Toronto artists stun audiences with ‘flawless' re-creation of iconic Shah Rukh Khan movie; netizens call it ‘absolute cinema'
A troupe of Toronto-based artists brought Bollywood nostalgia to life at the Taste of India festival in North America recently by flawlessly recreating the legendary comeback scene from Om Shanti Om. Their performance of Dastaan-E-Om Shanti Om, the song that condenses the entire plot into one electrifying sequence, has taken Instagram by storm.
The viral clip, shared by an Instagram user with the handle @Wonder_through_my_frame, shows the group Mumbai Troupers delivering a pitch-perfect rendition of the scene, complete with dramatic dialogues, powerful expressions, and infectious energy.
'Watching this iconic comeback scene from Om Shanti Om recreated live by the insanely talented @mumbai_troupers was nothing short of magical,' she wrote. 'The dialogues, the expressions, the energy, everything was so powerful, it felt like reliving that unforgettable cinematic moment all over again.' She went on to praise the lead performers, @kareenasingh25 and @its_sherwin27, for embodying Om and Shanti 'with so much intensity and grace.'

Within days, the video racked up over 6 lakh views, with viewers flooding the comments section. 'What a cinematic performance love it,' one person wrote. Another admitted, 'The ending iss so so so soo wellll Beautifully …I got tears.' Someone else simply said, 'Brooooo this was phenomenal fav movie for a reason.'
Interestingly, this is not the first time a Shah Rukh Khan-inspired stage moment has gone viral in recent months. In another instance, The Nartikas, a dance troupe from the Auckland School of Bollywood, were performing Ishq Shava from Jab Tak Hai Jaan when a sudden technical glitch cut the music. Instead of faltering, the dancers powered through in perfect sync, their expressions and movements undimmed. The crowd responded instantly, cheering them on and even singing the song aloud to help them finish the act, turning what could have been a mishap into a magical, unforgettable moment.
