To not exaggerate or overcomplicate things.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In rural areas, the church is still the literal center of the village. The idiom is felt more strongly here. Used in business to keep meetings focused and avoid unnecessary drama. Younger people use it, but they might also use 'Chill mal' or 'Übertreib nicht'. People in the North are generally more reserved, so this phrase is used as a polite way to stop someone from being too loud or dramatic.
Use it with 'mal'
Adding 'mal' makes it sound more natural and less aggressive.
Don't use it in serious grief
It can sound very dismissive if someone is truly suffering.
