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.

I never write reviews but all the stupid hate ratings made me wanna do this. Vir is a benchmark for indian standup comedians. He is one of those rare comics who is intellectually as well as emotionally stimulating, though he dealt with tender issues, his heart was at the right place. He can be offensive at times, to that i say that no good humor came from being polite!! A must watch if you enjoy quality comedy.

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.

As an Indian I found it really interesting how he brought humor in complicated history of ours which is really thing to cherish. More power to you Vir, well done.

Vir Das talks and laughs about topics which are universal, while adding a unique Indian twist. You don't need to be Indian to understand, relate and laugh when he talks about the human condition, politics, religion, love. Those into standup will recognise his influences, but these are subtle - he doesn't steal jokes, just takes similar approach to easily recognisable western comedians. When it comes to more local jokes it helps if you know a bit about the history and the culture of India, but he also helps out by providing hilarious explanations for non-Indians. Overall a great set, funny and moving. 9/10
