What is this abomination?\u201d \u201cHave some shame?\u201d \u201cHow do you live with yourself?\u201d read a few comments on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/facebook-algorithm-family-mark-zuckberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You would think that the outrage is over the cutting down of mangroves to build the Mumbai metro. But no, a far deadlier \u201csin\u201d had been committed: Hotstar released a trailer for the official Indian adaptation of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a popular sitcom, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/trending\/desi-born-confused-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> version of which has an avid following in India. Ricky Gervais, the co-creator of the show, tweeted his approval with a \u201cKer-Ching\u201d, as he laughed his way to the bank. But even that\u2019s not enough to convince angry desi fans that it\u2019s not the end of the world.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the trailer released a few weeks ago, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fans in India lost their shit faster than Michael Scott loses his cool when he has to sit through an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/employees-resource-manager-corporate-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meeting with Toby. The unthinkable had just happened. It was like finding out that India\u2019s Mission to Mars was staged at Ramoji film city. Diehard Indian fans, whose idea of humour was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golmaal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> until a few years ago, found it hard to fathom the idea of a remake. It was all good until Bollywood was attempting to ape <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reservoir Dogs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs Doubtfire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/why-its-game-over-for-game-of-thrones-and-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">show<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has since been adapted to nine versions in seven languages, with little outrage from the Czechs, Israelis, Finns and others about \u201cruining a classic\u201d. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stromberg <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">went on to garner popularity closer to the US adaptation, becoming one of the most sought-after comedy shows in German-speaking countries. Gervais may jokingly claim that his UK version was \u201cquality over quantity\u201d, but it is the US version featuring Michael, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/trending\/jim-and-pam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Pam, and Dwight, that most of us worship. If self-proclaimed internet gatekeepers of the time had revolted against the American adaptation with Change.org petitions (yes, there\u2019s a Change.org petition to stop the Indian remake of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who cares about the water crisis in Chennai?), the world would have missed out on all that laughter. The American version of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, created by Greg Daniels, ran for nine seasons with over 200 episodes and innumerable Steve Carell GIFs to last us a lifetime.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look, I\u2019m not suggesting that the Indian version will attain a cult status because of its mere association with the classic. Even Rohan has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/trending\/sunil-gavaskar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gavaskar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after his name, but we all know how that panned out.

If you haven\u2019t seen <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you are so out of it. And if you have, you must hate the idea of its adaption or you\u2019re not a true fan. However, I happen to be the man in the middle. As an admirer of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office (US), <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have always been curious about the prospect of an Indian version, considering how entertaining our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/office-emails-coworkers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be. Every Indian office-goer has encountered at least one loud boss who cracks an inappropriate joke every now and then, the overenthu HR person who forces you to participate in a Rangoli competition every Diwali, and the nerdy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/office-it-department-enemy-coworkers-workplaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT guy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> whose solution to all your problems begins with an order to restart the machine. We don\u2019t need Michael, Jim and Pam; we need our own desi characters with their quirks, and it seems to be what Hotstar is offering. And I see no reason why were are whining already.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have grown up in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/trending\/coolest-90s-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201890s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> watching saas-bahu serials with my mother, where 10-year leaps were taken every third week and a certain Mihir Virani just refused to die. Gems \u2013 like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dekh Bhai Dekh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zabaan Sambhalke <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(a remake of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mind Your Language<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) \u2013 were few and far between. At that point, English comedies, like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/seinfeld-friends-jerry-seinfeld-elaine-sitcoms-comedy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seinfeld<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">came as life-saver. But even then, I imagined a desi version of Andy Bernard, Ross, Rachel, and Kramer. I craved for a show that incorporated our culture and sense of humour. Something that I could relate to and not arrive at a hurried conclusion by taking a \u201cwhich character are you\u201d quiz.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could the Indian remake of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be that show?
