Zakir Khan: Tathastu

Seriously i got goosebumps in last 20-25 minutes you are amazing. The story of your life and struggle you have done hats of to you man. You made us laugh and cry! You are the one and only standup comedian in the entire universe. Things got change according to the time indeed you taught us nothing is impossible in this world our thinking make it so. We keep trying no matter what situation it was and whatever anyone things. People will put question ultimately family is the most important to us. Sometime you are going from hectic schedule things changed whenever you share feelings to family and closeones.

Zakir and his specials, the guy is a wonderful story teller and this time around he narrates the story of his Abba ji (Grandfather). The 1:30 hour special is so beautifully performed by Zakir recollecting all his memories with his Abba. Zakir takes you through his life from when he was a kid to where he is today. Special thanks to Tanmay and AIB who gave him the chance. AIB has created so many ripples and we as the audience are reaping the benefits. Also I remembered on air with AIB, what an amazing concept that was, so ahead of its time (like all the things that AIB has done). Absolutely loved the special. 10/10 would recommend.

Unable to process it even after 1 hour of watching.

What just i saw.

How can someone makes you laugh like hell and next minute you are crying watching same person.

Felt like i was there at funeral of your Abbaji because the way zakir express was so real.

I never written any review earlier i just watch and leave even if liked or not.

I couldn't resist myself.

Forwarded to my kattar hindu friend to watch this. We are just human with same emotions, kindness. Stay happy. Spread love.

One of the best thing watched so far . So overwhelmed , unable to express, out of word literally.

Thanks zakir.

The thing about Zakir Khan is he is a wordsmith first and a comic second. The choice of words, the delivery, the life lessons are so masterful that many parts of his set is quotable. He is India's George Carlin.

There are very few stand-up comics who you genuinely love. The way Indian audience love Arijit Singh and how an Indian city would come to standstill when Arijit performs, traffics rerouted, areas cordoned off, entire football ground converted to parkings, Zakir Khan is in that league of comics, Indian audience genuinely loves him.

Talking about the set, this set is extremely experiential. You need to sit down and watch the set, laugh, chuckle, smirk, hide a few laughs and dry your eyes from time to time. This set can be but need not be summarized in a few lines. Just like most of Carlin's sets.

All I want to say about the set is, you can wear this set as a winter coat when things feel cold around you, and it will keep you warm. And if you need a non-Carlin reference to gauge how good it is, think of Panchayat Season 1 or Kota Factory Season 1.

Zakir, if you are reading this, you kept the magic intact through out. Spellbound!

TATHASTU is an absolute Roller Coaster ride of emotions. I've seen Tathastu Live as well & still couldn't stop myself from watching it again. There are so many things you miss upon first viewing. Everytime you watch it you will catch & relate to something new. Comedy comes from Tragedy & Zakir uses that in the best possible way. The legacy of the Khans is Beautiful & You realize that artistry runs in the family & Zakir has a legacy of his own. An impossible feat to achieve legendary status for an Artist blooming post Short Form Content Era. The purity of this special & Zakir Khan is incomparable.
