Bollywood Flashmob In Times Square Causes Dancing In The Streets (VIDEO)

Yesterday dozens of Bollywood dancers made Times Square suddenly seem like a scene right out of Lagaan.

The flashmob of traditional dancers took to the streets to drum up some press for IFC's new mini-series Bollywood Hero, starring Chris Kattan, Neha Dhupia, and Pooja Kumar.

Check out the video below to see a little taste of India right here in New York:

This is such a refreshing break from stories about mobs.

Wonder if these people went to the health care mob locations, whether they could get those gop thugs to start dancing and forget about their bitterness?

flashmob, no flashmob, still look like it was fun. nice to see a video where everyone isnt yelling at each other. nor running shotouts with the police. sometimes you just want to smile!!! :)

How is this a flashmob. It was a staged event. Good advertising though.

[Praedor]

I love that sh*t. But then, I love Indians in general.

I guess I'm just prejudiced.

[westreal]

Flashmob no. Great advertsing yes. And I love the Bollywood dancing.

Bollywood "FlashMob" breaks out dancing in NYC

[Paris68]

Yeah, sorry, not a "flashmob." I doubt this would even pass for "viral marketing." If HuffPo wasn't compensated somehow for featuring this on their site, I would be very surprised.

Thank you Huffpost, I (yes, really) enjoyed this, so much so me and my daughter watched it twice. I am happy to break from all the heavy news and see something (also newsworthy) light. I enjoy seeing what is happening on the streets of New York and thankfully this time it was not dreadfull.
Of course it is staged, so what.

can't stand this flash mob stuff....notice all the fat,lazy touristy people at t he beginning of the clip?....they should have been out there dancing.....

[exBFF]

sorry, NOT a flash mob. The costumes keep it from being a flash mob.

...loved the street performance, though.

[Devin Jordan]

Cool, okay, but flash mobs don't roll in on buses.

lrn2internetkthx?

Hey....I'm a bitter, cold hearted old man......and I LOVED IT!

[MissElaineous]

So not a flashmob. The cell phone company in the train station did a flash mob. This is too polished.
