Recently, an Indian wedding ‘baraat’ or groom’s procession also drew inspiration from the silent disco trend, particularly the ‘Breakup song’ from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The wedding guests found themselves in a not-so-typical celebration as headphones were distributed to all attendees, transforming the lively procession into a silent groove fest.
