Are These The Bollywood Power Rangers?

Power Rangers is one of the world's most recognizable superhero brands, but you have never seen the heroes like this. Thanks to the franchise's Japanese roots, the Power Rangers have done some whacky things, but none of them compare to what Bollywood think up. India's huge entertainment industry has yet to make its own knockoff of Power Rangers, but one viral Internet video can show you what the venture would look like - and it is something everyone needs to see.

Over on Reddit, a clip of an old-school Bollywood film recently resurfaced and charmed Power Rangers fans. The clip shows an in-depth dance sequence from a rather low-budget musical, and its antics just scream Power Rangers. The main couple can be seen popping and locking off-beat whilst dozens of awkward dancers groove behind them. And, of course, the gang are all wearing costumes which the Power Rangers would approve of.

If you think the Power Rangers are too cool for such dance moves, then you should think again. The actual canon has seen the team break down to some grooves which even Rita Repulsa would tap her feet to. In the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series introduced the villain Discordia, and the vixen had the ability to make the Rangers dance at will. Whenever the gang tried to fight her, Discordia would use her manipulative powers to put the Power Rangers under her control - and that is not the only time this happened to the team.

Discordia may have made the heroes dance, but Guitardo made the gang fall under his lyrical spell. Lord Zedd made the rhythmical monster to enslave the Rangers to music. All of the teens were helpless against Guitardo save for Tommy and Kimberly, leaving the two Rangers to defeat the crooning baddie with the Dragon Dagger.

Power Rangers currently has a 72.81 on ComicBook.com's composite rankings, and you can find the Blu-ray and DVD description below.
