Kaagaz
ComedyDrama109 min
Pankaj Tripathi is Lal Bihari, a farmer who discovers he’s been declared dead in government records by people looking to seize his property. What starts as a clerical nightmare stretches into a 19-year fight to prove he exists, as every form, office, and official pushes him deeper into absurdity. Drawn from a true story, Kaagaz follows one common man’s battle with a system that reduces a life to paperwork, mixing dry humor with the maddening logic of bureaucracy.
