Netizens couldn’t help but notice the eerie parallels between the new Netflix show Squid Game and the Bollywood film Luck as soon as it premiered. Fans have recently claimed that Bollywood was the first to approach the issue in 2009.

Completed #SquidGame and really entertained myself a lot.. But felt like its an extended version of our own #Bollywood movie #Luck in 2009.. It has Musa bhai by @duttsanjay, a lot better than #FrontMan

#SquidGame , a mafia leader, 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 game #SquidGame Sounds similar? Its #Bollywood movie #luck released in 2009
