Netflix’s New Dhol-Tasha Version of Bella Ciao Has Us Dancing In Our Seats

Netflix India quietly released a Marathi version of the world famous ‘Bella Ciao’ from the show Money Heist during Ganesh Chathurthi and it is riveting. Beginning with a slightly sombre monologue about the fact that we can’t get out to celebrate due to Covid-19, a montage of musical instruments getting set up and people getting ready, we knew we were in for a special treat.

We hear the unique beginning of ‘Bella Ciao’ which is then quickly followed by the Dhol Tasha drums giving it a unique sound, making us crave even more. With the ‘Bella Ciao’ chorus, all hell breaks loose with a montage of people dancing to this amazing beat. A lot of Lord Ganesha devotees were performing the immersion dance indoors, dancing their hearts out in this video and it is absolutely cathartic.

The montage also include famous film shots and some shots of Money Heist mixed with the dancing fans and devotees. The shots come from the movies streaming on Netflix such as Agneepath, Don, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Judwaa 2, as well as small intercuts of Denver’s dance segment, Berlin and Tatiana’s wedding celebration, the all-girls party and the gang’s “Bella Ciao” celebration in the bank from the Money Heist web-series.
