Dance It, Film It, Share It

A flash mob event at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in Mumbai, featuring Bollywood dance, revealed implicit political meanings through the intersection of live performance, popular culture, and new media. This study highlights how such community-based performances, designed for online circulation, serve as embodied and mediated civic spaces without explicit political claims. By analyzing the CST flash mob within broader Bollywood dance scholarship, it demonstrates the global proliferation and fandom-driven nature of these events, emphasizing their potential to foster civic engagement through digital sharing.
