Remember Hrithik Roshan In ZNMD? He Is Now a Meme

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was one of those road trip films where Indians have third world problems. You know, not roti-kapda-makaan problems, but how to safeguard a handbag costing lakhs, whether or not to hire a convertible and how to come to terms with youthful quarrels. Not to sneer here, I really liked the film. And now people are revisiting one particular scene featuring Hrithik Roshan expressing his angst to Farhan Akhtar – and it’s meme time!

Caption this, said Netflix

Remember the scene? It’s not funny says Hrithik’s character: throwing away my phone, getting involved with my girlfriend.

I agree

Elaichi in biryani is a crime – because it is small and camouflaged, it will often ruin that last perfect bite of a marvellous meal.

Also

This isn't funny either – never mind that in India we have more public holidays than we know what to do with!

Insult to injury?

First 15th August falls on a Sunday, and then office wants you to work on the weekend? Not funny!

Other work-related peeves

Like unreasonable deadlines.

Also not funny

If someone says something hurtful, it remains hurtful regardless of the emojis put there to soften the sentiment.

Some don’t like this

It may be the done thing to ‘borrow’ a password but it can create resentments.

Meanwhile brands

Jumping on to the bandwagon, Tinder said this.

And Zomato

Said this

The reply to Zomato

One of the problems with Zomato is the far higher prices – they do offer convenience but end up overcharging consumer quite significantly.

Not funny either

Netflix promotions often offer free membership for a short while but would ask for the user’s credit card number – precisely so they can do this. Maybe Netflix thinks it’s funny? Viewers clearly do not. 

Pet peeve

This is not funny for a lot of us – after all, WhatsApp etiquette bhi koi cheez hoti hai!

True!

10% chips, 90% air is supposed to be to keep chips intact, but it feels like cheating.

Also true

It doesn’t take a lot of creativity to create this marketing ploy. But it seemed to work for Netflix. Clearly, Hrithik Roshan saying it’s not funny is now going to be yet another meme template for the internet to embrace.
