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.

* 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

NEVER GIVE UP ✌

"लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती" लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है, चढ़ती दीवारों पर सौ सौ बार फिसलती है। मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है, चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना नहीं अखरता है। आखिर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाते हैं, जा जा कर गहरे पानी में खाली लौट आते हैं। मिलते ना मोती सहज ही गहरे पानी में, बढ़ता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में। मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। असफलता एक चुनौती है स्वीकार करो, कहां कमी रह गई देखो और सुधार करो। जब तक सफल न हो नींद चैन की त्यागो तुम, संघर्षो का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम। किए कुछ बिना जय जयकार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती 🖋 सोहनलाल द्विवेदी Thankyou 😊 #happyreading

Happiness :)
