Dasarath Stadium, our very own football stadium witnessed some of the best concerts in the history of live performances in Nepal. Among them, International rock/pop singer Bryan Adams Concert and Nepali Band 1974 A.D Rock Yatra Concert are the ones that made it record for the people turn out and the amazing lively performance. When I first heard of Atif Aslam live in Kathmandu, I had imagined of the similar turn out (as i know there are many crazy fans of Atif here in Nepal though I am not of their type, I know some of his melodious songs like Doorie, Abh to Aadat and Woh Lamhe).

Atif Aslam- the Pakistani singer (former Jal band frontman) and now a Bollywood sensation performed live in the Dasarath Stadium- Center of Kathmandu in the Friday Evening November 30, 2012. The Concert organized by ODC entertainment (which brought us Bryan Adams and Michael Learns To Rock) gathered less than 10 thousand enthusiastic people which is not any way comparable to the previous record making concerts there. Though his juvenile performance managed to get big woos from the spectators, the sound system did not live up to the international standard sound quality people had expected.
He performed some of his record breaking Pakistani/Indian Rock/Pop and Bollywood songs like Aadat, Doorie, Tu Jane Na, Woh Lamhe, Piya, Pehli Nazar mein to name a few. Bollywood crazy fans were singing along with the singer for his melodious filmy songs, and the female fans were more satisfied with his performance who were repeatedly chanting "I love you" to the Pakistani Singer.
I too enjoyed the songs like Aadat , Doorie for which I was there. Unexpectedly, I was too much overwhelmed with his performance in the song "Piya" (Video posted below). All in all, a melodious cool friday night in Kathmandu makes the crowd esp. Nepalis who listen bollywood music, remember this concert for long.
Here are some of the video clips from the Atif Aslam Concert in Kathmandu.
Piya re Piya.
