During Dussehra every year, actors perform Ramlila in various costumes and characters. They mouth dialogues that remind us of our mythological texts. The actors’ dialect and language change as per the area they perform in. And this remains the same in Punjab as well. Well, almost everything is same except a twist. Ravan can break into dance to a Punjabi pop song and perform bhangra on accurate beats.

It seems the actor was waiting for his favourite song to be played at the venue, and as soon as it happens, he sheds all inhibitions and dances to the tunes.

Twitter users didn’t know how to react to the video immediately. In short, they were amused to see such a character dancing.

Here are some of the reactions:

It's quite normal in rural areas. I still remember that in my childhood late 90's my village was doing Ramayan every year and to entertain people Hanuman Ji was doing some tricks or Ravan and Ram ji had some funny punchlines. And those jhankis in between the episodes. — Broken Soul (@DeadpoolKaPapa) October 13, 2021
