BAAZAAR – a stock market film or super spiritual film?

Greetings from Hitesh! Saif Ali Khan is passing through one of the best times in recent years in his career and personal life. Daughter has started career in film / got a new son – Taimur / Super success of Web Series – Sacred Games and latest is success of film – BAAZAAR. Most of the guys have seen this movie as a SHARE MARKET film. I am seeing the same as SUPER SPIRITUAL FILM. Let me deal with the same.

How the events in the movie unfolds?

A rookie trader Rohan comes to Mumbai with a dream to become successful like SHAKUN KOTHARI. By his smart way he gets a job as a trader in a company where SHAKUN trades.

Shakun wanted to take over a PHARMA company, so he manages MEDIA and other aspects and pharma company shares falls like nine pins. Luckily, Rohan called up the PHARMA company MD and got these shares sold to SHAKUN.

Shakun gives him Rs.100 Crs for trading with a mandate that he must not lose his money. This guy ends up losing money. So, Shakun gives him a Deadline to convert loss into profit. Out of NOWHERE, PRIYA (his collegue) gives him a tip about some company and ROHAN trades and covers up loss of SHAKUN.

Slowly ROHAN gets into the inner circle of SHAKUN and SHAKUN opens a company for TELECON license on his name. SHAKUN sold of the shares before the license is announced and make a killing. Now, ROHAN is on the road. He fights back, and the movie ends with SHAKUN starting his life again after jail.

I have knowingly missed some of the aspects of the movie as most would have seen the same or can see the same. I wanted to deal with some other aspect of the movie.

Do you think you can be successful on your own?

We take credit for the success and blame other for the failures.

(In the movie SHAKUN had made sure that this guy gets the TIP, makes money and come near to him).

Existence / Nature / GOD – whatever word you like – through his associates like PRIYA (e.g. parents / teachers/ friends/relatives) – makes sure that you get the TIP / Opportunity / JOB / Business Idea, so that you can become successful. The only problem here is that we take the credit for the success rather than giving it to Existence.

(The mistake is – when SHAKUN asked ROHAN – how did you know about the TIP, ROHAN becomes silent. He was not honest enough to tell that it was TIP and not his smartness that made the money).

Existence knows that we are not honest, so it takes us for a ride with more and more lucrative opportunities. Every time, we get success, we end up taking a credit. Now, existence, plays a twist in the game which ends up giving us huge loss. We start blaming it or fighting with it for the same.

(In the movie, SHAKUN has never taken the blame for another people’s failure on him. He showed them the mirror that they were the reasons for their failures or loss).

As per MOVIE everything is MANAGED. If this is TRUE - How to live LIFE or INVEST under such circumstances?

The way our intelligence has been trained over generations / the way our EGO operates – it is difficult to agree to the logic that we are NOBODY in the total scheme of the things.

(Whether we like or not - Shakun has N number of ROHAN to ride but there is only one SHAKUN for N number of ROHAN).

Knowing this – all the religions of the WORLD talks about SURRENDER to the GOD concept. They say you surrender, and HE will do whatever is the best for you.

The most Successful investors like BUFFETT never takes a call on MARKET. They say market is GOD. Buffett has N number of times admitted that it is impossible to outperform market for a long period of time. His surrender to the market is so high that he says – I am 100% okay of market shuts down for 10 years, after my investments.  

Have you observed that alive person jumps into SEA and drowns, and dead body of the same person is floating? This means with EGO, you will go down and without EGO you will float.

So, the best way to operate under MANAGED environment is to surrender.

What NEXT?

Movie can be seen in many ways. This was my way of seeing the BAAZAAR. Hope you like it.

I wish you a GREAT WEEK AHEAD.
