It is easily the best known Spanish series ever in India. It has legions of fans not just for the series but for each of the main characters and people had been waiting impatiently for the fifth season of Money Heist. When the series started streaming, countless people binged watched it and the meme- makers were on it too. Here are some of the reasons Money Heist 5 continues to be in the Headlines.
This was unprecedented – a three-minute ad staring a host of celebs promoting Season 5 of the Netflix show. The ad was meant to tell viewers that the series was going to be available in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The ad, with its accompanying multilingual track based on Bella Ciao, went wildly viral, needless to say.
Bella ciao again features in this Marathi song that tells people to get their vaccine. It uses some popular memes, and those Dali masked people with their red hooded overalls.
A Jaipur based company gave their employees a holiday on the day that the series started to stream. Not sure whether it was all the employees or just the employer who is that crazy about the series.
This man at a grocery shop in Pakistan bears an uncanny resemblance of the criminal mastermind of the whole heist, the guy known as The Professor. Obviously this guy with the similar-looking beard and glass is now famous and hugely viral on social media.
The Professor is a big deal – he is hugely popular for being brainy, and a shy but steadfast lover.
If the professor is much loved in spite of being a criminal, Arturo is the character most despised – in spite of not being a criminal.
Marseille is one of the less dramatic characters of the latter part of the series.
There were many who binge-watched the show as soon as it dropped on Netflix. Others binged a little later when they found the time while some decided to ration out their viewing so as to prolong the enjoyment and savour the viewing experience.
There were many on social media sharing pictures like this – with the read coveralls and mask and a tub of popcorn to go with the binging.
Bella Ciao is the song of the resistance and is an important recurring theme in the series.
Money Heist 5 is high on emotion and drama and action – like all the previous seasons.
Money Heist 5 makes headlines and keeps the meme makers busy as well.
