Yours Sincerely, Kanan Gill

So far, I have found the "specials" on Netflix quite rushed or same themes over and over again. Tonight I came across Yours sincerely and I have never watched standup comedians from India but Kanan definitely was such an incredible surprise: it was funny, it was connected, it made sense, it was entertaining and his facial expressions are priceless. 10 for the effort and support! It was a good time pass indeed! More, more, more!

As far as being funny is concerned, it was funny. No It wasn't hilarious. There were funny moments and there were many. But certain aspects in those moments were interconnected very well and hence well written. Being Kanan Gill, it was well executed too and wonderfully climaxed. Watched it twice in two days. In other words, worth watching.

Aham GacchAmi.

The special is deeply personal and original. Kanan creates his own brand/genre of comedy with philosophical undertones (who knew right?) .There is wit and humor but above all there is so much empathy.

In a world where comedy specials try their best to distract you from your ongoing existential crisis and mental health issues (Voldemort of our society), Kanan manages to pull off the most fun therapy session without being shrinky about it. He doesn't solve for anything, but just puts it out there that "it's okay" to feel these things and you can still go on, laugh about it and do whatever you want to do.

You may enjoy this even more

• If you went to an ICSE school (or have studied Julius Caesar)
• If you realise how flawed the Indian education system it
• You were not the popular kid in school
• If you are a fan of Fight Club

For all the people that thought Kanan was the "pretty one" in pretentious movie reviews, here he is with a special which is high on EQ talking about things which are not political, overtly sexual or are gossip/criticism. This is him talking about something human and basic as sadness, joy, friendship etc from the most Indian original perspective.

P.S: I agree that The Teetar joke did not fit in this special but it's ok.

I'm not a pro I saw it cos I was bored and I loved every single minute of it, if you guys have time watch it it's good for "time-pass".

As someone who has been following the Indian comedy scene and Kanan Gill specifically for years, this makes me proud of the comic and in fact, the person he is today. If you talk bout the humour quotient, right from the first five minutes, I was down with laughter. Though I might love a lot of other comedy specials that release online, hardly any has this effect on it. The special is filled with all sort of punchlines, call-back references and even PJs. Look out for PJs especially. Not only is the special exceptionally funny, it teaches you something. He doesn't preach you anything, he just shares his experiences and how he perceived and perceives life now. And that in itself, leaves an impact on you. Watch this if you don't love life that much, because it will tell you that life isn't as serious as you're making it to be.
