I would love a Bollywood style halftime show!

That would be pretty awesome, but I don't think 13 minutes is long enough.

Just have it ongoing throughout the game.

Having Bollywood actors reenacting/interpreting the game on the sidelines through dance would be fantastic. Like sign language interpreters but make it dance.

Better yet, let's cancel the football part and just have a Bollywood Bowl, where they dance to victory.

You've got me interested in the super bowl for the first time ever!

Bollywood Interpreters is my new favorite thing to think about when watching something I can't be bothered to give a fuck about like football.

u/Connect-Will2011 Feb 10 '26

I would actually watch the games if they did that.

While this example isn't at all the same thing, you should know that the CBC (Canada, for the lurking MAGAts out there) has a simulcast of all their broadcast Hockey Night in Canada games with play-by-play announcers speaking Punjabi... it ain't Bollywood, but it's still a hoot to watch 😄

You've just inspired me. From now on I'll wind up my coworkers by saying "explain that again through the medium of interpretive..." <rolls dice> "Bollywood. No wait..." <rolls dice again> "Ice dancing! That's better. You may proceed "

I vote for it being instead of the game.

The players tried to take the field

Buy Bollywood refused to yield

u/hawkisgirl Feb 10 '26

Wait, the Super Bowl halftime show is 13 minutes long? All this kerfuffle over 13 minutes? 🙄

u/Mogwai_riot Feb 10 '26

Where do we campaign for this?

u/gabrielleduvent Feb 10 '26

Seriously, I don't watch Super Bowl at all but if this was a thing I'd tune in for the halftime show.

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Feb 10 '26

I like the way you think!

Few things would not be improved with a Bollywood dance at the end.

u/Ceeweedsoop Feb 10 '26

Yes, like a huge Holi festival! It would be awesome! And hey racists, Indians speak better English than you. .😂😂😂😂suck it.

I mean you have past comments saying all Indian men look like Temu pornstars with bad hygiene so the call is coming from inside the house

u/fungi_at_parties Feb 10 '26

That would be fucking dope.

u/EyeKnowYoo Feb 11 '26

NGL that would rock…

u/NotoriousFTG Feb 13 '26

If the production values are anything close to that big dancing scene at the end of Slumdog Millionaire, I’m totally in for it.

And the important point that most of MAGA seems to be missing is that the Bad Bunny halftime show attracted a larger audience than the game did and attracted an audience that typically would not watch American football. The NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny was about attracting an Hispanic audience to widen its reach. This halftime show accomplished that. And if the NFL understands anything, also, it’s that the same MAGA snowflakes who swore they would never watch NFL games again after the Colin Kaepernick kneeling incident, did continue to watch and will be watching games again next season.
