Mumbai police use Barbie-Oppenheimer meme to highlight public safety

Now Mumbai police too have jumped on the bandwagon and made an Instagram post referring to the two much-anticipated movies.

In it, the law enforcement agency cautions people against drug use, driving without a helmet and sharing OTPs with strangers. This was how the force captioned it: “With such ‘barbie’ actions, you’re signing up for Oppenheimer consequences.”

The post has over 18,000 likes so far. Commenting on it, Universal Pictures India wrote, “Looks like this is also inspired by true events! #Oppenheimer”. Another person wrote, “The person handling this account is dope 😂😂😂😂😂”.

However, not all people were impressed with the Mumbai police and argued that active presence on social media does not make up for lack of action on the ground. One Instagram user wrote, “A for effort, F for execution”.

This is not the first time the Mumbai police have relied on pop culture trends while advocating public safety issues. Earlier, the law enforcement agency referred to Deepika Padukone-starrer Gehraiyaan to warn people against sharing one-time passwords (OTP). They also smartly used the “Kurkure lock” meme to urge people to keep strong passwords.
