AIB’s CHILL Video Is Spot On; And They Have A Reason To Ask You For It
All India Bakchod (AIB) comes on a firing end after posting doppelgänger of PM Narendra Modi morphed on snap chat dog filter. The internet berserk over them. The end result came as FIRs being filed against the comedy troupe over the meme.
After days of drama unfolding, the group came up with the hilarious video which mocks the people who got offended by a meme posted on the internet.
The video starts up with Rohan Joshi, describing the situation a psychological warfare that has overtaken the country.
He goes on saying, “The people of the community CHILL (Cool Headed Individuals Living Logically) seem to be not taking offence anymore! Imagine what would happen if this was real”
In this purely fictional video, AIB describes the world where people plagued with the phenomena of not giving the s*** and to counter that politicians, journalists, parents and organisations alike are trying to cure these afflicted souls. The video is a hilarious take on the intolerance of the society we live in and how we manage to become hyper over nothing at all.
Joining the bandwagon, and taking a stand against the trolls, Shashi Tharoor and Derek O’brien posted a picture of themselfs on twitter and instagram respectively to prove their point

For all unaware about the controversy, the comedy group posted a picture by slapping the Snapchat dog filter on the photograph of Narendra Modi along with a man resembling PM who was spotted waiting for a train at a railway station recently and captioned it #Wanderlust before sharing it on social media. The photo went viral on social media in no time.
However, not all Twitter users were impressed, and the AIB came under fire from Modi supporters for “insulting” the prime minister and hurting “nationalist” sentiments.
Tanmay Bhat & Rohan Joshi are ppl who will put dog filter on PM Modi's pic at night and wake up shouting no freedom of expression in India.

Within hours, the group deleted the post fearing more backlash. However, the saga did not end there.
Soon enough, Congress supporters started trolling the AIB – this time for being “scared” of the BJP and deleting the tweet.
(Today's AIB saga TL;DR)
AIB: Ye lo. Joke on Modi.
BJP: WTF! REPORT! PUNISH!
AIB: OK. Taking it down.
Cong: WTF! REPORT! PUNISH!

This did not go down well with AIB co-founders Tanmay Bhat and Rohan Joshi who hit back at the trolls in equal measure.
Congress leaders and BJP trolls both getting mad over a goddamn silly snapchat filter meme smh
