      Simplistically moves you

      Worth a watch for those who want to think about the film after its over. Great performance and effective screenplay makes the impact. Delivers exactly what the genre need to . Satish Kaushik performance is at point and specially the small child , she took my heart. Comedy and emotions are not forced making it more impact full.kudos to the producers, director ,writers to tell such a story in a short time with full conviction. After watching the film you might want to think what would be the lives of the yesteryear actors/ performers and were are they today. A message which is so true and people should learn and implement in real life.

      Worth the time.

      Save a tear

      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.

      Happy Tears and Heart-warming!

      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.
