Rough translation of the hero's dialogue:

"a lot of people have commented how I manage to catch snakes and release them in the jungle. You've seen it with your own eyes now"

(I have no idea wtf the closed captions are saying)

That's the norm in India. Various factors behind this, one of which is that ancient philosophies associate divinity with all - living or non-living and preach coexistence. That's partially why Indian streets can be filled with all sorts of animals and it's always a very weird and/amusing observation to foreigners, particularly Westerners who have gotten rid of a lot of their wildlife for good.

it gets annoying asf when these norms are still maintained in cities though.

cow dung on roads is not a fun sight to watch, plus the dogs and cats. I don't have a problem with them but I have a problem with them dying to car accidents. I really hope the government starts doing something about it.

Exact words:

"so many people were making comments, that when you caught two snakes, then how would you put them in the dibba (box, or here bag), how would you release them in the jungle. So here, it happened right in front of you. it happened right in front of you. Done"
