Vir Das: Landing

Never heard of the guy but was influenced to watch due to the high ratings, which are deserved IMHO! Most of his act revolves around his observations of the American culture where he was raised, but felt like an outsider. Likewise, he felt estranged from Indian culture because he was too Westernized. Lots of material for immigrant-type humor, which I love, as a 2nd-generation native.

Apparently he's had some recent controversy, which he refers to also, including death-threats and being accused of being a traitor. He plays upon this several times.

There is some sexual banter and cursing, though he doesn't stress or depend on it for shock value.

I look forward to watching his other special.

Vir Das' latest special revolves around his observations about certain things in American cultures, his experiences over what started out as a tumultuous 2022, and his general opinion on patriotism vs nationalism.

While he does try to be a bit flippant about the things he underwent over 2022, you can see that he is upset about a lot of things. And, this hurt at times hinders what is actually a very good stand up special from becoming great.

However, this is only seen about three quarters into the special. For the most part, Vir is his usual funny, irreverent, and, at times, philosophical self.

Despite a slight slowing down in middle, I'd still recommend this special.

Great writing and story telling. Comedy was a stretch in between filled with irrelevant stories. What I liked was the intent, delivery and logic behind. Really well done but Vir has done better stage performances than this one. Not sure if Netflix rushed him into writing something up quickly to cash up on his recent controversy. If given enough time, this could have been a masterpiece. There was a bit less content and more fillers than what Vir usually has on his writing. Overall a great story telling and energy. I really want to see Vir live some day. Big fan of his work and I am a patriotic, Indian NRI :)

Seriously his ways are too good to expose the world hypocrisy specially of our own, in his satiric ways If you are someone who's not a chaatu n can digest the truth go for it.

It's a beautiful amalgamation of comedy and storytelling. It even has personal and intimate touch. Truly enjoyed watching this gem of a person making magic on stage. The concept was also really intelligent and it's definitely a must watch. I laughed throughout the special but there were moments where it got a bit emotional and was brought back to comedy through sarcasm. If you're a Vir Das fan, this is something new we get to watch from him as a side of him. Some bits were so relatable that I was dying with laughter. Watch it on the biggest screen you possibly can. A must watch for all comedy lovers.
