Christmas is almost here, and the festive mood can be felt everywhere, from bright lights to cheerful music. As people get busy with decorations and celebrations, one video has caught everyone’s attention. It shows a man dressed as Santa Claus dancing to Pallo Latke, a popular Rajasthani folk song. The clip mixes Christmas cheer with desi vibes and has quickly become a favourite for its fun and unexpected twist.
The song Pallo Latke is known for its lively beats and folk flavour. It was famously sung by Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar in the 1979 film Nauker and picturised on Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bachchan. Over the years, it has remained a loved cultural dance number, especially in Rajasthan.
Santa Steals The Spotlight With His Moves
The clip begins
in an outdoor setting that looks like a house lawn or courtyard at night. Three men are seen sitting on a raised platform or sofa, singing Pallo Latke together. They appear relaxed and fully into the song, clapping and enjoying the rhythm. As they sing, the camera slowly pans away from them, building curiosity about what’s coming next.
The focus then shifts to Santa Claus, dressed in the classic red outfit with a cap and white beard. Instead of walking in quietly, Santa breaks into dance the moment the beat drops. He matches his steps perfectly with the music, swaying his arms, tapping his feet, and even adding a few playful thumkas. He doesn’t miss a beat and looks completely in sync with the folk rhythm.
The contrast between Santa and the Rajasthani song makes the moment even more fun. It feels natural, joyful, and full of energy, as if Santa himself has embraced the local culture.
The caption on the video reads, “The Video is breaking the internet! When Santa visits Rajasthan, even he can’t resist Rajasthani beats!”
The text shown on the clip says, “When Santa Visits Rajasthan. Jingles Bells ❌ Pallo Latke ✅,” adding to the humour.
Shared on Instagram, the video quickly drew attention and comments from viewers who loved the blend of Christmas and folk music.
Social Media Users Can’t Stop Reacting
People online were clearly amused. A user commented, “Vibe to hai.” Another wrote, “Ye too fas gaya Santa.” Someone asked, “Dal bati khai thi?”
A person joked, “Rajasthan walo ne daal bati khila di.” Others called it the perfect Christmas video, with an individual saying, “Christmas is incomplete without this video,” and another adding, “Even Santa can’t resist this song.”
