[Man] Riyaz!

00:15.680 --> 00:17.560
- Being gay is a crime.
- Really?

00:17.680 --> 00:19.680
Don't you know anything
about Section 377?

00:19.760 --> 00:23.360
The document to change a law
is called a bill in the Parliament.

00:23.440 --> 00:25.280
Before this bill is tabled

00:25.800 --> 00:27.400
you must convince your grandma.

00:27.480 --> 00:29.120
I will call Swami today.

00:29.240 --> 00:31.360
And if he cures your friend,

00:31.440 --> 00:34.400
you will have to forget
about this rubbish bill.

00:41.800 --> 00:44.080
Get out of here. Leave!

00:45.120 --> 00:47.200
With the agreement
of the Prime Minister

00:47.680 --> 00:50.720
I would like to present
this bill in the Parliament

00:50.840 --> 00:53.800
which will decriminalize
homosexuality.

[Man] Madam Speaker,

01:46.560 --> 01:50.080
I feel, our national animal
should be the peacock.

01:50.160 --> 01:52.240
Because peacocks never have sex.

01:52.320 --> 01:53.800
That way, our country...

This is my gay pride look, people.

03:18.640 --> 03:21.920
Madam PM has a new perspective
with the new generation.

03:22.000 --> 03:25.000
She believes that to have
this bill passed

03:25.080 --> 03:28.040
she needs the people's approval
and not that of the Parliament.

03:29.560 --> 03:32.000
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

03:32.960 --> 03:35.800
There are two types
of grapes on your plates.

03:35.880 --> 03:37.560
Green and black.

03:38.000 --> 03:40.160
[Camera shutter clicks]

03:40.240 --> 03:42.160
First, try the green ones.

03:42.240 --> 03:44.800
And don't worry, they are low
in calories and high in fiber.

03:46.640 --> 03:47.880
[Tanya] How are they?

03:48.240 --> 03:49.320
Sweet?

03:50.600 --> 03:52.720
Okay, now try the black ones.

03:55.600 --> 03:57.000
[Tanya] They are sweet too.

03:57.600 --> 04:01.240
If I pass a law
that claims that here on

04:01.360 --> 04:03.600
only green grapes
are the real ones

04:03.680 --> 04:07.120
and the black grapes are banned,
how would you feel?

04:12.040 --> 04:14.480
My point is that in nature

04:14.560 --> 04:17.440
there are green
as well as black grapes.

04:17.560 --> 04:21.320
So, who are we to decide
which ones are real ones?

04:22.760 --> 04:24.440
We all are grapes.

04:24.520 --> 04:26.360
And we all are juicy.

04:26.440 --> 04:29.960
And we all have the potential
of becoming wine in the future.

04:30.040 --> 04:32.440
[All laughing]

04:32.600 --> 04:34.480
Just like my friend Ricky.

04:34.680 --> 04:36.640
Ricky came to India
from London, with me.

04:36.760 --> 04:39.760
And he is being told
that he's a criminal here.

04:40.200 --> 04:43.320
Just because he's gay!
I love Ricky.

04:44.560 --> 04:46.640
And I'm damn proud of him.

04:49.720 --> 04:54.240
If you love your gay friend, and
want to support them like I do

04:54.360 --> 04:57.120
then please take
a #Gaylfie with them.

04:57.240 --> 05:01.880
And upload it on all social media
pages. Everywhere!

05:02.200 --> 05:04.040
[Tanya] And don't forget to tag me.

05:23.360 --> 05:24.200
[Sachin] Hey!

05:28.320 --> 05:31.600
I hope you know that you're
trending on no. 1 since two days.

05:31.680 --> 05:33.920
I was born to be trendy.

05:34.000 --> 05:35.880
But, Tanya, on a serious note,

05:36.000 --> 05:39.000
do you really think these
selfies and hashtags

05:39.080 --> 05:40.760
will create a revolution?

05:40.840 --> 05:44.920
I became a PM because I took
a selfie in a village.

05:45.000 --> 05:48.000
Yeah, but I hope you know
trends change in a few days.

05:48.080 --> 05:50.080
But revolution can come in a day.

05:50.160 --> 05:52.240
It's impossible to win
an argument against you, Tanya.

05:53.360 --> 05:56.480
Okay, anyway, I guess,
I'll have to talk to the MPs again.

06:02.280 --> 06:03.520
[Excited]

06:05.480 --> 06:08.960
- You must say something.
- Calm down.

06:09.720 --> 06:12.400
Ms. Tanya is ruining
the heritage of the country.

06:12.480 --> 06:16.240
There has been such a tsunami of
Tanya's popularity on social media

06:16.320 --> 06:18.400
that the entire India
is drowning now.

06:18.480 --> 06:20.800
Boys are nowadays clicking
pictures with boys.

06:20.920 --> 06:23.560
And girls, with girls.
What is happening in our country?

06:23.640 --> 06:26.000
Why are you people
getting worried, unnecessarily?

06:26.120 --> 06:29.120
This social media and all
is utter nonsense.

06:29.200 --> 06:31.240
Today they're fighting
for gay rights.

06:31.320 --> 06:34.720
In a few days, they'll fight
over Shahrukh and Salman.

06:41.240 --> 06:43.880

I am the MP. I cannot support you.

06:43.960 --> 06:46.960
But at least see the outrage
the people will show, Mr. Prasad.

06:47.360 --> 06:48.360
I'm sorry.
[Disconnects]

06:48.480 --> 06:50.560
Hello. Hello.

06:52.160 --> 06:53.640
Oh, God!

06:53.840 --> 06:54.760
What are they saying?

06:54.880 --> 06:56.840
We spoke to so many MPs.

06:57.040 --> 06:59.840
Despite such a powerful
social media campaign

06:59.960 --> 07:02.240
not one MP is willing
to support us.

07:02.320 --> 07:03.280

07:03.400 --> 07:05.000
I think, it is time
for course correction.

07:05.080 --> 07:07.840
We need to take
this movement offline.

07:07.920 --> 07:10.080
You mean, like a pride march?

07:10.160 --> 07:12.680
I have some amazing
feathery colorful outfits.

07:12.760 --> 07:14.240
- [Sachin] No, Tanya.
- They're so cute.

07:14.320 --> 07:16.920
Something bigger.
Until these MPs

07:17.000 --> 07:19.720
don't receive pressure
from their own vote banks,

07:19.800 --> 07:21.080
they'll do nothing.

07:25.760 --> 07:27.160
[Ricky] How about this?

07:27.520 --> 07:31.040
We should ask the couples
of same sex to march

07:31.120 --> 07:32.800
and as a mark of protest

07:33.760 --> 07:35.200
they can kiss each other.

07:35.720 --> 07:37.000
Oh, God!

07:37.160 --> 07:39.720
- That sounds great.
- Ricky, baby, we can't do that.

07:39.800 --> 07:42.240
Everyone will be arrested
for obscenity.

07:42.320 --> 07:46.320
You mean, kissing in public
is illegal in India

07:46.440 --> 07:48.360
- but not pissing.
- Exactly!

07:48.720 --> 07:49.880
Wow!

07:49.960 --> 07:52.680
There are so many bills
that I need to get passed.

07:52.760 --> 07:54.440
We need something that

07:54.520 --> 07:57.160
goes straight to the ministers'
minds from the people's hearts.

07:57.240 --> 07:59.280
You know, like,
a call of the people.

08:00.520 --> 08:04.520
What if we all start
giving missed calls to our MPs?

08:04.800 --> 08:06.320
- What?
- Yes.

08:06.400 --> 08:07.880
- What do you mean?
- Missed calls?

08:08.520 --> 08:09.400
As in?

08:10.440 --> 08:11.880
[Tanya] Since three days,

08:11.960 --> 08:14.800
we've been demanding
our rights on social media.

08:14.880 --> 08:18.560
Yet, our MPs are ignoring us.

08:18.640 --> 08:22.080
There is only one way to make
our voices reach our MPs.

08:24.320 --> 08:27.400

08:27.520 --> 08:30.040

08:30.120 --> 08:32.640
This fight is of us all.

08:32.760 --> 08:37.960
And we need to become a vote bank
that no politician can ignore.

08:38.080 --> 08:41.720
And we will do this
by a small missed call.

08:41.880 --> 08:44.920
Call your MPs and tell them

08:45.040 --> 08:48.360
that if they do not
support us in passing this bill

in the upcoming general elections
you won't vote for them.

missed calls so far.

I will surely lose.

what should I do?

10:58.320 --> 11:00.680

Hello...

11:08.120 --> 11:12.080
This will be the historic day
that is awaited by PM Tanya Thakur

11:12.160 --> 11:14.440
and Sachin Ghatge
from the opposition.

11:14.520 --> 11:16.560
This bill was rejected
by great margins last time.

11:16.640 --> 11:19.280
What will happen this time
with the bill in the Parliament?

11:19.360 --> 11:21.520
You may begin
the proceeding of today.

11:27.200 --> 11:30.360
Madam Speaker, since a few days
there is something

11:30.720 --> 11:33.720
that has been spreading
in the country, like wildfire.

11:35.200 --> 11:38.000
The matter is as big
as small it appears to be.

11:38.320 --> 11:41.040
It is as complicated
as simple it seems.

11:41.120 --> 11:42.480
And the matter is

11:43.120 --> 11:46.320
that when the Creator
made us equal

11:46.400 --> 11:49.680
then why should we discriminate
among one another?

11:55.120 --> 11:59.480
Section 377 is against
our Fundamental Rights.

12:03.040 --> 12:06.240
So I would like to reintroduce
the bill seeking abolishment

12:06.520 --> 12:07.960
of Section 377.

12:08.920 --> 12:10.520
You may introduce the bill.

12:11.720 --> 12:14.760
The ones opposing the bill
may say no.

12:33.080 --> 12:38.240
And the ones in favour say... aye.

12:38.760 --> 12:40.000

- Aye!
- Aye!

- Aye!

12:47.280 --> 12:48.680

Section 377 of IPC
