deja vu

'when you relive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'javed's shot getting cup limitlessly' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'limitlessly' means to look at the middle letters (the edges or limits of the word are removed).
The centre of 'cup' is 'u'.
'javed' with letters rearranged gives 'dejav'.
'dejav'+'u'='DEJA VU'
