Shreya Ghoshal's performance, filled with her signature melodic charm, was widely appreciated by the audience. Her renditions of "Ami Je Tomar" and "Ghoomar" were celebrated for their emotional depth and the powerful patriotic note she ended on with "Vande Mataram."
One user on Twitter expressed, ¡°Shreya Ghoshal¡¯s performance was pure magic, she nailed it!¡± while another added, ¡°She¡¯s the queen of Bollywood playback, no doubt. I felt so proud listening to her sing!¡± The praise poured in for her control and tone, with fans saying that her performance truly set the right mood for the IPL¡¯s grand opening.

Karan Aujla faces criticism
However, Karan Aujla's performance seemed to have sparked a more mixed response. While he brought his usual energy with his track "Tauba Tauba," many fans felt his performance did not quite match the prestige of the IPL opening. A Twitter user remarked, ¡°Karan Aujla was all hype and no substance, felt out of place.¡±
On the other hand, a few fans tried to defend him, saying, ¡°Karan Aujla brought the punjabi energy, people just don¡¯t understand his style of performance!¡± Despite the polarized reactions, there was no denying that Aujla's set didn't capture the same universal appreciation that Shreya's did.
I was hoping to like Aujla¡¯s performance though- his swag fits IPL perfectly. But the over-the-top lip-syncing took all the fun out of it. Kind of disappointed!

Disha Patani's performance cut short
Disha Patani¡¯s performance at the IPL 2025 opening ceremony was going strong ¡ª until it suddenly wasn¡¯t. Mid-performance, the camera just switched to Karan Aujla, leaving everyone wondering what went down. Was it a technical glitch? Did she mess up? Or was her outfit ¡°too revealing¡± for the family-friendly IPL vibe?
Fans were quick to react online, and let¡¯s just say, they were NOT having it. One tweet said, ¡°Did they really just cut from Disha Patani like that? What¡¯s going on IPL? Was it too hot for TV?¡± Another fan joked, ¡°If IPL had a ¡®How To Ruin A Perfect Moment¡¯ tutorial, they nailed it.¡± Some also clapped back at the outfit criticism, with one tweet reading, ¡°It¡¯s 2025, let¡¯s stop acting like women¡¯s outfits are the issue. Disha Patani can wear whatever she wants!¡±

Technical glitches also became a hot topic of discussion. During Shreya¡¯s set, several users reported audio issues, with one writing, ¡°Why was the sound so bad during Shreya¡¯s performance? Ruined the experience for me on JioHotstar.¡± Another user complained, ¡°This audio mess during such a big event is unacceptable. Get it together, IPL.¡±
Audio quality of Shreya performance is so shit, didn't expect better from BCCI either
