Original review summary

The review identifies the footage as fireworks at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires during the Copa Libertadores semi-final between River Plate and Atlético Mineiro on 29 October 2024, not Diwali celebrations in Nagaland. It says comparisons with other video uploads showed the same event and that one upload predated Diwali.[S1]
