30,000+ Fans, Goosebumps Galore: Rockstar-Dil Se reunion creates a FRENZY at A R Rahman’s ‘The Wonderment Tour’; Dhanush’s SUDDEN, surprise entry and performance leaves fans amazed

A R Rahman appeared on stage at around 6:50 pm and began the show by performing on ‘Jai Ho’ from Slumdog Millionaire. Soon, Jonita joined her on stage and they performed on ‘Muqabla’ (Humse Hai Muqabala; 1994). Rahman also performed solo on ‘Urvasi’, which is also from the same film. Some of the other songs sung by the team were ‘Tere Bina’ and ‘Barso Re’ (Guru; 2007), ‘Enna Sona’ (OK Jaanu; 2017), ‘Vida Karo’ (Amar Singh Chamkila; 2024), ‘Rehna Tu’ (Delhi-6; 2009), ‘Kahin Aag Lage’ (Taal; 1999), ‘Satrangi Re’ and ‘Dil Se Re’ (Dil Se; 1998), etc. During the performance of ‘Tu Hi Re’ (Bombay; 1994), fans were encouraged to switch on their flashlights.

Zanai Bhosle came on stage and an audio of her legendary grandmother Asha Bhosle was played. In the voice note, Asha Bhosle requested fans to give the same amount of love to her granddaughter that has been showered on her. She performed on ‘Rangeela Re’ (Rangeela; 1995) and got a lot of appreciation.

A R Rahman then introduced Sukhwinder Singh, calling him a legend. Sukhwinder, in return, said, “A R Rahman is not my Godfather. He is my ‘God friend’!” There was a frenzy as spectators knew that the energy levels would now go high. And as expected, the singer set the stage on fire as he sang ‘Ramta Jogi’ (Taal). Both the legends performed on the song ‘Jinguchaa’ from Mani Ratnam’s upcoming film Thug Life. The excitement dipped as many were not aware of the track. Nevertheless, fans continued to enjoy the experience.

A surprise entry was that of Mohit Chauhan. He sang ‘Sadda Haq’ from Rockstar (2011) and also joined A R Rahman in performing on the crowd favourite, ‘Kun Faya Kun’ from the same film. Mohit also crooned ‘Ishq Mitaaye’ from Amar Singh Chamkila.

The crowd then couldn’t believe their eyes when none other than Dhanush suddenly walked onto the stage. He and A R Rahman then sang ‘Adangaatha Asuran’ from Raayan. It was the only non-Hindi track sung by the artists at the concert and it got a fine response.

Throughout the concert, fans kept demanding for ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ and A R Rahman saved the best from the last. The moment a female singer began by singing ‘Jinke sar ho ishq ki chaao’, the craze was seen to be believed. Sukhwinder Singh once again came on stage and rocked the show with his performance.

And that’s not all. The Oscar-winning music maestro ended the show on a patriotic note by singing ‘Vande Mataram’. It was truly a goosebumps experience for every spectator present in the stadium.

The concert was not without its share of blemishes. The graphics on the screen, during some songs, were like a 90s wedding video. Some also complained that A R Rahman’s mic quality was not up to the mark. Hence, whenever he spoke to the fans, a few of his words were not entirely audible. Thankfully, these were minor complaints and overall, the experience was truly fantastic.
