Watch: Elderlies Grooving To Butterfly Song Is The Best Thing On Internet Today

When we think of any old age home, the usual atmosphere we assume is of it being quiet, and somber, with residents often feeling lonely and isolated. Many may have outlived or are away from their friends and family, which can lead to feelings of profound loneliness. The environment is quiet, with conversations carrying a sense of longing and reminiscence, but not at this particular old age home based in Madurai. Residents at the Adaikkalam Oldage Home are rather busy taking the internet by storm. Recently, they have captured the internet’s attention with a video that shows their recreation of a viral dance trend.

Mimicking the exact steps of a group of school girls who earlier went viral for their adorable dance on the Butterfly song, the elderly men and women residing at the home executed the choreography with precision. It resulted in a reel that has warmed the hearts of millions online. The video, which has amassed over 43.2 million views and 3.4 million likes, highlights the timeless spirit and vibrancy of the elderly people participating in the dance.

The heartening display did not go unnotice by netizens, who flooded the comments section with an outpouring of love, praise, and admiration. Comments underline the positive impact of the video and the joy it brought to viewers.

Netizens found the reel super cute and flooded the comments section with laughing emojis, praise, and witty remarks. A user wrote, “Beautiful butterflies.” Another user commented, “Bruhhh who the heck put them in oldage homes like srsly look at them their so fun if u leave them with any child they would spend time with them but atleast they got friends here but it’s sad to see like how can peoples leave them in old age homes.”

“Lovely butterflies… Hugs for all butterflies,” wrote another person while a comment read, “Age just a number.”

You’ll be surprised to know that this is not the first time an Instagram reel created by the elderlies of Adaikkalam Oldage Home has gone viral. A few months ago, a group of women residing here had gone viral for another dance reel.

This video shows four women, dressed in sarees, performing a synchronised dance, set to the tunes of What Jhumka song from the 2023 film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

The residents of this old age home, unlike others, often create entertaining content for social media and successfully gather admirations, views and an outpour of love on their videos.
