‘Yaatri kripya dhyan dein’: Indian Railways announcement goes viral

Indian Railways announcements have always been a signature part of the train journey experience, but a hilarious new Instagram video is adding a playful twist to this beloved tradition. For generations of Indians, these announcements are more than just reminders; they are a nostalgic soundtrack to countless memories.
Now, an animated character is recreating this iconic experience with Indian Railways with a fresh, funny spin.
The viral reel features a cartoon woman standing at a microphone, mimicking the distinct style of the traditional Indian Railways announcement. With exaggerated expressions and quirky movements, she breathes new life into the otherwise routine announcements, delivering them with precision and flair.
The video even recreates common updates, such as the delay of a train from Anand Vihar to Kanpur, delivered with a comedic touch that adds a whole new layer to the familiar message.
For many, the sound of “Yaatri kripya dhyan dein” (Passengers, please pay attention) is ingrained in their memory, a constant reminder of those countless train journeys filled with excitement, chaos, and anticipation. While today’s announcements are often pre-recorded and lack the human warmth of the past, this animated rendition brings back the personal touch many miss.
