The Great Indian Kapil Show

It's amazing to see kapil killing his own show. One of the greatest shows to be on Indian television coming on Netflix what else could he ask for more. But it seems kapil has lost his sheen and that is what mostly happen to people who take their job forgranted . Even after the famed reunion of him and Grover they are not able to generate half a show they used to deliver 10 years back. So it's time kapil should realise that nothing better than 100 percent would do. He has to get his act straight all 5 episodes were below expectation. I think it's time Indian audience moves towards real comedy. Kapil we expect better.

2 episodes down in this 15 episodes series( read in reports before episode 1 premiered) there is nothing new to talk about and if Netflix took a punt on Kapil Sharma, looks like will end up empty handed. First it wasn't a great idea to ditch tv for OTT, show was originally made for Indian hindi TV audience not for people in 190 or 192 countries. Ofcourse there are whole lot of Indian Diaspora but don't think everyone of those will connect to the show like the TV audience has connected here in India, were most of us habituated to watch the Comedy Nights with Kapil or The Kapil Sharma Show every Saturday and Sunday. Coming back to the content of the show it has nothing special or new to offer than the previous versions of the show. Characters look even lame than previous versions and jokes are flat, repeated or repackaged like Sunny Deol-Bobby Deol act by Kiku and Krushna in episode 1. There was excitement about Sunil Grover returning to the show and even more that it was on Netflix with hopes of comedy that will stand out but alas it hasn't met any of my expectations.

Didn't felt for a second that I was watching Kapil sharma show but a very sad and non laughable show, the much awaited stint of Sunil grover was only flirting with Ranbir and makes it more cringy when the kind of make out, same 10 years old techniques, I thought there will be a better comedy but you will hardly laugh through all the episodes. I know Netflix bot will start giving it 8-9 star ratings to make it popular ad they do it with all their shows. But this one was a sad show instead of a comedy show. It would have been better that Sunil grover was given more length and better appearance than being same like guthi. I hope they do better in coming episodes.

Netflix is giving this show so much less time which can't fulfill its purpose properly. The comedians have to compromise a lot in this short duration which is hampering the quality of the show. As netflix is not a TV broadcasting platform, they can easily increase their time limit of the show. I have been watching Kapil's show for many years and they used to be lengthy where every actor could perform their best comedy.

I think if they could produce the show in India (still using Netflix platform) then they would have reached variety of celebrity guests rather than making in Australia . I would highly appreciate if they increase the air time of the show only then it can succeed up to its potential.

The Kapil Show in Netflix is nowhere there compared to his earlier shows in Sony or Star which you can watch repeatedly and enjoy.

Content: Poor Screentime for each performer: drastically reduced as now it's just 1 hour a week compared to 3 hours a week earlier. Moreover their scripts are also poorly written. Mostly coming out as sick jokes Missing Sumona's charm in the show Looks like Kapil and the performers are busy promoting Netflix rather than paying attention to the content.

If this continues, looks like Netflix will kill Kapil's career.

I really had great expectation from this show, but am thoroughly disappointed.
