The Baloch Chaap: The war dance behind Dhurandhar's viral moment

Akshaye Khanna’s viral dance moment in Dhurandhar wasn’t just cinematic flair. It was rooted in Chaap, a centuries-old war dance from Baloch culture.

In this episode of The Culture Project, we trace the origins of the Baloch Chaap, its role in tribal warfare, and how a dance once performed to build unity before battle evolved into a symbol of pride and celebration. From its rhythmic claps and circular formations to its unexpected revival through modern cinema, this is the real history behind a viral moment.
