Just when we thought that the Aamir Khan episode saved The Great Indian Kapil Show comes the news that the team has wrapped up Season One of the show after six episodes. An avid show watcher was very critical and said, “I am not surprised. It was bound to wrap up…how can anyone eat a dhokla that has been served like pizza?” The show ever since it went to Netflix did not seem to have the same draw, stickiness and buzz like it was on Sony TV during weekends. The general feedback is that there is no novelty or freshness; even Sunil Grover who returned to show after a gap of seven years failed to regale the audience. His earlier avatar as Guthi was better than current one as Dafli. Even Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda who have emotional bonding with the audiences and guests seemed to have lost their zing. Also, missing from the show are Chandan Prabhakar, Sunil Lahiri and Sumona Chakraborty. Essentially, the show failed to deliver the punch for which it was famous for. Is it because OTT caters to a different audience while TV channels are watched by the entire family? Kapil Sharma started his comedy show in 2016 and it was getting very good traction. But soon he had a fall out with his team mates like Sunil Grover. Post that he shifted the show to Sony TV and got Salman Khan to bank roll it. Now, the quick wrap of Season One has raised eyebrows but Netflix has quickly reacted saying that Season Two with seven episodes will feature celebrities like Ed Sheeran, Anil Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Sania Mirza. Only Ed Sheeran is a new catch, the rest of the guests are usual suspects. Season Two will effectively spell out which way Kapil Sharma and his show is going.
