Pop Kaun

The entire series was amazing. Comedy had become repetitive for sometime now but this had its uniqueness. The story had funny twists and dialogue writing was very refreshing. The habits of some of the characters to either mixup words or to react little later than actual events were intelligently thought and was hilarious. All episodes put together is slightly longer than a movie runtime but I only wish it was longer. I strongly recommend to watch this series if you're someone who enjoys light hearted comedy. This series definitely had few moments where you would burst out of laughter.

Casting was spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed this series.

This is very mutch brilliant.. if u hav been a fan of bollywood movies since Govinda times. Uv gona luv the characters.. but this is no old age style commedy.. its pretty much very sarcastic and inteligent comedy Its fun to watch old favorites together again.. What give is next edge is Brilliant Kunal Khemu.. lvd him in Go Goa Gone.. he is just british level comedian.. i truly insist u guys to watch this.. Indian Comedy is in terrible decline.. nd these guys are actually saving it.. This series walks the sensitive line of comedy thats not even seen for the past 20 years.. Worth watching guys.. !!

To be frank, the series that sparked my interest and led me to watch it didn't live up to my expectations, leaving me with no desire to re-watch it.

Pros: The series offers a refreshing break from the current trend of dark humor and dark storylines, making it a great choice for family viewing.

The outstanding cast, including Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Satish Kaushik, Chunky Pandey, Saurabh Shukla and Zakir Hussain, creates a brilliant pool of characters that is sure to please audiences.

Kunal Khemmu deserves special recognition for his exceptional acting, while Jamie does a fair enough job in her role.

The message conveyed at the end of the series is something that our country needs right now.

Cons: The series focuses too heavily on the central idea of "Pop Kaun?" to the point of becoming predictable and stale.

The humor lacks originality and fails to introduce fresh stock of jokes that could become a trend in recent times.

The series deviates from its actual path and has a very average storyline, which could have been more fun given its outstanding cast.

The jokes and punchlines are forced and stale, resembling those from childhood. #ForcedRhymes #StaleHumor #PoorExecution The character of Nupur feels like a misfit in the brilliant casting.

The ending is disappointing, as it fails to deliver anything unexpected, and the cliffhanger towards the second season with the same storyline of searching for Nupur's Pop Kaun? Feels lame and stale.

The series ultimately disappoints despite featuring an exceptional cast.

In summary, while the series has some great aspects such as a refreshing change from the current trend, a brilliant cast, and an important message, it falls short with a predictable storyline, stale humor, and a disappointing ending that is unsatisfying for audiences.

Right from when the series begins you will realise how this one is like a random stage play comedy drama.

Scenes change randomly to some scene and intro sequence begins all of a sudden. It feels like a film chopped into a 6 episode series. Everything happening in this series is just random. It feels like a play made for kids and even written by a kid because we are in 2023 and such kind of comedy and execution may not be crass but is outright kiddish. So kids might enjoy this series.

Coming to the comedy. It's a 40% hit and remaining percentage miss. All thanks to the greatest Indian writer Farhad Samji , we are treated to jokes of kindergarten level and we are expected to laugh at them. However, the fact is some comedy sequences genuinely works well like the sequence where Johnny lever while dancing starts to get get a heart attack and everyone assuming he's holding his chest as a dance move follows him xD. Yes some parts will remind you of the 2000s era of comedy in Bollywood but the remaining comedy is just either too childish , too low iq ones or too WhatsApp-ish. A late father is understood by a church father as a father arriving late!! Absolutely nonsense.

Performance wise, all are average. Johnny lever has a few laughs but has the cringiest character. Rajpal Yadav is totally wasted . We get to see late Satish kaushik maybe one last time and he too has been handed some really bad jokes like "baccha girana" (abortion) is termed by him as take a baby and throw it to ground!!?? What rubbish. Kunal khemu is the only one putting in some effort. Saurabh shukla too has a cringy character like Johnny lever. Nupur Sanon, was she even there in this series? Idk.

Overall , if you love kiddish jokes and no brainers, you might like this otherwise skip.

If you are a fan of 2000s Bollywood comedies and the cast, then it is worth watching this film, despite what other critics may say. Director Farhad Samji has shown significant improvement in his comedy directing skills. The plot is straightforward, and some of the jokes may be familiar, but the presentation is enjoyable. The characters are well-written, and the story remains grounded, with excellent comic timing throughout. The entire cast delivers their roles with their best efforts, making for an entertaining experience. In recent movies, I haven't laughed as much, but this one gave me unexpected fun. I watched it in two seatings only, which speaks to it's watchability. The songs are well-suited for the comedy genre, although I skipped most of them. While the storyline may not always make sense, it's all in good fun.
