A recorded voice pretending to be Munawar responded, “Hey, what’s up? Once you get the number, you can just call or text directly.” Shortly after, users received a message that said, “This phone number is fake, but Arif’s show is absolutely real, First Copy Season 2 is now streaming for free on Amazon MX Player.” First Copy is set in the bustling world of 1990s Mumbai, long before digital streaming changed the entertainment landscape. The series follows the journey of Arif, a sharp, fearless man who becomes the city’s most notorious film pirate by exploiting a loophole in the system.
