A vibrant moment at a recent NBA game in San Francisco has turned into a global pop-culture highlight for Bollywood fans and Indian cinema alike. During the matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Chase Center, the title track of Ranveer Singh’s runaway hit film Dhurandhar reverberated through the arena as a Bhangra dance performance stole the spotlight — and the video has since gone viral across social media platforms.

Dressed in traditional Punjabi attire, the dancers performed an electrifying Bhangra routine to the Dhurandhar title track ahead of the NBA game, engaging the crowd and infusing the sporting event with infectious cultural flavour.
