This Viral Video of Scenic Sunset from Mumbai's Atal Setu Bridge Will Make You Forget Chicago

If you are an avid Instagram reel ‘scroller’, then you absolutely couldn’t have scrolled past that mesmerising ‘Chicago’ reel, where those majestic high-rise buildings danced in perfect sync with Alan Walker’s “Baby, I’m all about headlights… Blinded by, blinded by the headlights.” After this visual extravaganza flooded social media, people began capturing and sharing videos showcasing high-rise marvels gracing an Indian city. But the real shocker came when someone decided to flip the lens on Mumbai, capturing the ‘unreal’ from the newly-inaugurated Atal Setu bridge, leaving the internet utterly enchanted.

Why the uproar? Well, because what unfolded before their eyes was nothing short of a spectacle – towering structures brushing the pink skies, orchestrating a symphony of human ingenuity blending seamlessly with nature’s canvas at the perfect sunset. Simply put, it left everyone speechless.

The twinkling lights, expansive roads, and distant buildings had people questioning if this could really be India. The reactions on ‘X’ were a mix of astonishment and amusement.

Here’s the Viral Video:

“The skyline actually makes it look first world,” quipped one user on the video reposted by the user @_Avykt on the micro-blogging site. “Mumbai Giving Vice City Vibes,” echoed another, while a third humorously noted, “Oh man, I literally thought it’s a bridge connecting Vancouver’s downtown skyline until I read the signage in Hindi!!” The fourth encapsulated it, “Until I read the text in Hindi, I didn’t realize it’s India ???? New bridge.”

Yet, as the age-old wisdom goes, not everything that glitters is gold, and the same applies to Mumbai. While this isn’t to overshadow the city’s inherent beauty, it’s crucial to acknowledge the flip side – the slums, the residents, and the gritty realities that paint a darker picture. But wait, there’s more.

In a previous video, folks raised eyebrows at the purportedly well-managed public transport system catering to such a massive population. A video showcasing Mumbai’s resilient spirit – individuals patiently queuing for auto-rickshaws outside Dombivli station even in heavy rains – went viral. While many applauded this endurance, not everyone jumped on the celebratory bandwagon, pointing out the tendency to glorify everything in the name of the ‘Mumbai spirit’ while turning a blind eye to harsher truths.
