Two medical students from Kerala set the internet on fire after a video of their dance performance went viral on social media. Naveen K Razak and Janaki Omkumar are students of the Thrissur Medical College and both became an internet sensation after their dance video surfaced on social media.
‘Rasputin’, the Boney M. hit from 1978, has been revived thanks to a Tik Tok challenge that has seen people from different walks of life rocking to the beats of this golden oldie.
The number that celebrates Grigori Rasputin, infamous in Czarist Russia for his mysterious and sinister proximity to Czar Nicholas II, had been a huge hit in the late Seventies and early Eighties; in January and February 2021, ‘Rasputin’ became popular and generated millions of videos of people matching steps with the evocative beats.
When dancers Naveen K Razak and Janaki Omkumar, students of Thrissur Medical College, Kerala, decided to step it up for the song, they never thought the video would go viral within hours. A 30-second video of the duo burning the floor with their nimble feet and nifty moves has taken Instagram (@naveen_k_razak) and Twitter by storm. ‘Take more chances. Dance more dances’ posted Naveen on his Instagram handle along with their dance.
