Mita Vashisht playing a politician and Kaushik who plays his lawyer end up getting him his due. The pall bearers are not used to lifting live people towards the funeral and one of them even asks for water. The funny situations escalate with the shav yatra- the funeral procession where he and a few like him are carried to the crematorium.

And the symbol of the party – a skeleton!

His response though a touch of humour and sarcasm. His emotive expressions and body language mould into the character of a man wronged. Inspired by the real-life story of Lal Bihari Mritak who fought for his identity to be declared alive for over 18 years, the film is helmed by Pankaj Tripathi who wears his role with great ease. Set during the post Emergency era in India, in the era of the Binaca Geet Mala, Kaagaz is the story of a man fighting the system to prove that he is alive and that his cousins, to cheat him of his property have declared him dead. ![]() So, when Bharat Lal’s paternal family based in UP manipulates the property papers and declare him dead as per written records to swindle his share of the property, he rises to action.
