Why Borat The Film is an Incredible Work of Art

'Borat' is artistic creation of 'Sacha Baron Cohen'. In case you haven't heard of him, let me tell you that he is a comic actor from England. He does stand-up comedy gigs all over the world and Borat is a Kazakhi Character he frequently endears himself to. Borat is a live-feature film. Borat is a documentary. Borat is a mockumentary. Borat is a shockumentary. Borat is a social commentary. Borat is a satire. Borat is funny and sad BUT Borat is not a Bollywood creation.

Borat is anti-Semitic. Borat is anti-Muslim. Borat is anti-Christian. Borat is anti-American. Borat is anti-Kazakhstan. Borat is most definitely anti-Uzbekistan (Borat calls them fucking assholes, you see). Borat is anti-European.
Borat was praised by pro-Americans (Borat made 261 million bucks on its 18 million dollar budget there). Borat was praised by Jews. Muslims praised Borat. Kazakhstan loved Borat (Borat quadrupled its Tourism Revenue). Borat received unanimous praise from Europeans.

Borat is silly. Borat is offensive. Borat is laugh-riot. Borat is moving. Borat is special. Borat is a cultural phenomenon. Borat is arguably the greatest comedy film ever made. Borat is one of the masterpieces from 21st Century. I loved Borat Sagdiyev. Almost everyone (you remember those Uzbeks?) in the world did............‪#‎LongLiveBoratSagdiyev‬.......‪#‎LongLiveKazakhstan‬

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

Racing Extinction (2015) : A Commentary

It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...

What Virat Kohli Could Learn from Sourav Ganguly's Career

This IPL season might be dubbed as 'Kohli's IPL' in years to come. He is unarguably the best exponent of white-ball batsmanship going around. However, for someone like me who places a great emphasis on longest form of Cricket i.e. Test Cricket, until and unless he proves himself in seeming and swinging conditions of England and New Zealand (I believe in him and thus shall wish him luck), I shall still rank him behind Kane Williamson and Joe Root. Just to make sure I'm impartial to this debate, I put my favorite cricketer of all time i.e. Sourav Ganguly behind Sachin, Sehwag, Laxman and Dravid when it comes to rank him in FAB FIVE of Indian Batsmanship because he simply wasn't as good as them in test cricket. Many call him a very good test cricketer and maintaining an average of 40 in test cricket from the very beginning till the very end signifies their reasoning but still, he fell short of 45/50 that makes a batsman statistical behemoth in purest form of Cricket. ...
