Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s upcoming racing drama F1 has become the latest subject of internet humour, with Indian social media users hilariously drawing parallels between the film and Saif Ali Khan's 2007 Bollywood movie Ta Ra Rum Pum. The striking resemblance in their storylines has sparked a wave of memes, jokes, and side-by-side video comparisons across platforms.

F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski, features Brad Pitt as a veteran Formula 1 driver making a comeback to the sport, a plot that closely mirrors Ta Ra Rum Pum, where Saif Ali Khan plays a racing champion who returns to the track after a career-threatening accident. Social media users couldn't resist pointing out the uncanny similarities, with many jokingly calling F1 an “inspired remake” of the Bollywood film.

Fans shared edited clips and memes featuring dialogues from Ta Ra Rum Pum, comparing them to scenes from F1, further fuelling the online buzz. While F1 has generated global excitement due to its big-budget production and real Formula 1 involvement, for Indian fans, the story feels all too familiar — thanks to Ta Ra Rum Pum, which continues to enjoy cult status nearly two decades after its release.
