We all remember the global obsession with Squid Game, but Indian content creators have taken the survival drama to a whole new level. From cinematic spoofs to hilarious parodies, the “desi” version of the deadly games is taking over YouTube. If you’ve been looking for the best Indian recreations of the show, here is a breakdown of the top versions that are currently making waves.
1. The “Movie-Level” Spoof: Hanji Main Hoon Vishal
First up is a creator who decided to go full cinematic mode. The channel “Hanji Main Hoon Vishal” has released a Squid Game spoof that feels less like a YouTube skit and more like a short film.
The attention to detail here is impressive. It recreates the show’s iconic opening moments perfectly—from the tension of the train scene to the mysterious card-flipping game (ddakji) that starts it all. The production quality stands out, with the creator nailing the eerie atmosphere of the original series. It’s a serious, well-crafted tribute that has already garnered thousands of views for its “movie-like” execution.
2. The Comedy Version: Wasim Ahmad
If you prefer laughs over tension, Wasim Ahmad’s version is the one to watch. While most recreations focus on the fear of elimination, this one focuses on the comedy of errors.
In his version of “Red Light, Green Light,” the tension is broken by pure mischief. Instead of just shooting players who move, the host walks up to the frozen participants and messes with them, cracking jokes and trying to break their composure. It’s a hilarious, lighthearted take that asks: What if the Squid Game guards were just trying to annoy you? It brings a distinctly Indian sense of humor to the otherwise dark concept.
3. The “Big League” Collab: Sourav Joshi & Total Gaming
It wouldn’t be a true Indian trend without the heavy hitters getting involved. The video also highlights that India’s biggest YouTube stars, including Sourav Joshi Vlogs and Total Gaming (Techno Gamerz), have entered the arena.
Seeing these massive personalities in the green tracksuits brings a different kind of excitement. It’s not just about the game; it’s about seeing your favorite daily vloggers and gamers stepping out of their comfort zones to compete against one another. The scale of these collaborations is huge, often bringing together different corners of the Indian YouTube community for one chaotic showdown.
4. The Global Standard: MrBeast
We can’t talk about Squid Game recreations without mentioning the biggest one of all—MrBeast.
As the video notes, he isn’t an Indian creator, but he is the one who set the benchmark. MrBeast released his massive real-life Squid Game video a couple of years ago, and it remains the most famous version globally. Even though he isn’t part of the local “Desi” lineup, his influence is undeniable—he is the reason creators everywhere, including in India, are inspired to build these massive sets today.
5. The “What If?” AI Trailer
Finally, there is a fascinating concept video floating around that uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to reimagine the show with Bollywood superstars. This “trailer” visualizes what Squid Game would look like if it starred famous Indian actors instead of the original Korean cast. It’s a cool “what if” scenario that gives fans a glimpse into a Bollywood-style survival drama.
