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.

Media is playing so dumb that comic appears more enlightened.

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

Love this piece by Vir Das. He's very good and this one carries a strong message in this political climate. A MUST WATCH.

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.
