The Great Indian Kapil Show

I won't blame Netflix, but perhaps the entire cast for the slow start and some repeated jokes.

Initially, I was eager since the show on Netflix was more accessible across the border, unlike YouTube where there was no cutting or editing of songs, etc. That was a positive aspect. However, the cast's performance was quite mediocre.

Archana Puran Singh seemed to be forcing herself to laugh harder than ever before and contribution to the show was absolutely and totally nothing.

Kapil started with the usual routine but with very dull introductory jokes.

Sunil Grover's return was welcomed, considering his strong presence in the show, but his solo endeavors in movies, etc., were just terrible.

Krushna Abhishek's performance was mediocre; it could have been better.

Kiku's portrayal as a chef was very uninspiring; his second appearance was below average.

The show lacked substance and seemed like a desperate attempt at humor. It could have been better. Fresh jokes with better punchlines are needed.

I won't make a final judgment based on the first episode; let's hope the subsequent ones are better.

Kapil has own style, its one of a kind. His loyalists will always watch and itll be pretty ordinary for the others.

Its bound to get repetitive, how long can you carry out such stuff, jokes will end eventually. That theyre still carrying it on is a big deal.

The surrounding is changed a bit and thats the best repackaging they can do.

Cant get much more from a show like this.

Grover is a great return, the other starts are fine but badly misses Chandu and Simona. Hope they come back. Will add two more stars to the rating. Its the overall combination over the years that has grown into the audience.

Even if your not a fan, a bit of unlinked comedy never hurt. Give us more.

Didn't felt for a second that I was watching Kapil sharma show but a very sad and non laughable show, the much awaited stint of Sunil grover was only flirting with Ranbir and makes it more cringy when the kind of make out, same 10 years old techniques, I thought there will be a better comedy but you will hardly laugh through all the episodes. I know Netflix bot will start giving it 8-9 star ratings to make it popular ad they do it with all their shows. But this one was a sad show instead of a comedy show. It would have been better that Sunil grover was given more length and better appearance than being same like guthi. I hope they do better in coming episodes.

I was done in the first 5 mins when Ranveer Kapoor and Kapil Sharma's posing as Netflix logo and sound.

I was waiting for Sunil Grover's entry but couldn't bare the torture till then and had to turn off the TV.

I would not recommend this to anyone and save your time. Also, they repeatedly emphasize that this show is broadcasted in 190 countries but just so you know no one's gonna watch except Indian (not even Indian with this quality of joke) The another most annoying character in this show is that lady judge. She even confessed that she was made laughed forcefully even on poor jokes.

Edit: starting from Sunil Grover's entry till the end it was good show.

Netflix is giving this show so much less time which can't fulfill its purpose properly. The comedians have to compromise a lot in this short duration which is hampering the quality of the show. As netflix is not a TV broadcasting platform, they can easily increase their time limit of the show. I have been watching Kapil's show for many years and they used to be lengthy where every actor could perform their best comedy.

I think if they could produce the show in India (still using Netflix platform) then they would have reached variety of celebrity guests rather than making in Australia . I would highly appreciate if they increase the air time of the show only then it can succeed up to its potential.
