Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 5 (NationPress) The upcoming episode of the streaming sketch comedy show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ will feature Punjabi sensation AP Dhillon and comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi.
Right from the start, Kapil sets a lively atmosphere with a quip about having two global icons on stage – AP Dhillon and Kapil Sharma – leaving Bassi chuckling and embracing his signature self-deprecating humor. One brings a flair from international concerts, while the other delivers punchlines that resonate just as powerfully, indicating to the audience that they’re in for a wild ride.
The hilarity intensifies when Kapil mentions AP Dhillon’s concerts, with ticket prices reportedly soaring to INR 6 lakh, alongside tales of audience members losing their phones and wallets. Kapil’s remark is both sharp and funny: “AP stage pe apna talent dikha rahe the, aur log audience mein apna talent” (AP was showcasing his talent on stage, while audience members showcased their own talent).
Kiku Sharda steps in as Chota Shaikh and Krushna Abhishek as Bada Shaikh, amplifying the fun, while Sunil Grover bursts onto the scene as Diamond Raja, taking the episode into unexpected realms. With bigger jokes and louder laughter, this Funnyvaar edition demonstrates that when Punjab’s finest hit Kapil’s stage, subtlety is left behind.
Previously, the Oscar and Grammy-winning composer A. R. Rahman was on the show, amidst controversy surrounding his views on the Hindi film industry. Alongside him were Vijay Sethupathi, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav. That episode blended silence, music, and hearty laughter.
It also marked Vijay Sethupathi's debut on Kapil’s couch, seamlessly fitting into the lively chaos, while A. R. Rahman reminded everyone of his unmatched stature with minimal words but tremendous impact.
Reflecting on the diverse personalities on the couch, Kapil jokingly suggested that when he learned about the film, Rahman might have wondered, “Aap thode confuse ho gaye the ki yeh aapko playback singer ke liye sign karna chahte the, ya actor ke liye” (You were a bit confused whether they wanted to sign you as a playback singer or an actor).
‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ is available for streaming on Netflix.
