The Mazak Tha Bhai meme originates from the 2015 Indian Film Welcome Back. In this Bollywood movie, Wanted Bhai (the character played by Naseeruddin Shah) says this dialogue to Sagar “Majnu” Pandey (the character played by Anil Kapoor) and Uday Shetty (the character played by Nana Patekar) when the blind don recovers after portraying to have shot down by his own son. The popular use of Mazak Tha Bhai meme is to make someone look foolish.
