A post accompanying the video of the ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal sailing back into the waters, with horns blowing Dhoom movie soundtrack in the backdrop is being shared on social media. The post claims that ‘Dhoom Horns are been blown as the ship finally leaves the Suez Canal’. Through this article let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Dhoom movie soundtrack horns were blown when the ship that got stuck in Suez Canal started sailing back into the waters.
Fact: Horns blowing Dhoom movie soundtrack was not played while the ship which got stuck in Suez Canal was freed. This soundtrack was digitally added to the video. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
Reverse image search of the video in the post led us to a news video by TeN TV which reported the freeing of the boat that got stuck in the Suez Canal. This video has the same visuals as in the video shared in the post. However, in the news video, we can just hear only the regular horns of ships and the sound of water but not the Dhoom movie soundtrack.
Even in other news video reports about the refloating of the ship, we can only hear regular horns but not the Dhoom movie soundtrack. These reports can be seen here and here. Also, there are no news reports about the Dhoom soundtrack being played when the ship was freed.
In view of the refloating of the ship which got stuck in the Suez Canal, posts like these are being shared on social media with misleading claims.
To sum it up, horns blowing Dhoom movie soundtrack was not played when the ship was freed in Suez Canal.
