AR Rahman's Encore concert in Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium on Sunday turned out to be a 'bad show'. Fans complained of mismanagement and technical issues that resulted in some hatred on social media.
The singer greeted the crowd that gathered and asked them, "Can you hear me? Can you see me?" When he got a mixed response to the second question, Rahman with a smirk said, "Well, sit back and enjoy the music."
When Rahman tweeted saying: "Thank you for the love Mumbai.." [sic.], he was trolled on that immediately with series of complains. Book My Show was decent enough to reply a few and ask them for more details but overall, it looks like it was a disappointing show.
Check what the fans have to say:
Thank you for the love Mumbai..@bookmyshow @sashasublime @jonitamusic @hridayg @HarshdeepKaur @javedali4u @MohitChauhaan @tunes4u @raihanahshekar @poorvikoutish9

A.R. Rahman concert in Mumbai Extremely poor management. Seats not worth at all. All seats platinum were totally messed up and disappointing. No space to even move there as well poor placement. Horrible toilets as well without lights. @bookmyshow @MTVIndia @arrahman

@BookMyShow disappointed with the seats at #encore #rahman show #mumbai after making sure I choose premium spots for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Still because it’s @arrahman enjoyed his presence and absolute genius!

However God Rahman & his team was just awesome.
Most awaited Vande Mataram song could hv been taken.

The show was excellent but I felt the viewing screens should have been little high & bigger especially near the stage . The people sitting at the back had difficult viewing the show . The ppl at the CCI had more screen then the ppl at the show ;) !!!!

Apart from AR Rahman, Ranjit Barot, Jonita Gandhi, Mohit Chauhan, Javed Ali, Shaashaa Tirupati, Hriday Gattani, and Harshdeep Kaur -- also kept the audience grooving.
Yet another disappointment was when the audience asked for an encore of Maa Tujhe Salaam. When Rahman tried to oblige his fans, the sound had already been shut off. So, he had to walk off the stage.
Y did u end the show abruptly without singing vande matram

This, along with a two-minute commercial break to promote the sponsors was also something that irked the fans.
The last show of his India tour is in Delhi on December 23. Let's hope that one goes smoothly.
