, during its 4-day run in theatres, the emotionally-charged movie did a business of ₹ 12.8 crore net. Even the footfalls presented a grim picture as the movie registered an overall 14.26% Hindi occupancy on August 4. During the first three days, the romantic thriller did a business of ₹ 16 crore globally, Sacnilk reported. Overseas Collection: ₹ 2.25 crore gross in 3 days IMDb description states, 'A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in.' As per Bolly movie reviewz, the film was made on a budget of ₹ 60 crore. The strong narrative focused on caste and love features an ensemble cast, including Saurabh Sachdeva, Zakir Hussain, Deeksha Joshi, and Vipin Sharma in pivotal roles, alongside lead actors. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who gave Dhadak 2 a 3.5 star rating, said, 'Sharp writing. Captivating, emotionally-charged second half... Solid performances. Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part.'
