Do you want some help?
No, thank you.
You have made a PPT.
On PowerPoint? ‐ Yes.
I couldn't have made it on Excel, right?
Don't challenge me.
The head office appointed a new HR head for our office.
'Madhukar Pandey.'
And his first assignment is 'Diversity Day'.
A special day to promote tolerance and diversity.
Actually, this was my concept.
I didn't do it for seven years,
but that doesn't mean anyone can steal my idea.
Madhukar is senior.
But I'm much more senior‐er.
Nobody scares me..
except my father.
He was an alcoholic.
Yes, it will be done.
Yes, what?
Sorry, sir. I can't hear you.
Hey, man. Is it important to do that now? ‐ Yes.
This office is full of thieves.
They should know who they are dealing with.
Yes, sir. I was saying that your order..
I will write my name on every item.
Sir, hold on a minute.
Hello.
Yes, sir. It's clear now.
So, I..
You reap what I sow.
'Mittal Cards is my biggest client.'
Every year, I call them once.
And through that one call
I make 25 percent of my year's commission.
'So, every year I order these big snacks from Royal Sweets.'
'Just for myself. A special prize.'
This year I am going to sell them a batch of premium card paper.
Am I getting too cocky?
What is this?
Fidget spinner.
What does it do?
Nothing. Just keep spinning it.
Give it to me.
Buy one for yourself, or else you will keep asking it from me.
Really?
So, the next time I get marbles, I won't give you any.
Only T. P. and I will play.
Excuse me.
Conference room.
Saleem! ‐ What is it?
Our honour, trust and buttered crust
are in your hands, Your Highness!
Where do I start?
My name is Saleem.
That is why, as per Chaddha, I have four wives
to whom I recite Urdu couplets
in a sherwani, holding a rose in my hand.
Who will explain to this fool
that I don't even like 'biryani'?
I feel like throwing up at the sight of it.
Come on, everybody! Inside!
In the conference room! Diversity Day!
Rinchin! Hey, you golden dragon!
To the conference room, not the China border. Come on.
Hi, Mr. Mittal. Amit here from Wilkins Chawla.
Let's go, Amit. ‐ Sir, about the sales..
We need to put an end to intolerance together. Come on.
Sir, I'm sorry. Can I call you back? ‐ Come, Kutty.
Sorry.
At Wilkins Chawla, we believe
'that we have one core value system.'
One.
It doesn't matter if we speak different languages
and follow different religions. ‐ Correct.
The British tried to divide us.
Did we get divided? No, we didn't.
Because no one amongst us is a Muslim, Christian, SC or ST.
We are all Indians, buddy.
Actually, I want to make a point here.
We don't have to hide our identities.
Unity is a good thing.
But we need to accept our diversity as well.
And that's called tolerance.
See..
Tolerance can also be a bad word.
We are not here to just tolerate each other.
We are here to learn from each other. ‐ To love..
We are here to understand each other. ‐ To hug..
We only tolerate mosquitoes and our government.
Yes. Look at me.
I am never biased.
I stare at Deepika Padukone as much as I stare at my housemaid.
Please, Jagdeep.
I request you to let me conduct this session.
Yes, please go ahead. Of course.
It would be better if you sit down.
So, now we will..
So, let's come to the subject of intolerance at the workspace.
The HO has done a survey on this subject.
And it is very interesting
that many people have mentioned one item of Jagdeep's.
I'm sure Kutty has done all this.
He thinks that my 'Madrasi Uncle' routine is insulting.
Why can't I say it when such jibes are common on daily soaps?
Isn't there any democracy left in this country?
I want someone to repeat what Jagdeep said.
Why will someone else repeat it? I'll do it myself.
No. Please, Jagdeep. Be seated.
I want to hear it from them.
Yes, Sarla ji. Tell me.
I remember faintly. ‐ 'Yes, tell us.'
Jagdeep sir, in his weird voice, says..
'Look, I'm a Madrasi man.'
'I wear a lungi.'
'And look, I eat sambar and rice..'
Sarla ji is unbeatable when it comes to weaving and sewing.
But comedy is not her cup of tea.
'My language is so different..'
Sarla ji, please, please, please..
Please sit down.
You are absolutely ruining my delivery, timing and everything.
I'll do it. I'll do it myself.
I am a 'Madrasi' man.
M.A., L. L. B.
I sell coconuts.
Give me Rs. 325, I'll break a coconut on your head.
I'll lift my lungi and do the coconut disco.
I will eat sambar using my hands.
I'll eat it like this.
I'll lick rasam off my elbow.
First of all, I'm from Kochi, not Madras.
So, all these things don't apply to me.
But still I complained.
How many times do I hear the same joke?
' Vanakkam', come. Don't vanakkam, don't come.
Snake.. There is a snake in my lungi.
Stop it, Jagdeep. ‐ The snake will bite you.
Jagdeep.. ‐ Don't laugh.
Don't laugh or else the snake.. ‐ Jagdeep..
Jagdeep, stop it!
Mind it! ‐ What?
We just saw an example of intolerance.
'But how do we stop it?'
At Wilkins Chawla, we believe
that anyone of us can be a hero.
All you need is, honesty, equality
respect and open‐mindedness.
Sir, my definition of a hero is different.
Yes, Mr. Mishra. Tell me.
According to me, a hero is the one
who fights for his beliefs.
Fighting for your beliefs. Good.
For example, I have an army of friends.
Every Sunday, we barge into parks carrying canes
and surround the couples there
and then we start beating them up.
Mr. Mishra.
This isn't what heroes do.
Why, sir? Our picture was published in the newspaper.
Okay. Thank you, T. P.
Sit down. Sit down. ‐ Colourful pictures..
Mr. Pandey, your hero is a flop.
Let's think of something catchy.
Trust is more important than honesty.
Imagination.
Team work which brings satisfaction.
This is what we need.
We grew up on this.
What do you guys think?
'Isn't this catchy?'
Sir. ‐ 'Yes, Amit. Tell me.'
There is a slight problem. ‐ Why?
Jagdeep.
Can I talk to you for two minutes in your office?
Jagdeep, this isn't a joke.
The HO wants you to furnish a formal apology.
A formal apology?
'I am deeply sorry for offending the sentiments of my co‐workers..'
Will you kill me for one bad joke?
One joke?
You harass your Sikh employees every day.
I just ask them the time.
Exactly at 12 o'clock.
You called your Gujarati employee dhokli.
Do you want me to call her ' fafda'?
Keep this letter with you.
Jagdeep, think what you want,
but the HO doesn't want any more complaints.
Please sign.
'Thank you.'
'These are the employee guidelines.'
Go through them once.
Do people at the Head Office think
that they can shut me up by making me sign a paper?
They don't know me.
Jagdeep Chaddha is the kind of a guy..
Nobody tells Chaddha what to do.
Chaddha tells nobody what to do.
Hello, can I speak to Mr. Mittal?
Okay.
No, just tell him Amit had called from Wilkins Chawla.
Okay. I'll call back after lunch.
Okay. Okay.
'Every member of Wilkins Chawla'
'should respect each other's religion, language and beliefs.'
Have you guys seen this?
Employee guidelines.
Enough with these lectures.
I mean, did you guys gain anything from Madhukar's lecture?
Did you learn anything?
No, right?
No.
That is why I will conduct a session after lunch.
I will show you what intolerance really is.
Let's see what intolerance is.
A short film by Jagdeep Chaddha.
T.P., play the video.
'Look at this man. Who is he?'
'Is he a Maharashtrian, a Punjabi or a Bihari?'
'Is the blood of a Bihari different from that of a Maharashtrian's?'
'Does blue‐coloured blood flow in the veins of a Jat?'
'Or are we all the same from within?'
'Why don't we draw this person's blood to check'
'what he is from within?'
'Sorry, sir.'
'Don't be scared.'
'Sorry, sir. Sorry.'
Switch it off.
Any questions?
Sir. ‐ Yes, Amit.
Is that all?
Yes. We had only that much time during the lunch break.
What was that? I didn't understand anything.
You would have understood had T. P. bled.
Coward.
Sorry, sir. Sorry.
Forget the video.
Come, let's try to understand each other.
Let me be the one to start.
I am Jagdeep Chaddha.
It's obvious from my name that I am a Punjabi.
Or should we say 'Funjabi'?
As you all know
I'm from Faridabad.
Delhi, NCR.
Is my region the best in India? Yes.
Is my religion the best? It is.
But just because I'm a North Indian and belong to an upper caste,
it doesn't mean that I don't respect
the rest of the people of this country. Right?
So, you mean to say
that we are below North Indians?
Buddy, look at the map of India.
Technically, everyone is below us and we are above.
Well, forget about me.
'You people tell me about your backgrounds.'
Does anyone want to say anything?
Does anyone, about their background..
Rinchin.
Tell us, Rinchin.
Where are you from, Rinchin?
Karkardooma. East Delhi.
Yes, of course.
But originally, where are you from?
Originally, I am from Karkardooma, sir.
I was born there.
Yes.
Which is your village?
Karkardooma is not a village, sir.
It's well connected.
That's right.
Where are your parents from, Rinchin?
Delhi. ‐ Both? ‐ Both.
Wow! Did you see?
An example of diversity.
Well, Rinchin, what do people generally call you?
Except for chi.. ‐ Except for what, sir?
Nothing. Nothing.
Tell me, sir. You were saying something.
You wanted to say 'chinky'.
No. I was saying
except for hero,
which you become
with honesty, equality, romance and open‐mindedness..
Sir, I have some work. May I go?
Yes, you may go.
He has started again.
Anyone else.. ‐ Excuse me. Call. Sorry.
Hello, Mr. Mittal.
Oh, man!
So, we learnt something about one of our colleagues.
Yes. But do we understand each other well?
Let's find out. We'll play a game.
Here you go.
T.P., wear this.
Anjali.
Saleem.
Be careful, sir. We've got these on rent.
Sarla ji.
Hey, Rajinder.
You must come here. Come on.
Wear this. Hold it.
'Dandiya'.
Hi. May I speak to Mr. Mittal?
You want me to call after 15 minutes.
Okay. Thank you.
So, the name of the game is 'Inside‐Outside',
because being one person from the inside
and someone else on the outside
can increase only intolerance, not tolerance.
So, open up your hearts. Get to know each other.
Come on, speak up! Say whatever is on your mind.
Both of you. Come on. Hindu and Muslim, wow!
Come on, speak up!
Hello. ‐ Hello.
How are you?
I am fine. How are you?
I am fine too.
Today, the weather.. ‐ What nonsense are you talking?
Fight it out.
Shall I give you a reason to start a riot?
You people can't do it.
Both of you. ‐ Sir.
Yes. ‐ Sir, shall I start a riot?
I'm very good at it. ‐ Just do your assigned bit.
Bengali and Marwari. Very good.
Say something.
I like your cuisine a lot.
Rajasthani platter.. ‐ Pammi. Pammi.
What is this?
You need to say something inflammatory about this community.
Bad thoughts, Pammi. Come on.
Some people say,
but I don't agree..
Some people have a misconception
that you people are miserly.
Okay, good. Good start.
T.P., say something. Something provocative.
What?
Sir, I am in my character. ‐ So?
I am so miserly that I won't even express my opinion.
What are you watching?
Badshah's new video.
Pammi won't mind, right? ‐ No, I don't think so.
Isn't she cute?
Yes.
But she is getting married, so..
I was talking about the model in the video.
Oh! Yes.
She is very sexy.
Ma'am..
Kutty and Rajinder.
Come on, start.
Sir, he is not in costume. ‐ Wear the costume.
He doesn't want to wear one. You provoke him.
What is the time? ‐ 4:30 p. m.
Isn't it 12 o'clock? ‐ No.
So boring. You people are boring me.
I mean, do something properly.
Bring out the hate which is inside you!
Can't you do such a simple thing?
I'll show you guys. Rinchin, stay here. I'll show you guys.
Oh, sir! I will safeguard your building.
'I can speak Chinese. I eat chow mein.'
Who am I? Tell me.
Chinese, Japanese, Northeast. Sorry..
Good.
Now you know what intolerance is.
Yes?
Yes, Mr. Mittal.
Actually, I am so sorry. It was mayhem at the office today.
Shall we talk about the sale?
Beg your pardon?
You gave the order to some other salesman.
'Oh, okay. T. P. Mishra.'
'No problem, sir.'
'Thank you.'
I just wanted everyone to know each other better.
I am not intolerant. I mean..
I crack jokes sometimes
but I don't want to insult anyone.
Okay, forget all this. Shall we order something?
'Rasam.' We will lick it off our elbows.
Kutty..
I gave the apology letter to Madhukar, so..
Shall we order samosas?
From Natharam.
'Yes.' ‐ Yes. From Natharam.
Everyone likes those, right?
'We are same after all, right?'
'I always say that the solution to all of life's problems is..'
What?
Free samosas.
Oh, man. It's 5:30 p. m.
Shall we go there?
Directly. Let's eat there. Let's go.
'Enough of this.'
'Let's go, kids!'
'It's time to go home.'
'Come on, Saleem sa'ab. Good job.'
Pammi, everyone has left.
All in all.. it was a good day.
