New York City’s most Gen Z-coded politician, Zohran Mamdani, just got elected mayor, becoming the first African Indian Muslim mayoral candidate to win the election. He just made history and he did so with style. His campaigning had gone viral throughout the world because his target demographic was primarily younger voters.

Moreover, as someone who frequently conversed in Hindi, he became especially more famous in India. Although Donald Trump was openly against him (he is also known as Trump’s worst nightmare), Mamdani didn’t take the hit and kept campaigning until he won against Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani Gets a Filmy Victory Exit

After a moving victory speech where Zohran Mamdani called out Donald Trump on live television, it was his exit that really proved to be the cherry on top. Once the speech concluded, his outro song was the theme song for the Dhoom films. He knew he was in the moment as “Dhoom Machale” played and he watched the uproar that followed.

He is giving Indians and Bollywood the kind of representation it truly deserves. He previously referenced Amitabh Bachchan’s famous line, “Mere paas bangla hai, gaadi hai...” for a campaign. He has been taking bits and pieces of these cult classic films and painting his entire mission around it.

So, his exit from the state with “Dhoom Machale” playing in the background embodied the kind of main character energy fans have always expected from him. He made history with the kind of flair that will make him memorable for generations to come. This is the kind of representation Indians want internationally and not the one with the thick accent that came from decades prior.

Fans Love Zohran Mamdani

Fans have been rooting for Zohran Mamdani since the very beginning, not only because of his promises but because he represents what many communities can only dream of. He has used Bollywood as a strong selling point for his campaigns, highlighting niche films that couldn’t garner international attention back in the day.

His love for Bollywood further bleeds into the world, forwarding it to people who may not be familiar with it or have only touched the tip of the iceberg. People are calling him filmy and iconic for using the catchy song. To top things off, his mother dressed in traditional Indian clothes to celebrate his win, a saree with a bindi right between her eyebrows.

Bollywood fans living in India are finding this moment to be historical because even if he didn’t win everyone’s hearts in the United States, he certainly did so in this nation.
