Air India Flight To Amritsar Had Dhol Walas Playing As A Surprise For Passengers. Watch.

If you’re anything like me, in flight entertainment is the most difficult part of a long journey. The passenger on the side is always annoying, there’s always that one crying baby who just won’t be at peace till he’s ruined everyone else’s plane ride. And for how long can you watch movies and TV shows? (Okay, I know you can watch it till your brain forces your eyes to shut, but still.)

However, passengers on this flight from Birmingham to Amritsar were in for a special treat. According to NDTV, Air India resumed direct flights between the two cities after a gap of eight years and the excitement levels were way too high.

The news was a cause of a big celebration and many were just too excited for their journey from and to Punjab becoming easy.

Passengers aboard the flight on Tuesday were in for a once in a lifetime musical show. Just moments before takeoff, dhol players got their desi on and put on a show to send the plane off in style.

The uber talented musicians who put on the performance were called Dhol Blasters. They really made the entire flight come alive with their power and enthusiam packed performance. But it’s a Punjabi thing, right!

The Birmingham Airport officials, in a statement said,

“The terminal came alive (on Tuesday) with Indian drummers and dancers weaving their way through passengers who were joined by Members of Parliament, business leaders and members of the Sikh UK community.”

 

In the video you can see the performers dressed in traditional Punjabi outfits and playing the drum. Passengers are seen clapping and cheering along getting in the complete groove!

The video has gone viral on Facebook and has been viewed more than 16,000 times.

Netizens are commenting on the video and sharing it on their profiles.

1 . Really, well done!

2. High five.

3. I’m sure they did.

4. Balle Balle!

If you’ve ever been in a Punjabi wedding, you can understand what dhol walas can do to crank up the energy level. Once that drum beat starts, there’s close to nothing you can do but get your best bhangra moves on!

This reminded me of just that. I’m not going to lie, I was doing some shoulder dance movements myself while watching the video and I’m sure you were too!

You can take a Punjabi out of Punjab, but you can never take Punjab out of a Punjabi!
