Mumbai has always been called the entertainment capital of India. And now, a viral video from the rain-hit city is giving that title a whole new meaning.
The clip shows a Mumbai man standing on a high-rise structure surrounded by knee-deep water after heavy rains flooded the streets. Instead of sulking, he decides to turn the chaos into comedy.
Here’s the viral video:

He starts dancing just like the famous Indonesian “boat boy,” who became an Internet sensation during the Pacu Jalur race in Sumatra. The man copies his signature moves, hands swaying with confidence, before jumping into the floodwater with a boat-like prop.
For context, the Indonesian boy, 11-year-old Rayyan Arkan Dikha, went viral earlier this year. A video of him dancing on the bow of a moving boat, set to Young Black and Rich by Melly Mike, drew attention worldwide. From NFL star Travis Kelce to PSG footballers, celebrities couldn’t stop mimicking his style. Fans even called it “the hardest aura farming of all time.”
Back in Mumbai, where incessant downpour has caused waterlogging, traffic jams, and daily struggles, the video feels like a breath of fresh air. While most people are battling the inconvenience, this local star has found a way to entertain.
The viral video has quickly made rounds on social media, with users calling it the “perfect Mumbai remix” of a global trend.
