      Amazing Performance!

      The Comedian offers the best experience for Cinema Lovers. Since this is Satish Kaushik Sir's last film, it was an heartfelt and emotional ride throughout.

      This movie is an example for newcomers who want to learn acting, when it comes to showing your emotions and skills on screen, from his first scene to the last scene, Mr. Kaushik made sure to keep me connected with the storyline, and how brilliant is the story line. It keeps you glued to the whole experience. He has given Bollywood some incredible performances in many movies, in fact made 90s kids childhood more fun by his comic timing and authentic acting.

      Kudos to the entire team of "The Comedian"!

      A film that will be remembered as a classic of this era!

      I watched it a week or so back. Fantastic work by everyone involved. Always been a huge fan of Satish Kaushik ji and his work as a comedian. Pappu Pager ko Deewana Mastana mein bhale hi koi bhaari padela hoyenga lekin comedy mein Pappu Pager ko kabhi koi bhaari nahin padela. Even though this is not necessarily a comedy movie, Satish ji's performance is absolutely outstanding!

      This movie reminded me of the old classic Mili...where Amitabh Bachchan is a very snobby/unfriendly/arrogant neighbor like Satish Kaushik in Comedian, and Mili (Jaya Bhaduri) has a terminal illness and how Mili and her friends change Amitabh.

      That was an old classic and Comedian will be remembered as a classic of this era!

      Congratulations to the entire team for making this masterpiece! Satish ji will be missed forever!
