India’s king of comedy, Kapil Sharma, is all set to make a grand comeback with Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. With his signature blend of wit, satire, and comic timing, Kapil is ready to raise the stakes and bring laughter back into living rooms. The much-awaited announcement promo dropped recently, and it’s already making waves—not just for the show’s return, but for its clever commentary on the current state of comedy in India.
Promo Packs Punch with Sharp Humor
The promo begins with Kapil rallying his trusted comic team—Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and the ever-popular Sunil Grover. Determined to take the show to the next level, Kapil seeks ideas to spice things up. During a humorous exchange, he asks Kiku Sharda, “Show mein kuch bhalta sa kar sakte ho aap?” (Can you do something absurd in the show?).
Kiku responds with a witty and biting remark: “Nahi bhai. Comedy mein aaj-kal kuch ulta-seedha karo toh bhagna padta hai. Aur aapko toh pata hai, ki main bhaag nahi sakta.” (No brother, nowadays if you do anything controversial in comedy, you have to run. And you know I can’t run.)
This quip is seen as a subtle dig at the controversy surrounding Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent, which faced heavy backlash for its below-the-belt humor involving influencers like Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Makhija, and Ashish Chanchlani.
Internet Reacts to the Promo
Social media users quickly caught on to the subtle roast, and the internet flooded with reactions. One netizen wrote, “That ‘India got latent’ roasted.” Another said, “Samay Raina never hurt in this video,” highlighting the indirect jab. Fans also expressed excitement over Sunil Grover’s return as Dr. Mashoor Gulati, a fan-favorite character. One user wrote, “Wish this show aired on Sony TV again—it would’ve broken TRP records!” Calls to bring back “Chandu Chaiwala” also gained momentum.
Laughter Is Back—with a Dose of Real Talk
With The Great Indian Kapil Show returning on June 21 on Netflix, Kapil Sharma and his gang are not only promising full-blown entertainment but are also stepping into a space where comedy meets courage. The promo indicates that while the show will retain its classic fun, it won’t shy away from taking smart, timely digs at the evolving landscape of comedy in India. As the lines between funny and offensive continue to blur, Kapil’s return could not be more perfectly timed.
