Netflix-Amazon Fun camaraderie

However, this is not the first time that Amazon Prime and Netflix have engaged in some of the most fun banter on social media. In 2020, when the world was waiting with bated breaths for the second season of Mirzapur 2, Netflix put out a video featuring Ali Fazal and Shriya Pilgaonkar. Fans inundated the comments asking about season 2; captioning the video, “@primevideoin Batao Bhai, log puch rahe hai”, to which Amazon Prime Video had cheekily replied tweeting “arey, seedha seedha bolo tumhe dekhna hai ?”. Netflix retorted to the same with “@yehhainmirzapur you say Guddu bablu we say Atapi Vatapi”.

With the launch of Netflix’s 2-day long streaming fest last year, Amazon Prime Video put out a fun ad called ‘No Fest, Just Facts’ where the YouTube ad description read, “Free streaming of unlimited blockbuster entertainment, TV shows, Amazon Originals and premium movies for not just 2 but 30 complete days!”. Quirky much?

Mirror Mirror on the wall, is this the friendliest rivalry of them all? Well, if history is anything to go by, we can bet on that for sure!
