Overview
- Night one at MMRDA Grounds drew more than 25,000 fans for a set spanning “Bailamos,” “Hero,” “Escape” and other hits, with Iglesias greeting the crowd with a namaste.
- Viral moments included the singer catching a fan’s phone to record a selfie and tossing it back, an emotional “Hero” singalong, and a brief kiss on a fan’s cheek near the barricades.
- Bollywood presence was strong, with Malaika Arora, Vidya Balan, Rakul Preet Singh, Jackky Bhagnani and Sonal Chauhan among those seen dancing in the crowd.
- Post-concert reaction was mixed, as social-media posts praised nostalgia and staging while some attendees alleged lip-syncing, omitted songs, delays and crowd-control issues.
- MMRC flagged later last-train times on Line 3 for Oct 29–30 as promoter EVA Live deployed a 60-member international crew, with the second sold-out show scheduled for tonight.
