Vir Das: For India

This is Vir Das simply being Vir Das. Loved the way the set looked and the simplicity in which he spoke about the biggest topics which perhaps could be controversial.

The door on the set is symbolic in more ways than one and throughout his special we are reminded of the same.

Highly recommended for Indians. Non-Indians wouldn't be disappointed as well.

This special had me laughing and learning about India's history, customs and people throughout the whole time. It was a great and unique experience. I didn't expect it to be this good. Writing and delivery were on point.

Got to know in the first couple of minutes that this is intended largely at the 'Non-Indian' audience, introducing them to the great Indian history through satire. Was a bit uncomfortable watching this from a Non-Indian's point of view in the first half as there were so many anecdotes which they absolutely couldn't have understood. But it just got way better because of the fine writing. Was almost in splits by the end of it. Worth a watch, of course.

For an Indian who's away from home, this would be a completely relatable act - full of historical incidents and dark humour as well. The best part is the way Vir has connected the dots from the very beginning till the very last moment.

Cheers to Old monk and Parle-G :)

Fantastic standup set from Vir Das. Some jokes genuinely made me burst out in laughter. But a lot of references and jokes will proably be hard to follow for people who are not from the Indian subcontinent. Would still 100% recommend to anyone who is a fan of good comedy. One of the best standup specials I have seen in recent years.
