Ever since Brad Pitt’s F1 (Formula One) released worldwide, social media has been abuzz with memes and cheeky posts comparing it to Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji’s 2007 film Ta Ra Rum Pum. Many netizens pointed out the similarities in the racing backdrop and underdog narrative, joking that Hollywood’s latest sports drama may have taken inspiration from the Bollywood classic.
Several meme pages even tagged Ta Ra Rum Pum director Siddharth Anand, praising his film and its music album. Comments ranged from humorous quips about Bollywood’s “originality” to genuine nostalgia for the movie’s emotional storyline.
Siddharth Anand Breaks Silence
Amid the online chatter, Siddharth Anand himself stepped in with a playful response. Taking to his official Twitter (now X) account, the filmmaker wrote,
“TaRaRumPum you lovely beast !”
His lighthearted tweet took fans by surprise and quickly went viral. One social media user replied, “Way ahead of its time.” Another fan urged the director to consider a sequel, saying, “Ta Ra Rum Pum is your best-directed film to date… the audience may have failed the film back in 2007, but this time we’ll make sure that its sequel becomes a blockbuster.”
Ta Ra Rum Pum: A Look Back
For those who don’t remember, Ta Ra Rum Pum followed the journey of Rajveer Singh (RV), a professional stock car racer whose career and life spiral after a major accident. The film was Siddharth Anand’s second directorial venture after Salaam Namaste and was produced by Yash Raj Films. While it only performed moderately at the box office, it went on to gain a large following through TV broadcasts and streaming, becoming a nostalgic favorite for many.
