The Comedian

The Comedian is a very heartwarming and at times very emotional movie that ensures a sweet smile on your face with your heart brimming with many emotions. Sir Satish Kaushik provides those sweet chuckles but often, his deft acting performance, makes you see profoundly into his deep and varied emotions, that you can't help but realise how wonderful actor Satish sir is (Artists live on). I absolutely loved the beautiful bond between sir and the young girl 'Riya'. The scene where both tell their respective jokes to each other makes a delightful moment to feel emotional for sir's character but smile on Riya's innocent laughter.

The Comedian is short in run time but lasting in emotional content. Versatile actor Satish Kaushik who we will miss after this his last film is at his best as a down the hill actor and a failure in personal life which makes him grumpy. He is no longer the saught after Comedian.

His life and his view on life and personal relationship is going to change when he meets across the neighbour's balcony a sweet little girl. Pinky-Grace Girdhar, is a girl who everyone would wish to have as one's own daughter, is unforgettable. After the film is over, she is going to linger in the viewer's mind- and heart for ever. I wouldn't narrate the end but suffice to say, the short film and it's two characters will stay with you for ever.

Kudos to Jio Cinema to include The Comedian in the festival, a most deserving choice.

The short film "The Comedian," featuring the late Satish Kaushik, marks the beginning of JioCinema's digital film festival running until October 18. Directed and written by Katyayan Shivpuri, it's one of Kaushik's posthumous releases following his untimely passing in March 2023.

The film delves into the life of aging actor-comedian Hasmukh (Kaushik), whose career has dwindled, leading to a fractured family due to his recklessness. Burdened by frustration and bitterness, his life takes an unexpected turn when he forms a touching friendship with an ailing child named Ria.

"The Comedian" brilliantly conveys the fading glory of Hasmukh's career, showcasing his struggles and the irony of his cheerful name. It draws parallels with Sanjay Mishra's "Kaamyaab," exploring the challenges faced by senior artists in an evolving industry.

The emotional core of the film lies in Hasmukh's transformation through his bond with Ria, who imparts valuable lessons about love and companionship as she battles cancer. Despite some minor issues with dialogue and character development, the film shines with heartfelt moments and serves as a tribute to Kaushik's artistry.
