    Watching this video is like seeing Apu in real life. It's like the Quik-E-Mart is right here on Vimeo.

    It's hard to make stand-up work in video. This was hilarious!

    Agreed! Well done, Hari and Zia. Very well shot, super hilarious and clever. Great insight on stereotypes in comedy.

    Stand up in film is by far the hardest entertainment medium to capture on film in m opinion.

    Great work. Borderline mokumentary feel.

    Also, do you use a laugh track during the stand up scenes? Sometimes the laughter seems completely out of place, but maybe that was intentional.

  • Amazing. It took me quite some time into the video to realize that this was a "mokumentary"(?). I didn't even know such a genre exists!

    BRAVO!!! Genius puts Sacha Baron Cohen to shame. Very subtly tactful, yet a strong portrayal of ethnic identity.

    Wonderful use of irony to deliver a serious message. Even extending to the comments people leave.
