The surprise hit of 2006, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America to Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, is coming to DVD on Mar. 6. The release will contain footage not seen in theaters.

This release will have five deleted scenes (presumably some of the same ones posted on YouTube), a deleted scene montage and footage from Borat's publicity tour, including hilarious visits to The Toronto International Film Festival, Cannes, Comic-Con and more. The DVD will contain both the widescreen and full-screen versions of the movie and carry a suggested retail price of $29.98.

Borat has been nominated for two Golden Globes including a Best Actor nod for writer-star Sacha Baron Cohen. To date, the film has earned over $125 million at the domestic box office.
