Colonel and his crew swiftly move around grabbing people’s phones, shutting laptops, closing files, switching off the power supply, and much more. So that Lunch can get justice.

Confusion takes over every employee as they wonder what’s happening. Until Colonel Sanders declares that all lunch offenders are under arrest. After all, lunchtime par lunch ke alawa aur kuch karna is a crime. The film ends with a powerful declaration of “Aao Lunch Karein!” by Colonel Sanders as he urges everyone to join in the lunch revolution and indulge in the KFC Lunch Specials.
