The Great Indian Kapil Show Episode 4 Review:- Introducing the brand new Indian comedy talk show on Netflix, hosted by the celebrated Indian comedian Kapil Sharma. Kapil Sharma, known for his stand-up comedy, television anchoring, and singing talents, was honored as one of Forbes India’s top 100 celebrities in 2013, securing the 96th spot. His previous hosting gigs include popular shows such as Comedy Nights with Kapil and Family Time with Kapil. Notably, he clinched victory on Comedy Circus Ke Superstars and was recognized with the Entertainer of the Year award at the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year awards in 2013.
In each episode of his new show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, viewers can expect a variety of artists, ensuring a humorous and entertaining experience for all. The show premieres every Saturday at 8 pm exclusively on Netflix, featuring not only Kapil Sharma but also the talents of Archana Puran Singh, Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and Krushna Abhishek.
Episode 4 of the show kicked off with a hilarious sketch featuring Sunil Grover, portraying a wife desperately searching for her husband who had abandoned her at the airport. Kapil Sharma joined in, adding to the comedic chaos as they comically scoured the premises for the missing man. The star guests of the episode, Vicky Kaushal and Sunny Kaushal, added to the entertainment by engaging with Sunil Grover’s playful antics, with Sunil humorously claiming Vicky as his spouse and even treating the audience to a spirited dance routine.
After Sunil Grover’s act, the focus shifted to Kapil Sharma and the Kaushal brothers for a lively game show segment, where they shared amusing anecdotes and heartwarming moments about their experiences together.
Later in the episode, Kiku Sharda took center stage with his arsenal of jokes, effortlessly keeping the audience in stitches with his clever humor. The energy surged even higher when Krushna Abhishek made his entrance, showcasing dynamic dance moves and delivering some of his most memorable comedic performances of the season. Sunil Grover returned in his engineer character, adding to the merriment with his witty antics and impeccable comedic timing.
The episode showcased the ongoing growth and development of the show, yet there were certain aspects that stood out and warrant discussion. Kapil Sharma’s repeated emphasis on the show’s global reach across 190 countries felt somewhat excessive, as it was reiterated multiple times throughout the episode. Additionally, the segment featuring Sunil Grover cross-dressing and performing a seductive dance may not have been the best fit for a platform like Netflix, where such content might appear out of sync with viewer expectations.
Moreover, Kapil Sharma referring to Sunil as a “product” while in female attire was perceived as insensitive by some viewers. Another notable point was Archana Puran Singh’s role on the show. While she provided comic relief and often became the target of jokes, there is room for her to play a more substantive role beyond being primarily for entertainment value.
Furthermore, the episode appeared to heavily favor Vicky Kaushal. Kapil Sharma directed more questions and conversations towards Vicky, occasionally leaving Sunny Kaushal somewhat sidelined. This bias was also evident in the distribution of jokes, with more being aimed at Vicky rather than Sunny.
Despite these observations, the episode provided a rollercoaster of amusement and continuous entertainment. The camaraderie between the hosts and guests was delightful, and the comedic timing was impeccable. Moving forward, addressing these aspects could ensure a more balanced and inclusive viewer experience. Incorporating a variety of comedic styles and giving equal attention to all guests could further elevate the overall enjoyment of the show.
