Zakir Khan: Tathastu

TATHASTU is an absolute Roller Coaster ride of emotions. I've seen Tathastu Live as well & still couldn't stop myself from watching it again. There are so many things you miss upon first viewing. Everytime you watch it you will catch & relate to something new. Comedy comes from Tragedy & Zakir uses that in the best possible way. The legacy of the Khans is Beautiful & You realize that artistry runs in the family & Zakir has a legacy of his own. An impossible feat to achieve legendary status for an Artist blooming post Short Form Content Era. The purity of this special & Zakir Khan is incomparable.

Seriously i got goosebumps in last 20-25 minutes you are amazing. The story of your life and struggle you have done hats of to you man. You made us laugh and cry! You are the one and only standup comedian in the entire universe. Things got change according to the time indeed you taught us nothing is impossible in this world our thinking make it so. We keep trying no matter what situation it was and whatever anyone things. People will put question ultimately family is the most important to us. Sometime you are going from hectic schedule things changed whenever you share feelings to family and closeones.

How many colours can a man have?

Tathasthu is a roller coaster ride of emotions, drama, laughter and beats of realness in the story.

If there was a ship sailing in the sea, Zakir could have escaped it from the waves. How can someone in a real sense describe the journey so well.?

Every emotion, Every vocal that has come out from your heart has reached your audience. It made me cry to the core that I started missing my Grandparents.

Sometimes the loss you have gives power to you but it keeps you so grounded that you started acting like the person you hated once.

Love you to the core Zakir bhai !!!

Once you said in a program, Itne qabil bano sahab k kisi din bethakr biryaani khaaye saath !!

I am so overwhelmed and so proud of you.

Love you Always bhai.

The specials works best for you when you know the guy to some extent, his sense of humor, his narration style and some major achievements in his life such as his Delhi Girl stand-up video. This standup special is unlike something you've ever seen, Instead of 25 different bits, Zakir tells different stories about his life, both hilarious and heartbreaking. To be able to take an audience from side-splitting laughter to tears with just a turn of phrase is astounding and Zakir does so with aplomb. He very casually shares words of wisdom that it is so beautiful to watch. I had a smile on my face throughout the show because that is how well Zakir connects with his audience.

The special makes you feel bad for not getting to watch it live.

It is beautiful. Even if you're not that big a fan of standup comedy, you should just watch the show for the experience.

The thing about Zakir Khan is he is a wordsmith first and a comic second. The choice of words, the delivery, the life lessons are so masterful that many parts of his set is quotable. He is India's George Carlin.

There are very few stand-up comics who you genuinely love. The way Indian audience love Arijit Singh and how an Indian city would come to standstill when Arijit performs, traffics rerouted, areas cordoned off, entire football ground converted to parkings, Zakir Khan is in that league of comics, Indian audience genuinely loves him.

Talking about the set, this set is extremely experiential. You need to sit down and watch the set, laugh, chuckle, smirk, hide a few laughs and dry your eyes from time to time. This set can be but need not be summarized in a few lines. Just like most of Carlin's sets.

All I want to say about the set is, you can wear this set as a winter coat when things feel cold around you, and it will keep you warm. And if you need a non-Carlin reference to gauge how good it is, think of Panchayat Season 1 or Kota Factory Season 1.

Zakir, if you are reading this, you kept the magic intact through out. Spellbound!
