Netflix's Korean drama Squid Game has become the talk of the town for its unique and gripping storyline. However, it is reminding Bollywood fans of the 2009 film Luck. Many of those who've watched the survival game series took to Twitter to point out that Squid Game seems like an elaborate version of the Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan and Shruti Haasan starrer.
Luck is based on Moussa, a mafia leader, who gives a bunch of people an opportunity to turn their luck around and earn a hefty amount. They are required to deadly play games while people bet on them. While Squid Game is on similar lines where Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly.
Pointing out the similarities, Twitteratis shared several posts and memes. Have a look:
