A comedy collective Them Boxer Shorts recently posted a 'trailer' video--GODMAN: Dawn Of Godness-- on their YouTube channel. It parodies the spiritual gurus of India who claim to flaunt "liberal thought".
You can say they have created India's first and most "Culturally Appropriate Superhero" with a satirical take on much applauded 'gurus'. The video comes with a description:
This isn't in any way meant to be Anti-Religious. Just Anti-social evils and Anti-backward thinking. So peace and love to all.
It also features popular comedians such as Kanan Gill, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Abish Mathew, Utsav Chakraborty.
Harikrishnan, works at an IT firm. Dissatisfied with his job and basically his life, he renounces the idle pleasures and transforms into..

Harikrishnan-turned-Godman, along with his culturally correct superheroes are on a mission to destroy the social evils which are..
1. Allopathy.
PS: That doctor is Biswa Kalyan Rath.
Seriously, Gaumutra > Allopathy.
2. The biggest evil that is ch***en.
3. Homosexuality.
4. Common sense. Problem?
Hah. Problem out of the window!
5. Say yes to Dowry.
To watch the Godman destroy more social evils, here's the complete video:
