      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.

      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"!
