Who's here from Piya Piya Calling?

[@farhandurrani8]

Me❤❤❤❤

[@faizankhalid3405]

Came here after watching PIya Piya Calling, I am from Pakistan and the way he has been able to preserve his culture of origin and merge it with the culture of Norway is incredible, I have become a huge fan of Chirag! Lots of Love from Pakistan

[@bhaveshwadhwani7559]

We need more such documentaries of Gujjus rocking the world. That award acceptance speech was just heartwarming. Chirag aka Sheriff has a pure heart!! Can't wait for the collab in Gujarati!!!

[@deekshab9417]

Like can we take a moment to appreciate CHIRAG’s style !!!!!????LIKE HE’S SO COOL HIS OUTFIT STAGE PRESENCE HIS ENTIRE PERSONA !!

[@kinjal_pandya]

I love how he says 'aapde' whenever referring to himself. Perhaps without his knowing he just makes everyone his. More power to such unusual stories.

[@ChardonNayNay]

What does 'aapde' mean and why is it special?

[@kinjal_pandya]

@@ChardonNayNay 'aapde' means us. So every conversation feels inclusive.

[@aarshjajal3076]

35:11 Best moment : Chirag Patel’s award acceptance speech in Gujarati.❤️ Goosebumps and tears at the same time. More and more love and respect to Chirag Patel🙌🏼

[@Techtips200]

His Award speech will fill your eyes with tears ...Chirag lots of love from India.

[@ganeshchauhan9044]

Jordaar..... Chirag Patel aka Sheriff Patel is just awesome and so down to earth. He has really made Gujarat proud and gave all gujarati's a chance to feel proud from his work. The way he said that audience will find it anyhow when you try to start making money is the truest thing have heard from any of the artist. This shows how well he connects to his audience and wants to give a true feel of his work to his fans rather than thinking of making money from his shows. And, it was a delight to hear Chirag talk in Gujarati has a good command on Gujarati language. And finally, thanks a ton Manan for making this video. If you would have not made this video then we would have missed it to know who Chirag is or Karpe is. Thanks once again for introducing people like us who didn't knew that we have a Gujarati Gem in Norway too!!

[@sachintrivedi7899]

Bhai Gajab !!! As NRI this hits you even harder. The clipping of this guy's award acceptance speech just melted my heart ❤

[@Partybekkedal]

Thank you for a great intervju! I'm a big fan of Karpe. The last album makes me cry every time. I grew up with the first immigrants from India and Pakistan and in the last stretch of my life I have worked as a home improver for families that have 1'st, 2'nd and 3'rd generation "new" Norwegians. I have through them lived in the struggles Karpe bring forward in Omas Sheriff. This is of cause not a Norwegian issue but a global one, but I cry because I can put so many faces to every line in Fairuz. After a place to live, food and clothing we need to be accepted for who we are. Something we can't change. The 1'st generation are something they left behind at their birthplace, the 2'nd generation is torn between their parents culture and the culture they are born into. What is so beautiful is to see how the 3'rd generation flourish. We are all humans and filled with the promise of pure love for each others. Thanks once again! Rgds from Tromsø in northern Norway

[@bubblekook5041]

that’s was absolutely amazing, as someone who doesn’t speak or understand a word of norwegian but comes from a family of immigrants karpe’s lyrics really resonate with me, i had the privilege to watch them on tour recently and it’s honestly one of the best concerts i’ve ever seen, it’s absolutely the most beautiful show in the world

[@runeaskerud840]

Karpe is not only rockstars in Norway but a national treasure. They are really something very very special

[@sd_.]

Omg!! Wow…. this is what people need to understand, you should never forget your roots!!! and that award acceptance speech in Gujarati in Scandinavia, just wowwww!!

[@MrLucas35]

35:38 This match cut was so hard. This edit as well was soo good it felt like the emotions were going higher as the documentry went forward and forward. The connection with Chirag Bhai was closing more and more with us. Gujrati chu toh inspiring etlu lage che ke kai vaat nai. ...Team Comedy Factory thnx for giving this. It was best.❤🙌🥰

[@7335srp]

1 no. Vat kari bhai

[@darshantrivedi2351]

Amazing documentry hats off to manan desai really amazing composition it really mesmerized me, And I'm truly overwhelmed by being a gujarati!

[@hardiksolanki7171]

I literally cried after watching this........thank you mananbhai.......most inspirational documentary.......feels proud to be indian...feels proud to be Gujarati.......wahh mara Gujarat nu પોણી.....chirag Patel😎😎

[@mitalimehta2210]

Business wala gujarati toh bav joya pan ek gujarati artist so popular in the northern country of the world is a proud feeling. Great work Manan & Vidya in bringing this documentary to us.. Love from a gujarati staying in Sweden 🇸🇪

[@Jigar-Mehta]

@MananDesai : You have no idea how much proud I feel after seeing this as a Gujju living abroad!!! A big thanks to the whole team for bringing such amazing talent to us and making this beautiful, pure and original documentary. Felt like I was watching a movie! Keep up the awesome work & god bless! ❤

[@chetandave6598]

Mind blowing...proud to see our gujju patel rocks Norway ❤

[@dhwanilpatel04]

😇🙌🙏 જ્યાં જ્યાં વસે એક ગુજરાતી, ત્યાં ત્યાં સદાકાળ ગુજરાત ! 🙏🙌😇

[@roshyroshni]

Ekdum adbhut! 40 mins of pure joy! Inspiring, beautiful!❤️✨

[@rudrasakariya5705]

He deserves a lot of attention and fame from India 🎤

[@shortssquad1]

40 mins of pure joy. I would not have expected such dedicated and full of passion documentary from Manan Bhai. Thanks for keeping the Gujarati culture and language alive. 💌

[@gopaltrivedi5483]

What a great piece of art this documentary is in itself. A stand up comic and a musician getting together from two different parts of world, connected just because of their mother tongue and their pure love for the art. ખરેખર સાચુજ કીધું છે મરીઝ સાહેબ એ, “કે બે જન દિલ થી મળે તો એક મજલિસ છે મરીઝ, અને દિલ વિના લખો મળે એને સભા નથી કેહતા!” Lots of love to both of you Manan bhai and Chirag bhai ❤

[@DeepakVerma-xl9wx]

I heard Omar Sherif song PAF in 2020 on spotify and after that as I am pahadi from Uttrakhand from India and our languages very match with gujrati and now I came here after hearing Piya Piya , I thought the gujrati singer is from Pakistan as it is released in Coke studio Pakistan but shocked to see that he is gujrati and that too from Norway and how he happily represent his culture , his parents also played a major role in his upbringings due to which he is very connected to his roots , also appreaciate Manan for this documentary as Chirag is very popular in Norway but not much people in India knew Karpe , this documentary also gain Indian fans and the best part is the award speech from him. Jai Shree Krishna .❣❣❣❣❣❣😍😍😍

[@amitshah3586]

Major thank you to Manan Desai and the Comedy Factory team making this! For once I feel like being a First/Second generation Gujarati our voice is heard with LOVE!!!! Rather than ragging on us, you truly shown more than the artist himself! Chirag, you and Magdi are doing amazing things! I do hope you do break through to the English music circuit, to not only share your music but help show representation of POC and both Gujarati Egyptian and all the other cultures together! Those LYRICS ARE NEED TO BE HEARD! JSK ! Jai Jinendra! THANK YOU xxx You've gotten another fan

[@fishwish4368]

Amazing! I have never seen such a dedicated artist!!!! PROUD!!!👏🏻 Thank you for the documentary..!

[@ishanvyas1990]

Wow!! Mind blown!! Never imagined such a HUGE rockstar from Gujarat is making it BIG, up there... And such a lovely documentary.. The moments, the flow, the candidness.. Amazin'! Loved it to the core... ❤

[@sandbakken89]

Very cool to watch this documentary as a Norwegian fanboy. Great work! 🔥

[@simib5644]

Thanks for making this documentary. They are amazing and deserve to be recognised more. Saw them in their London Concert and it was the best concert of my life where I sang every song even without knowing the full meaning of the lyrics. Beautiful multicultural, fusion music and love the Sci-fi bit too as a sci-fi lover.

[@reyo9474]

I found these guys from following Quick Style and now I am obsessed with Karpe's music!!!

[@Valkyri3Z]

Fairuz/Baraf is probably the most beautiful pop song I have heard in a long time.

[@ashnikchauhan9103]

What a story of serendipity that you guys connected. Manan, you did a great job on portraying chirag's story. It brings immense pride to see our boy get such recognition and success. I am sure you shall also get a documentary in future about spreading gujarati comedy scene across the globe. Jordar !!!! Jati rehje !!!! Love !!!!

[@BlissBlooded]

You guys"Non-native nationals in Oslo", seems to me to be the paramount example of what selfless-blooded souls should be like. From 25:34 the empath in me kicked in through n through to 26:11. Grt music Bois @omar.sheriff, your perspective to give your listeners an immersive experience is super Dope. I believe, focusin' on visual imagery experience, showin' the audience, the world through different eyes. Abstract and loose with narrative, the poetic sub-genre of music can be very unconventional and experimental in various form and content, But I'm certain it worked for you guys for sure. The ultimate goal is to create a feeling rather than a truth. Grt first Doc @MananDesai, U got some Flawless communication skills to curate films as a documentarian.

[@AvinashSharmagplus]

I love karpe’s music, and I am a part of diaspora in Norway but I didn’t knew so much abt him, came to know of him through this channel. So proud to see him doing great here. Thanks for making it , will gonna go to his concert someday. 😊

[@nikchavda29_]

Best 40 minutes I have spent so far. Now I'm going to be a biggest fan of Karpe. Thank you Manan for documenting this.

[@AkarshDhaiya]

These guys are straight-up inspirational. Loved what Chirag said; if it's not inspirational, he won't don't it. WOW!! True Artists!!

[@renish600]

Love it totally!! What an example of pluralism & multi-cultural art! Hats of to you’ll. You guys rock the whole world and make every Gujarati Proud!!

[@Pareenism]

One of the best documentary, have seen , a big congratulations to the editor , he edits like a pro

[@rachitpurani9915]

Thank you Manan bhai for introducing audience to this masterpiece and an artist so far from home yet so close to us. This was truly an experience to watch. The introduction to BARAF was mind blowing. we are really looking forward for more such content and hoping to see you both and your work together very soon. Cheers! All Hail Sheriff! 🤩
