The original stand up comedian, immensely popular and very very versatile Kapil Sharma has started his new season on Netflix. While surfing Netflix, I also came across his stand up show, “ I am not done yet”. This show has Kapil in his new avatar that’s much beyond the light hearted banter on his shows that has endeared him to large masses.
In this show, Kapil narrates the days of his struggle, the very touchy story of his long courtship of with Gini, his wife, his first tryst with Mumbai, encouragement and support that he got from his father and the story of his ultimate success in a poignant manner, intermittently laced with his hallmark wit and humour. He ends up this show with a fine tribute in the form of an English song dedicated to his late father, “ Because you’re watching”! The show that’s supposed to be a comedy and wit laced, typical of Kapil, ends on a very emotional note and presents the Kapil, as a person firmly committed to his family and rooted to his tradition, as against the projected image of a flamboyant, conceited and egotistic Kapil!
The new show, the first episode of which celebrates the success of Bollywood blockbuster Animal with Ranbir, his mother, Neetu and sister Ridhima, has all the Kapil’s devils – Kiku, Krishna, Archana and one who was sorely missed in the previous two seasons, the redoubtable Sunil Grover and the show is mounted lavishly.
All the best Kapil for this new season on Netflix. But stay humble and rooted as reflected by your stand up show and you will touch new heights of fame and success.
