Viral: The waves that Coldplay's recent concert in Abu Dhabi created were not only for their signature performances but also for an attendee's funny review that quickly went viral. While fans were celebrating the energy of the band, one audience member shared a hilarious critique saying that the show is "Isme Diljit wali baat nahi hai" (It doesn't have the charm of Diljit), referring to Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh. He added, jokingly, "Aisa lag raha hai ki light show me aaya hoon," and suggested that Coldplay add karaoke-style lyrics on big screens for better audience participation.

The commentary received mixed responses online. Some people laughed at the criticism and others strongly supported Coldplay by saying that concerts are magical, and people enjoy them for that reason. "Not everyone knows all the words, but concerts of Coldplay are about the vibe and connection," one of the users responded. Others vented their anger at the critic for snatching a ticket which they felt must have gone to a real fan.
