The verdict in the Salman Khan hit-and-run created a ripple effect on social media. Some said 5 years imprisonment was fair for Salman's drunken 'mistake', while some thought the promptness with which he got bail was frustrating. While the debate was raging on, there was one thing everyone agreed on: the celebrity status of Bhai.
Screengrab from the video.
There's now a viral Youtube video, that borders on being a parody of the Salman verdict. The makers of the video, Screen Patti, have called their video Save The Bhai and it makes fun of or pays a tribute to (depending on how you want to see it) Salman Khan. Here's the twist: each of the actors in the video look like members of comedy barons All India Bakchod (AIB).
From an info graphic showing a car running over a man on the footpath and simultaneously shooting a black buck, to a pair of 4 hands sporting Salman's noted turquoise bracelet, everything about this video is Bhai-related. They even have a logo on the left corner of the video that reads: All India Bhai-hoes.
"It's only because of Bhai that a bunch of aimless youth now aim to become something: gym trainers," say the AIB looking bunch. There's a Gursimran Khamba-like actor who speaks just like him, there's a chubby looking guy sporting his best Tanmay Bhat look, and no surprises, there's a dark, french-beard sporting guy playing Ashish Shakya.
They then go on to bring to your attention why Bhai is in danger, explaining the court case by comparing it strangely enough to the Game of Thrones. They make a case to save Salman with jokes about his tweets and his films, among other things.
They call themselves "bhai-hoes" and their concluding point is, "Remember there are many tigers, but only one Bhai. So Save the Bhai."
