KAAGAZ- A TRUE SUCCESS STORY OF A DEAD MAN



Kaagaz cast: Pankaj Tripathi (Lead Role as Bharat Lal), Monal Gajjar (Rukmini Bharat Lal's Wife) , Satish Kaushik , Mita Vashisht, Brijendra Kala, Amar Upadhyay, Neha Chauhan

Kaagaz director: Satish Kaushik

Produced By: Salman Khan 

The story revolves around Bharat Lal (Pankaj Tripathi) a band master and how his life changed due to "Sarkari Kaagaz". He realised that his family members bribed an official to register him as dead for the greed of a piece of land that he owned. It takes18 years to prove himself being alive as per the government records.


Kaagaz is based on a true story of a common man named "LAL BIHARI" who lived in a small village of Uttar Pradesh.

About "LAL BIHARI"-

Bihari never pursued a formal education but became a master in weaving Banarasi sarees. His life turned upside down  at the age of 21, he applied for a loan to set up a loom workshop. The request for a loan was rejected citing the most unexpected reason that he was dead.

He further discovered the truth that his uncle with the help of the corrupt district administration had declared him dead and from there Lal Bihari’s 18-year struggle started to prove his existence. He wrote petitions at village-level administration and was put off numerous times but he didn’t give up.

Over the years Bihari tried to attract attention to his situation by various means. He organised his own funeral and demanded widow's compensation for his wife. In 1980 he added the word Mritak ('Dead') to his name and signed his letters "late Lal Bihari". He stood (unsuccessfully) for election against Rajiv Gandhi in 1989, to prove that he is alive.

After so many struggles, finally in 1994, Lal Bihari found a district official who willingly fixed the error in government records and made him ‘alive’ again. It was just like a rebirth, Bihari also got back his share of the ancestral land.

Overall, Kaagaz is an entertaining, funny as well as exhilarating must watch movie.

My take away from this movie is- 

Lehron Se Darrke Nauka Paar Nahin Hoti, 

Koshish Karne Walon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti..

Thankyou 😊

* निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' * -🖋 देवांश

|| निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' || बीतेगा ये पल भी, तू निराश तो नहीं,  कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है,  'तू नहीं'। माना हालत थोड़ी नासाज़ है, सहमा हुआ हर इंसान है, पर जज़्बा जिंदा रहने का तू खोना नहीं, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं'। माना कि दिल रोया है, जब किसी ने किसी अपने को खोया है। दिल से टूटा जरूर है, पर हिम्मत तू छोड़ना नहीं, विश्वास रख, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है,  'तू नहीं'। 🖋 देवांश

DRINK H2O

"जलं जीवनम् अस्ति " As we all know that water is an essential part of our life and we also know that drinking water keeps the body toxin free. An average person loses 3 to 4 liters of fluid in a day .The factors contributing for losing water from the body are sweat, urine, breathing and bowel movements. Proper hydration is essential for good health. You need to make up for the water losses by consuming sufficient water. It is said that hiccups is a symptom that indicates water level is low in the system. Grab a glass of water and yes…you have put a stop to the hiccup. How much water should you drink? Forget the simple math — eight glasses a day isn’t the answer. And forget the complicated math, too — half your body weight in ounces isn’t right, either. In fact, there’s no formula that gives you the magic number for hydration. “It’s really dependent on your individual needs,” said Tyler Florek, a registered dietitian nutritionist at Banner Health. How many calories you eat, ho...
