Alot of you might be too young to have paid attention to the news 15 years ago. But even I know who he was, and I live in Kelowna. You could think of it like he had the notoriety of the Bacon Brothers but in the late 90s, maybe even more so.
The difference was the notoriety. News outlets loved him and his beef, they were a goldmine for the news outlets. The back and forth between him and his enemies in the news was like a movie.
Never met Bindy Johal but do agree that he inspired a lot of brown wannabe gangsters. Feels like I went to school with most of them... like him, seemingly nice to you on a day to day basis, but if one of their crew had an issue all personal feelings are eliminated, morals turned off, you're the enemy, it's go time. They said it was a "brown thing". That is why fights were rarely one on one. I can honestly say I've witnessed a bare minimum of 100 fights where a brown guy loses 1 on 1 and in the following days, the winner of said fight is taken down by the loser and his friends/cousins. Hecccctic.
I sincerely hope the number of wannabe gangster type brown kids have declined these days.. from the outside, there seems to be less of them, but I'm not in the thick of it any more. There are definitely a lot of brown guys out there that are good shit too, I'm specifically talking about the ones who act gangster.
I'm a bit older than murd0c.. the shit I've seen.. I could write a book about it.
Fuckin' Surrey lol

Hopefully it is shit so I don't have to hear how awesome it is from a bunch of loser brown kids. I don't understand why kids idolize him, just because he made it on the news? Seems like he was just some attention whore and probably died because he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he took the cock too.

Except we are talking a world class cocaine pioneer against some fucking nobody who got killed because their ego was 10000000x bigger than their brain. This is western canada. It's big fish in a small pond kinda scenario.

I was at Tupper at the time. One of our teachers lived next door to Bindy at the time, and his tenant was the one killed by mistake because he also walked his rottie late at night like Bindy did.
I lived in the neighborhood where they killed the first Dosanjh brother, I missed being at the shooting by 30 minutes because I missed my bus.
Does anyone know why the hell they wanna make a movie about some dead gangbanger from the 90's? Who the fuck cares?
I'm east Indian and I don't give two shits about this faggot Bindy. People like him give the indo community a bad rep. All this movie will do is glorify him and introduce kids into his twisted life style.
I'm in my mid 30s so I recall Johal and stuff that was going on at the time between him and his crew and the Dosanjh brothers and Lotus. Ran into Johal once when he came by my school's smoke pit to visit some of his boys, he seemed normal enough but everyone knew who he was and to be walking on eggshells around him as he could snap at a moments notice.
I wouldn't worry about this film glamorizing his life too much or influencing todays youth much, I doubt it'll even be seen by many, its a low budget Canadian film, funded in part by Telefilm Canada with no major distributor.

let's get stereotypical. i grew up during the bindy times. i'm 34.
the indo community is what gives the indo community a bad rep.
i've seen many parents turn a blind eye to their indo sons activity then claim he was a good boy when he's dead in a burned out car.
indo houses stacked to the ceiling with stolen goods. i've seen houses like that and the parents don't do shit. 10 sets of wheels, 50 decks, 50 subs.
or a jobless 20 year old rolling around in a 100k vehicle living at home.
these "kids" where high school to early 20's age living at home.
so blame a small indie movie that very few people will see, OR LOOK IN THE FUCKING MIRROR.

when the film is introduced to the public it will leave the director's control, which creates the possibility for it to be read in a way that venerates Bindy, but being familiar with Mehta's filmography, I can say with certainty that it will be a critical take on that component of the indo community. In other words, it will be that "fucking mirror".

Surrey was giving indo Canadians a bad rep, well before bindy...

I went to McNair from 92-94 so the Legend of Bindy passed through my school. Quite a few of the rougher EI guys in my classes ended up running with Bindy's crew and a couple got shot over the years (not surprisingly to any of my classmates).
For those who are old enough - McNair was also home to the machete attack in 93! Respect!
