Typical but watchable
jordansteel8 April 2024
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.

I guess kapil doesn't like to pay writers
Thepunjabiviewer4 May 2024
It's amazing to see kapil killing his own show. One of the greatest shows to be on Indian television coming on Netflix what else could he ask for more. But it seems kapil has lost his sheen and that is what mostly happen to people who take their job forgranted . Even after the famed reunion of him and Grover they are not able to generate half a show they used to deliver 10 years back. So it's time kapil should realise that nothing better than 100 percent would do. He has to get his act straight all 5 episodes were below expectation. I think it's time Indian audience moves towards real comedy. Kapil we expect better.

'Good Humour and Guest Entries'
mahekrudani-5812830 April 2024
I specially like the entry style of the guests and humour of the Kapil in the new Netflix kapil show.

The whole setup of the show is based on the "Airport" theme which is decent.

They should include things which creates more laughter and have humour involvement although it is good at present but can be improved.

All characters are playing good role in the show it gives various achievements to them and tue public is supporting them.

The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony TV had done fantabulous job in television sector but now the OTT platforms are increasing in the trends so Netflix have played a great move by promoting it to the OTTs.

After 1-2 episodes, they are improving
rishi-2635317 April 2024
I have been following Kapil since the Comedy Circus days, and this time also bought Netflix Subscription only for Kapil. But the show has failed to meet the expectation level.

With such a less time duration, Kapil unable to present their skill fully.

When we are expecting a better vibe, the show has failed to reach the Sony tv level vibe even.

The NETFLIX is not giving the show enough time to Artist.

First and 3rd episode, it is quite clear that Netflix has used this show for their own promotion. It is too much in 3rd, when they are putting Movie trailer, shooting video in between the episode.

Please rectify all the issue...

Update:: Now it looks like Netflix has understood the issues. They have started to rectify. Now the show has more entertainment.

It was Superb but...
mahsanvlogs30 March 2024
It has undoubtedly carved its niche in the realm of Indian comedy entertainment with its humorous sketches and engaging performances. However, there is room for improvement to make the show even more enjoyable.

One aspect that stands out is the need for a greater variety of sketches. While the existing sketches are entertaining, adding more diverse skits could enhance the show's appeal to a wider audience. Incorporating fresh concepts, characters, and comedic situations could inject new energy into the program and keep viewers eagerly anticipating each episode.

Another area for enhancement is the length of the episodes. Currently, the episodes seem to be on the shorter side, leaving viewers craving more laughter and entertainment. Extending the duration of each episode could provide ample time for the comedians to explore their characters, develop engaging storylines, and deliver more punchlines, resulting in a more satisfying viewing experience.

Too condensed - but not lost their charm.
Pip-4184020 April 2024
Well done Kapil for going mainstream/international. Netflix has unfortunately condensed a 2 hour show (Sat/Sun) into about 35 mins, what were they thinking, this limits the scope for Kapil and team to get into characters and interact fully. Great to see Sunil back. I assume old characters are tied to Sony and Colours and possibly not relatable to an international audience outside the Indian community. I still eagerly await each new episode on Saturday, which I can watch at about 4pm UK. Still a must watch despite lots of petty negative reviews. Keep it up Kapil and team. Shame it took Kapil to go International for Aamir Khan to finally grace the show, this shows the pull Kapil has.

Slow start
rehmankhilji30 March 2024
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.

Boring stale content and characters
hoodajyoti-901062 April 2024
Since its inception, the journey has been plagued by a downward spiral, but this recent downturn is unparalleled. I can't fathom how they could overlook their humble beginnings. The characters lack depth, rendering the narrative tedious and predictable. Each installment offers nothing but recycled content, devoid of innovation, and if anything, it's regressed into a state even more lackluster than before. The essence of the original spark seems lost amidst this stagnation. It's disheartening to witness such a promising journey devolve into a monotonous cycle of mediocrity. It's as if they've forgotten the very essence of their creative inception.

Good to see a modest side of Aamir
travelport-020004 May 2024
Witnessing Aamir Khan step away from his famed perfectionist image to reveal a more humble and approachable side was truly refreshing. The show itself might hover around a 6 to 7 out of 10, but Aamir's charismatic presence undeniably added a significant boost. He openly discussed his past failures, shared intimate details about his family, and recounted interesting stories from his shooting days, providing a rare glimpse into his personal and professional life. This appearance was a departure from the usual perception of him as aloof and overly meticulous, showcasing instead a more humane and relatable side. For fans and critics alike, this shift made the show far more engaging and memorable.

It's suppose to be a comedy show
chinmaypmahajan4 April 2024
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.

"The Kapil Sharma Show"" is a wildly popular Indian comedy talk show hosted by the talented comedian Kapil Sharma. It has garnered a massive fan following since its inception and continues to entertain audiences with its hilarious episodes. From stand-up comedians to singers and dancers, aspiring artists get the opportunity to shine on national television, gaining recognition and support from viewers across the country. This aspect of the show not only entertains the audience but also serves as a stepping stone for talented individuals to pursue their dreams in the world of entertainment.

Must watchable show
itsmetanujaa28 April 2024
Kapil sharma show is an outstanding comedy show. The show also showcases musical performances by talented singers and musicians. It adds an extra layer of entertainment and gives the audience a chance to enjoy some great music. However, like every coin, there are two sides. Sometimes, the jokes can be a bit cheesy, and there might be a few episodes where the comedy falls a bit flat. But overall, the show's entertainment quotient is high, and it guarantees a good laugh! If you enjoy comedy, music, and celebrity banter, The Kapil Sharma Show is a must-watch. It will keep you entertained and leave you with a smile on your face!

Netflix knows how to kill the vibe!
aman0109198630 March 2024
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.

Torture!!!!
nidgupta-550742 April 2024
Watched for some time, couldn't handle it anymore. Lame jokes, no laughs at all!

Celebs questions were so boring!!

Can't believe in this Era when we have such amazing comedians, where you can't stop laughing, Kapil is still on his 10 years old jokes. No one laughs on them!!!

He needs to upgrade his game.

I felt Netflix level has gone down. This show is supposed to be talk show and comedy show. Unfortunately, neither is it as lively talk show as coffee with Karan or nor comedy show as any other comedy show on Prime Video.

If something worked 10 years ago, doesn't mean it will work now!!!

Jokes needed to be upgraded, minimum requirement is one should laugh right, and talk show format needs to be improved. Stop asking boring questions with celebs.

gopalpandey-148233 April 2024
Great comeback with this show Although the first episode was not much funny but still it had given good laughs and was worth watching and honestly I'm happy to see Sunil Grover back as his acting was best and he made me laugh multiple times with his action and appearance Hoping for more hilarious and humourous episodes Good going kapil sharma This is going to be a big hit not only in india but in the whole world if english dub is available

Also most standup comedy shows aren't suitable for watching with parents but we can watch This show with our parents and can spend good time with laughter In a nutshell Good one!

Thoroughly Disappointed
abhijitsen-847189 April 2024
The Kapil Show in Netflix is nowhere there compared to his earlier shows in Sony or Star which you can watch repeatedly and enjoy.

Content: Poor Screentime for each performer: drastically reduced as now it's just 1 hour a week compared to 3 hours a week earlier. Moreover their scripts are also poorly written. Mostly coming out as sick jokes Missing Sumona's charm in the show Looks like Kapil and the performers are busy promoting Netflix rather than paying attention to the content.

If this continues, looks like Netflix will kill Kapil's career.

I really had great expectation from this show, but am thoroughly disappointed.

"While ""The Kapil Sharma Show"" has garnered immense popularity and positive reviews, it has also faced its fair share of controversies and ups and downs. However, Kapil Sharma's ability to bounce back and keep the show going is a testament to hisKapil Sharma and his team use their platform to shed light on various topics, encouraging viewers to reflect on important issues while being entertained. By infusing comedy with social commentary, the show manages to strike a balance between entertainment and education, making it both enjoyable and thought-provoking. Another noteworthy aspect of The Kapil Sharma Show is its ability to create memorable moments that stay etched in the minds of viewers long after the episode ends.

These unforgettable moments become part of pop culture, sparking conversations, memes, and references that resonate with fans across generations."

Garbage show...
mailforthespammers7 April 2024
Absolutely garbage episodes.. you called Rohit and Iyer and didn't even let them talk a bit.. what was the point of calling the guests if all you guy's wanna do is throw silly jokes at the audiences. And the characters are also really boring... And with the Sunil Grovers that dirty dance you crossed the limit.. is this really family show or what.. absolute garbage wasted time of Rohit and iyer as well as of the audiences... Never ever going to forgive you for this I was waiting for the Rohit to come to kapil's show since so long and what you guys made .. garbage.. don't ever call guest and waste their time like this again.. please don't...

Full of life, full of laughter
ratneshchandna24 April 2024
The level of talent, whether it's improv or timing of delivery, is nothing short of hold your belly laughter. If you enjoy life, you will enjoy this show. It has always taken a lighthearted approach through its skits and interactions with their guests.

The much awaited comeback of Sunil Grover (famous for Dr. Mashhoor Gulati) has been well rewarded so far. His new character where he plays an engineer is equally hilarious. Kapil and his team has, in my opinion, prepared better for this show than the last season. Krushna is, as he always has been, the other shining star of this show. Kiku is also as funny as he has been before.

Disappointed as of now
sailemdiana3 April 2024
First episode did not meet expectations. The only good thing about watching this on Netflix was that I can easily skip parts where Kiku Sharda is on screen, he has the talent to suck the fun out of a funny scene.

The first episode seemed like a PR stunt just to whitewash the image of Animal movie so that more people on Netflix watch it. Also, why else would they call such boring people as guests in the first episode.

I hope things change. I have hope. I wish they make Sunil Grover's scenes better. Kiku Sharda used to be funny only when he and Sunil played sisters. He has only been irritating after that.

Kapil Sharma is his usual self. But the other factors greatly affected the show. Even his monologue in the beginning wasn't as good as it should be for an opening episode.

Setup looks nice. Writing is not intelligent. Kapil can be better. Other cast needs to get much better. Better ways should be picked to engage with the guests.

Nothing New to Talk About.
navreview6 April 2024
2 episodes down in this 15 episodes series( read in reports before episode 1 premiered) there is nothing new to talk about and if Netflix took a punt on Kapil Sharma, looks like will end up empty handed. First it wasn't a great idea to ditch tv for OTT, show was originally made for Indian hindi TV audience not for people in 190 or 192 countries. Ofcourse there are whole lot of Indian Diaspora but don't think everyone of those will connect to the show like the TV audience has connected here in India, were most of us habituated to watch the Comedy Nights with Kapil or The Kapil Sharma Show every Saturday and Sunday. Coming back to the content of the show it has nothing special or new to offer than the previous versions of the show. Characters look even lame than previous versions and jokes are flat, repeated or repackaged like Sunny Deol-Bobby Deol act by Kiku and Krushna in episode 1. There was excitement about Sunil Grover returning to the show and even more that it was on Netflix with hopes of comedy that will stand out but alas it hasn't met any of my expectations.

One of the unique aspects of The Kapil Sharma Show is its ability to bring together people from all walks of life through the universal language of laughter.

"One of the key highlights of The Kapil Sharma Show is its stellar lineup of celebrity guests. From Bollywood superstars to sports icons, the show attracts a wide array of personalities who grace the stage with their presence. Kapil Sharma's effortless charm and quick wit create a comfortable environment for guests to open up and share interesting anecdotes from their lives. The camaraderie between Kapil and his guests often leads to spontaneous moments of laughter and fun, making each episode a delightful watch. The show's ability to showcase the personal side of celebrities and bring out their humorous quirks adds a unique touch that resonates with the audience. Whether it's actors promoting their latest films or musicians sharing insights into their creative process, The Kapil Sharma Show offers a refreshing take on celebrity interviews. In addition to its entertainment value, ""The Kapil Sharma Show"" has also been a source of inspiration for many aspiring comedians and performers. Kapil Sharma's journey from a small-town boy with big dreams to becoming one of India's most beloved comedians serves as a testament to hard work, perseverance, and talent. His rise to fame through sheer dedication and passion for comedy resonates with individuals who dare to dream big and pursue their goals against all odds. By sharing his story and experiences on the show, Kapil Sharma inspires others to believe in themselves and follow their passions, no matter how challenging the path may seem."

Furthermore, The Kapil Sharma Show serves as a platform for emerging talent to showcase their skills and connect with a wider audience. Through segments like 'Kapil Ki Toli' and 'Audience Interaction,' aspiring comedians, singers, dancers, and performers get a chance to display their talents on a national platform. This not only provides exposure to new talent but also fosters a sense of inclusivity and encouragement within the entertainment industry. Kapil Sharma's support and encouragement towards budding artists reflect his commitment to nurturing talent and promoting creativity. Overall, The Kapil Sharma Show has successfully carved a niche for itself in the realm of Indian television with its winning combination of humor, celebrity interactions, and talent showcase. The Kapil Sharma Show is not just a television program; it is a celebration of life, laughter, and the human spirit. It reminds us of the power of comedy to uplift, inspire, and unite people from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are a fan of stand-up comedy, music, or simply enjoy a good laugh, the show offers something for everyone. Its ability to create memorable moments, spark conversations, and evoke emotions underscores its significance in the world of entertainment.

Nothing new
vivekpshenoy3 April 2024
Other than a nice looking set, it's the same old recycled "comedy". I can't believe I sat through the entireity! Forced laughter by the guests, self gloating, Archana's uncalled for laughter makes you feel that you are watching a re-run of an old episode. Only good part was that there was no body shaming, making fun of skin color (not yet!) and I won't be surprised if we start seeing that again. Given that the team is aware that this show is now streamed in 192 countries (reminded us a few times), I hope they realize body shaming and making fun of skin color is unacceptable in most countries.

I hope Netflix monitors all episodes closely and takes action when he crosses that line.
