When Bollywood decides to do Halloween, they don’t play around. This year’s spookiest night turned into the most epic celebrity costume party India has ever seen, and social media sensation Orry captured every glorious second. Deepika Padukone channeled her inner cop in full Lady Singham khaki, Alia Bhatt raided tombs as Lara Croft, Nita Ambani became Audrey Hepburn reincarnate, and Orry himself transformed into Sebastian the crab with those iconic red claws from The Little Mermaid. The star-studded bash reportedly hosted by the Ambanis in Jamnagar had everyone from Ranveer Singh to Aryan Khan bringing their A-game. And the internet? Completely shook. This wasn’t just a party, it was a cultural moment that generated over 5.7 million views and had celebrities voting for best costume like it’s the Oscars.
The Video That Broke the Internet
October 31, 2025, will go down in Bollywood history. Social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, better known as Orry, dropped a video bomb that instantly became the most-watched content of the year. The clip, posted on Instagram with the simple caption “Pick a winner,” showcased Bollywood’s who’s who dressed as iconic characters from movies, TV shows, and pop culture. Within hours, the video racked up 5.7 million views, 223,000 likes, and thousands of comments from fans and celebrities alike. The internet collectively gasped, laughed, and immediately started debates about who wore it best.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. The party reportedly followed the recent birthday celebrations for Isha and Akash Ambani in Jamnagar, where the same celebrity crowd had already gathered. While there’s no official confirmation about the Ambani connection, all signs point to the billionaire family hosting yet another extravagant celebration. The guest list read like a Filmfare Awards roster: Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani, Shloka Mehta, Aryan Khan, Karan Johar, Janhvi Kapoor, Disha Patani, Arjun Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Atlee, Ayan Mukerji, and more. This wasn’t a party, it was THE party.

Deepika’s Boss Lady Energy as Lady Singham
Deepika Padukone didn’t just show up, she commanded attention. Fresh off her role in Singham Again released in 2024, Deepika revived her Lady Singham avatar for Halloween, pulling the iconic khaki police uniform straight from her wardrobe. The costume choice was both nostalgic and strategic, reminding everyone of her badass cop character that audiences loved. Complete with the signature police belt, aviator sunglasses, and that no-nonsense attitude, Deepika embodied the fierce female officer perfectly. She posed alongside Alia Bhatt in the viral video, and the contrast between tomb raider and cop created one of the night’s most memorable moments.

The choice to go as Lady Singham instead of something more traditionally “Halloween” showed Deepika’s confidence in her own filmography. She didn’t need to dress as a Western horror icon or Disney princess. She became her own cinematic creation, celebrating a role that represented female empowerment in action cinema. Fans flooded comments sections praising the choice, with many calling it the perfect costume for someone who’s played everything from a Rani Padmavati to a fierce fighter. The khaki never looked so glamorous, and Deepika proved once again that she owns every room she enters.
Orry’s Sebastian The Crab Moment
If anyone understands viral moments, it’s Orry. The social media personality who’s become Bollywood’s unofficial documenter showed up dressed as Sebastian, the red crab from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Complete with bright red crab claws, the costume mixed Larry the Lobster vibes with Sebastian’s Caribbean charm. Orry didn’t just wear the costume, he performed it, dancing and posing for cameras while capturing everyone else’s looks on video. The meta nature of documenting a party while being dressed as a crustacean somehow perfectly encapsulated Orry’s entire brand.

Last year, Orry made headlines arriving at a Halloween party in a blow-up cow costume, so expectations were high for 2025. The Sebastian transformation didn’t disappoint. Social media users drew comparisons to Urfi Javed’s bold fashion choices, with one user writing “Orry Javed” in the comments. Another quipped, “Pehle kids fancy dress karte they ab bade log” (First kids did fancy dress, now adults). The costume allowed Orry to move freely while filming, making him the perfect party chronicler. His Instagram reel format, moving from celebrity to celebrity with quick cuts and captions, turned the video into must-watch content that transcended simple party footage.

Alia Bhatt’s Action Hero Transformation
Alia Bhatt came to win. The actress fully committed to becoming Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, sporting the video game heroine’s signature look: black tank top, black shorts, thigh holsters, prop guns, and that iconic braid. Everything about the costume screamed attention to detail, from the tactical boots to the confident stance. Alia embodied the adventurous archaeologist perfectly, and fans couldn’t stop talking about how the look suited her petite frame. The costume felt especially relevant given Alia’s upcoming action film Alpha, where she plays YRF’s first female spy. The Lara Croft transformation served as a preview of her action star potential.

Standing next to Deepika in the video, Alia created a powerful visual of two leading Bollywood actresses embracing action heroines rather than traditional feminine Halloween choices. No sexy cats or witches here, just two women celebrating characters who kick ass and solve problems with intelligence and strength. The internet ate it up, with one fan commenting “ALIA AND DEEPIKA TOGETHER SERVING OMGMGMGMH” while another wrote “When Deepika and Alia fandom tear each other apart everyday, meanwhile they are enjoying their life like besties!!!!” The camaraderie between the actresses, often pitted against each other by fans and media, shone through in their joint pose.
Nita Ambani Steals Best Dressed Crown
The unanimous winner of the night? Nita Ambani as Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Reliance Foundation’s Founder Chairperson transformed into the late Hollywood legend with stunning accuracy. The classic black off-shoulder gown, multiple strands of pearls, diamond tiara, elegant updo, and those signature bangs recreated one of cinema’s most iconic looks. Every detail was perfect, from the posture to the graceful aura. Nita didn’t just wear the costume, she channeled Audrey’s timeless elegance.

When Orry asked followers to vote for best dressed, the response was overwhelming. Ananya Panday commented “Nita aunty,” Khushi Kapoor wrote “Nita aunty for the win,” and Janhvi Kapoor added “Nita aunty committed.” Actresses Bhumi Pednekar also voted for Nita, while fans agreed with comments like “This was the BESTTTTTTT reel of 2025.” The respect shown by younger Bollywood stars to Nita’s costume choice highlighted how she effortlessly bridged generations. At an age where many might avoid costume parties, Nita showed up with full commitment and sophistication, proving elegance has no age limit. Her transformation became the night’s defining moment, overshadowing even the biggest film stars in attendance.
Ranveer’s Deadpool Mishap
Ranveer Singh arrived in full Deadpool costume, complete with the red and black suit, mask, and prop swords. Ever the showman, Ranveer performed sword-fighting moves for cameras, embracing the Marvel antihero’s irreverent energy. There was just one problem: Orry mistakenly labeled him as Spider-Man in the video. The hilarious mix-up sparked immediate reactions, with fans quickly correcting the error. Both characters wear red suits and exist in the Marvel universe, but confusing Deadpool’s sarcastic mercenary with Spider-Man’s friendly neighborhood hero is peak comedy.
The mishap actually added to the video’s viral appeal. Comments sections filled with jokes about Orry’s Marvel knowledge, while others defended him saying the costumes do look similar to casual observers. Ranveer, known for his over-the-top personality and willingness to commit fully to any character, perfectly embodied Deadpool’s chaotic energy. The costume choice aligned with his brand of unpredictable entertainment. Whether Orry knew the difference or genuinely confused them, the moment became one of the night’s most discussed aspects, proving sometimes mistakes create the best content.
Aryan Khan’s Surprising Appearance
The usually reclusive Aryan Khan made a rare public appearance, dressed as Jake Gyllenhaal’s character from Brokeback Mountain. The Western-inspired look featured cowboy attire that channeled the film’s iconic aesthetic. For someone who typically avoids the spotlight despite being Shah Rukh Khan’s son, showing up to the Halloween bash signaled growing comfort with public appearances. The costume choice also showed cultural awareness, referencing a significant film in LGBTQ+ cinema rather than going for obvious mainstream picks.

Aryan’s attendance added extra star power to an already glittering guest list. Since his debut at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding celebrations, Aryan has slowly increased his visibility while maintaining relative privacy. The Halloween party provided a perfect middle ground, allowing him to be social without the intense scrutiny of formal Bollywood events. His presence generated significant buzz online, with fans excited to see him enjoying himself alongside industry veterans and peers.
Other Standout Costumes
The creativity didn’t stop there. Karan Johar embraced Regency era glamour as Lord Anthony Bridgerton from Netflix’s Bridgerton, complete with period-appropriate attire that showed his appreciation for dramatic fashion. Filmmaker Atlee and his wife Priya went dark as Lucifer and Lilith, embracing the spooky season’s supernatural themes. Ayan Mukerji kept things magical as Harry Potter, complete with the signature glasses and Gryffindor robes. Arjun Kapoor channeled The Terminator with a tough-guy look, while Janhvi Kapoor chose Angela de Marco from Married to the Mob, showing appreciation for classic cinema.
Akash and Shloka Ambani won couple goals by dressing as Gomez and Morticia Addams from The Addams Family, perfectly capturing the gothic romance of the iconic pair. Disha Patani, Ananya Panday, and other young stars also attended, each bringing their own interpretation of Halloween glamour. The diversity of costume choices, from superheroes to classic Hollywood to horror themes, showcased Bollywood’s growing embrace of Halloween as a major celebration. No longer just a Western import, Halloween has become an opportunity for Indian celebrities to showcase creativity and have fun outside their usual glam personas.
Halloween’s Growing Bollywood Influence
The spectacular 2025 celebration highlights Halloween’s evolution in India. What started as a niche Western holiday celebrated by international schools and expat communities has exploded into a mainstream phenomenon among urban India’s elite. Bollywood celebrities have led this charge, hosting increasingly elaborate costume parties that generate massive social media engagement. The Ambani family’s involvement, if confirmed, adds another level of prestige and production value that elevates these celebrations beyond simple parties into cultural events.

Now they embrace playfulness, creativity, and even silliness, endearing themselves to younger generations raised on social media’s casual authenticity. Halloween provides the perfect excuse to drop usual formality and have genuine fun, something audiences appreciate and engage with enthusiastically. The 5.7 million views on Orry’s video prove the appetite for this content is massive and growing.
