It is a fun jibe to the repeat telecast of the film on Indian television by Set Max. It is a joke that almost every week, the yesteryear film starring Amitabh Bacchan has been televised on a repeat basis. The meme is ironic since it’s now available at Amazon Prime Video instead of Sony Liv which is the streaming service of the network that televises the film. People have reacted with a series of memes back at Amazon Prime. They even tweeted a photo of New York with the caption of the popular meme, I’m going to tell my kids this is Mirzapur.
