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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing show
rajeswarijain28 April 2024
Kapil Sharma show is best comedy show that people should watch. Kapil sharma ,he always try to make people laugh with his hilarious talk and jokes. Even celebrities love to come in this show. It a good family show ,we can watch it with the family. You will never regret after watching this show, you will love it . Kapil sharma and his team has quality to make people laugh with their jokes .One of the show's highlights is the presence of celebrity guests. Each episode features a big star who talks about their upcoming movies or projects. Kapil Sharma engages with them in a fun and light-hearted manner, often delving into their personal lives..

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.

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.

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.

Moreover, the success of The Kapil Sharma Show can also be attributed to the chemistry and camaraderie among the cast members. Kapil Sharma's rapport with his team, including comedians like Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Bharti Singh, adds an extra layer of charm to the show. Their banter, comic timing, and playful interactions create a dynamic energy that resonates with viewers.

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.

Scripted laughs and punches
saggie-613203 April 2024
Felt as if ranbir was paid to laugh and remain actively involved. Neetu was genuinely involved ..the jokes were repititive and boring , the only saving grace was Sunil Grover , with such an amazing cast they could have created a great show need to change the ambience of the show, didn't feel relatable to the masses since everything felt very sophisticated and rich, and now since I don't have 200 more words to fill, I'm planning to write extra by writing extra but still the review goes on and on and on...please end it it's getting boring now, hopefully this should cover the remaining characters.

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.

Disappointing Shift in Kapil Sharma's Comedy Style on Netflix
dibyanarayan7 April 2024
As a long-time fan of Kapil Sharma's comedy, I eagerly anticipated his arrival on Netflix with "The Great India Kapil Show." However, I was deeply disappointed by the drastic shift in his comedic style. While Sharma's humor was once natural, family-friendly, and effortlessly enjoyable, his recent performances feel forced, unnatural, and uncomfortably semi-erotic. This departure from his original charm makes it challenging to watch the show with family, which was once a cherished activity. I urge comedians to stay true to themselves and avoid resorting to gratuitous humor. Kapil Sharma's comedy was at its best when it was authentic and inclusive.

Overal Good show.
jftdbbjm18 May 2024
The overall show is good dharmendar and sunny deol act is now boring. And each time they have to make a female chracter out oif a man is also boring. It might be funny in 2008 and tens. But same jokes each serial doesnot work. Overall it's engaging. So, aslong as it's not boring me it's fine. Plus seeing actors and a liitle bit of there life in a comedy way is good. My family members had tears with smile on there face in both deol amd amir show. If you see the show with positivity you will find it engaging. But problem with people is they all want to be critics rather than enjoying the show. And all negative comments I am seeing here is because of jealousy and nothing else. So stop being negative. It takes a lot of effort to make someone happy. If all you negative people can make someone laugh you will automatically see you will have a good life. Be positive for other people's success.

Stale performance. Hardly any laugh.
mrig-9457331 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This was supposed to be a comedy program. This has declined. I laughed twice that's it twice. Utter cringe fest. This was not expected from Kapil and team. I hope it gets better with upcoming. And please stop making men do women roles, it is utter cringe to watch. I hope Netflix/Kapil whoever is in charge of the writing criticality reviews their scripts for the next episode. If this is what we will be getting from The Great Indian Kapil Show, your show will definitely not be watched in 192 countries and even Indian audience will stop watching it. Additionally, please stop the Punjabi Bhangras. India is not just Bhangra. Bhangra is too loud and Indians are changing. The Netflix crowd is not like the India tv watching crowd. This show needs to improve a lot.
