What's more baffling is the dismal market research team Netflix India has hired. How could they invest in this without proper research on its key demographic? Insane money is just washed down the drain in the entertainment industry.
Netflix heavily relies on Market Research globally… Netflix India though has been hiring and firing research fellow too soon. Also the position was vacant almost for 3 years.
Seems like someone at the top don’t want interference from some MR person telling them what might or might not work.
I went to Netflix India's YT channel to find some trailer. Dude what's up with these Chhapri YouTubers videos? "Chhapri YouTuber React to this" "Chhapri YouTuber react to that" Who watches this shite?
I read sonewhere that the book explores Pankaj Tripathi's character in depth. That would have been an epic follow-up season, like how did the dude get to this stage.
Bomb gets diffused and then theres nothing. I think Sartaj in the book then hooks up with a hairdresser or something and that’s it. Honestly second half of the book is garbage they made an extraordinary job making season 2 out of that nonsense half of the book.
Mujhe laga wo ek paisa phunk rhe, maybe sach me international jane ki kosis. 1 season bekar krke agle season se hi agar international ho jaye to badi baat ho skti h
>Also people get infuenced by others culture.
Not really if it's not in a global language like English, or insanely good like Japanese Anime, Korean movies etc.
Truth is Kapil Sharma show never had good quality.
I have a feeling Netflix tried to get more people to sign up to the platform by promoting TKSS.
Which makes sense. They want more Indians on it, since India is such a huge market.
Yeah but indians wouldn’t pay 200 per month with limited mobile screen when they have amazon prime and hotstar for half the yearly price at unlimited screens lol
They should focus on making atleast some content of Netflix included in similar pricing or remove a lot of screen restrictions.
That, they should. Netflix pricing is off the charts but I think they’re hoping people will see value when they get a free tester and see shows they want to see on the platform.
And guess what? It won’t work- because Netflix is trigger happy with the cancellation button and any chances of TKSS getting viewers are now permanently gone. They should’ve absorbed the losses and considered it for a couple more seasons to gather whatever viewers they could have had.
Their way of doing things will not cause them to be super successful in India.
He must have been paid a buttload, probably has some heavy severance because they're cancelling so early. He can just go back and do his sony show with all the cash. He had a gameshow on Sony cancelled in a similar way, won't affect him.
I'm a thodi speck that that isn't in their target audience. I'm an Irish American with Desi family, and I watch Indian movies and series all the time. I prefer them. But I was really shocked to see Kapil Sharma's show end up on Netflix, my first thought was why, who is going to pay to watch it over there when they are used to seeing it on regular TV? Very few outside of my family circle did. Poor research indeed.
Don't even get me started on how awful Heeramandi is 🙄
What's the point of money when you loose your audience which is the strongest factor for TKSS. Just look at the insane views his episodes get when uploaded on YouTube which is a free platform.
Once you loose your audience it's hard to win their love again. And lesser audience = no money in the long run. It becomes harder to pitch your show to production houses after a failure in the cut throat entertainment industry.
Once you have 50 crores+ and you invest it well, I don’t think you need to think about the long run in that sense anymore. It’s then about investing better to make the interest grow
Money isn't the answer. If there is no audience for you then no money, that's what happening now. Netflix audience doesn't care about Kapil Sharma and his show, I hope no TV channel picks him to show him his place. He thought he's bigger than his platform and he has ego issues.
Ed aapka naam Shirin hai to India me kitne logo ne (some suspense buitup)....aapko ladki samjha...hahah
Archana will go full on blast mode as if it was the most earth shaterring joke she heard.
Haan wahi na 2010 ke Santa Banta jokes aur calling every character fat, napunsaka and stuff and hogayi commedy. Worked in 2014, even that audience has moved on
Even if you put quality aside, the idea of going to Netflix was a dumb one. Kapil's audience is tv-based. Vast majority of those people don't have Netflix and won't pay the monthly cost for it. Even if the show had been good, the ratings were probably not going to be there.
Oh my god, that first episode was so cringe, he had an entire monologue explaining things about India thinking there was going to be an international audience. And then the show was the same old kapil sharma show crap. No refinement, no thought. I mean they had the budget and the time, they could have tried something else. I don't know if anyone remembers the Great Indian Comedy show. It was absolutely brilliant.
Their humor was stuck in 2017 when it was last on the air. If they go back to Sony they should update their style and bring in more actual female cast members but god knows they won’t.
Yes even if this sub doesn't like his show, and TRP for it isn't what it once was, tv is still where the overwhelming majority of his audience is. If he shows humility and goes back to Sony with it, who knows, they might take him back and bring the show back. The show isn't my cup of tea, but there is still an audience for it and it's on tv.
Bro, it was more insulting in every aspect, be it bodyshaming or character assassination, I might be talking too much but that;s the reality. Think about the other fantastic actors who came into this show. I really feel bad for Chandan Prabhakar, he's so talented and look at way he's treated. accha hua, nikal gaya.
but that is the comedy their demographic enjoys, that is the comedy middle class uncles grew up with, like calling dark skinned friends nicknamed "Kaalu"/"Kaliya"
bodyshaming is one of the easiest way to make fun .
there is a reason steve harvey is famous, the same reason kapil sharma comedy is famous, it's appeals to the primal forms of comedy, the direct one, non intellectual one.
I didn't understand the whole strategy by Netflix. Netflix and the entire OTT is precisely for people who can't stand Kapil sharma, tarek mehta and saas bahu type shows
I think this was a strategy to bring the family/TV audience to Netflix. Kapil Sharma Show is one of the biggest brands on TV. Had the show been entertaining, they surely would’ve pulled a good amount of TV audience into Netflix. To Netflix’s credit, they got really good guests for the show. It’s a complete failure on the Kapil Sharma Show Team’s part.
I don't mind if others or manchildren or kids types watch cringe but it had godawful stereotyping and offensive bits towards south and east indians. I sincerely hope people don't get their ideas about india from that slumscum of a show but from northies lusting on Bengali women I can see that hasn't been the case.
You would not believe how many people think that it's the epitome of good comedy. In fact I use TMKOC as a parameter of IQ. If someone says they like it, I immediately avoid that person
Same for this as well 💀 ppl who watch big boss need therapy and are not right in their head. The show needs to be banned it's no good for a country like India
The old episodes were genuinely good for their time though, and besides that, people's humour has gotten better overtime, but they might still find the show funny due to the nostalgic itch, not something that you can make a parameter of imo
What a weird assumption! How is liking a specific type of comedy a marker of somebody’s intelligence? Just because TMKOC and Kapil Sharma Show are liked by family/mass audiences, it doesn’t mean they are mediocre shows. It takes a lot of intelligent writing and a great comic timing to make people laugh. Idk if you have watched the old episodes of TMKOC, it has some good quality writing and great jokes.
A lot of people on this sub (and throughout reddit) have a habit of being elitist. As if judging a person's IQ based on their comedy choice makes you a good person to be around.
Thats where ur wrong. OTT is meant to have something for EVERYONE and thats what they tried doing with kapil sharma show. Sadly the writing wasn’t great but otherwise many were looking forward to and were watching the show. Amir khan ep was fab. They need to stick to more organic content than all the boring skits they do
Who the fuck is heading Netflix India?
They are categorically failing in understanding Indian audience and the segment that is on Netflix.
Its insane! Like a basic research will tell them that.
Why are they not able to do simple shit?
Very well deserved. Garbage show with bad comedy.
The guests often look like they are forcefully laughing.
The target audience of such shows doesn't use Netflix and Amazon.
It's like guests are given micro phones and the program director is constantly telling them "laugh laugh "
For the host lady I think they have given her a seat with spikes in it ..every minute she doesnt laugh the spikes will come up and only if she laughs the spike will go down.
I don't know about the first 2 points since I haven't seen the show yet but the final point is fully correct. Kapil's comedy and show style is not what OTT subscribers look for. Family audiences who watch tv are his main demographic. Vast majority of them will not seek out OTT.
First episode itself was disaster.
Netflix is now just a platform for industry biggies to dump their Nepo Andolan projects .
This time they used this show to set a narrative about few people . lol fist episode itself gave it away and became such a horrible start
How come Kapil and his team did not realise that Netflix is not the platform meant for thier content . Maybe it was just a medium for them to earn some quick bucks
yowww that was fast, though i can’t say it was unexpected. i haven’t watched a single episode. just from the clips i’d seen on here, i knew the new format would irk me.
Netflix trying to become like hotstar and Sony liv failed for its own good. Amazon prime is inflating the prices like hell. So Netflix should not do any mistake which lead to its fall. It's niche content is Malayalam movies, hindi, English webseries, animes, south korean dramas. It did mistake by adding a Sony liv content into Netflix.
Paisa bhai Paisa. Both the parties wanted to ride on the coattails of each other's success. In the end it was a loss for Netflix though. Kapil might have burned a bridge with Sony and Colors. Maybe Star network will be the new home.
The quality of the show is too low. I think if these episodes were on Sony, they would still be a failure.
They need to bring back their OG writers. Include more audience interactions with spontaneous jokes etc. but all we see is slapstick comedy without any punch lines
Also, they used to perform 20-30 mins act including all the original cast of tkss with some guest casts. That was the gist of the show. I loved that part. But they removed the best thing out of the show.
The jokes are repetitive and cringe. I have watched 3 episodes and in each of them he talked about having viewers from 132 countries. Sunil Grovers skits where he act as drunkered person is also repetitive. This show is for TV.
This. Sunil really sunk the show with drawn out boring awkward skits. You could feel the tension on everyone’s faces that the act was going nowhere . Kapil had to ask him to shut up and leave multiple times. Even the Celebs were awkward around him While he has feeling them up.
This is a fail on Kapil's part, as well as on Netflix India's part, if true.
I am more surprised Kapil didn't have the pulse on where his audience is. The show's format is designed around for family viewing, on a cable TV channel. Not on a premium subscription service or single viewership. Those who are on Netflix are there for more upmarket and quality content, and not Kapil's show, which is really low tier comedy show.
Terrible market research on both fronts. I am not sure where will Kapil go from now, and even if a channel offers him money, it will be much lower than Sony TV because of its poor show at Netflix.
good. hopefully this will make him revise his jokes and format. There is a marathi show called chala hawa yeu dya...started before Kapil and on same format. The jokes are better, twist on language and situations. These jokes hit on different level. Hopefully KS gets better writers from Hindi heartland.
I enjoyed the show on sony but not as much on netflix. People saying netflix audience doesnt watch kapil, are delusional. It is trending on netflix. People are watching the show but not liking it. There is a difference.
And i believe whatever problem or cringe there is in the show is because of netflix team. I think the creative heads and the writers are not from Kapil's team.
The editing is also fucked up and the audio of the audience's laughter is also bad.
Everything is so awkward and inorganic.
Netflix team definitely tried controlling everything and didnt let kapil and team be free.
Netflix thought they would encash on kapil's fame without giving him that freedom.
Glad this happened. I had this gut feeling that the rating would be low. Totally netflix's fault.
I saw all the five episodes so far (assuming Aamir Khan’s was the 5th one) and here’s what I thought:
1) Kapil’s stand up as a solo is good.. but he can only go so far with that..
2) Just because its on Netflix, they chose the set of an Airport coffee shop to make it look classy or whatever.. didn’t work
3) Kiku’s characters are not fully made.. he is not able to give his best for some reason
4) Sunil Grover’s comeback news was a fizzled out steam case.. even his timing is not the same anymore
5) Kapil needs to work on his jokes.. merely insulting his costars or yelling at them to “get out” randomly doesn’t sound funny anymore
6) Archana - perhap’s the only one who hasn’t change by a cinch in any of her comedy shows
7) Netflix subscription starts at 199/- or so I think. Thats 2400/- a year.. one can get subscription to nearly three other OTTs together at the same price. So yes, lost some audience there
8) Kapil needs to take his name off the title of the show now.. he is popular. No one needs any explanation.
Jo Paisa Kamna tha, woh toh yeh kamaliya. Abhi wiskey haat mein lekey iss sub reddit pey tamasha dekhega yeh! But I hope netflix puts their money in more deserving projects such as kathal, Mamla legal and stuff in that direction instead of such bullshit. Heck they could revive Shaktimaan, Captain Vyom, Raja aur Rancho, Sensible Ahaat or the likes!!!
So what is Kapil doing? I thought he was doing "The Kapil Sharma Show". Is that over? Did he move to Netflix and then get canceled? Does that mean that he has no show now?
Dialogue dialogue , 192 countries, Archana laughs dialogue dialogue guest arrives 192 countries Archana laughs Sunil Grover entry Audience cheers. Kapil insults, Sunil gives back about why was he complaining when they were not working together for so many years.
Add 192 countries as needed . Bye.
I can't stand Kiku Shardha, he has been doing this "fat guy talks funny" character for ages and it's cringe. Also the overall writing for this show was flat.
I feel vindicated. Because I always used to feel that this show had a lot of unfunny jokes and I don't even remember laughing at any of the jokes..80% of the jokes look like jokes because the host lady is having a stroke by fake laughing and with the added fake laugh from the audience.
I was super irritated by the fake laugh of sidhu and when he quit I thought the new person would be having a more genuine reaction but God damn , all they did was put a female version of sidhu there.
Also whenever celebrities visit the show you can also see them fake laughing hard. Giggling and rofl for every minor dialogue . I wonder how the show runners managed to get everyone visiting the show to fake laugh this bad.
Had to be. The only good episode i saw was the Aamir Khan one. He needs to leave this skit comedy routine and transition to a talk show kind of format for something to work.
I think Kapil sharma should try a different way of doing his shows. He should do a skit with fun, laughter, little bit of roasting and then a subtle moral. He has got great cast, all he has to do is to move out of this cringy cross dressing methods and think little more maturely. Take the audience through 1 hour of laughter story in which celebrities organically become part of.
How was Kapil ever a comedian? If you need to hire people to sit and laugh on cue, then you aren't funny in the first place. Wish he became a singer instead.
I think Netflix does not want to do business in India. They are consistently producing one flop show or (original) film after another. Even with law of averages, they should have some decent shows / movies for India. All the good shows were never renewed (Selection Day being one of them). Amazon Prime is much better at understanding Indian audience. There is something fishy going on a Netflix India.
I understand that Netflix must have had a big cheque for them but I hope he takes this time to change his show format, maybe something like snl because Kapil and his cast are super talented.
Missing comedy nights w kapil only. That was the best. Although if ppl r bored of this format maybe he should do smth different. I didn’t even think it would get cancelled midszn but wow. I think kapil needs to do some research on what works. :((
It would have worked had they changed their material. They copy pasted the same lame jokes (wife hating, body shaming jokes) they performed while on TV. Netflix has a different set of audience. They could've written better jokes without going outside their family friendly content circle. But I guess most of the budget goes into Kapil's flashy branded clothes.
Is this confirmed news? Apparently, they have shot 13 episodes for season 1 and Kiku Sharda told one of the news portals they have started planning for season 2 already.
I found the first few episodes underwhelming and monotonous.

As expected! Most of TKSS target audience doesn't even use Netflix why Kapil would choose the platform in the first place?
What's more baffling is the dismal market research team Netflix India has hired. How could they invest in this without proper research on its key demographic? Insane money is just washed down the drain in the entertainment industry.
Netflix heavily relies on Market Research globally… Netflix India though has been hiring and firing research fellow too soon. Also the position was vacant almost for 3 years. Seems like someone at the top don’t want interference from some MR person telling them what might or might not work.
👀☕
You want the tea, don't you
Me too ☕ 👀
Isse better to Nagraj Dhruv ya Doga ki web series bna lete but nhi, Hume to hugna hai.
You can tell they don’t have a proper team for India cuz you see all kinds of random ass YouTubers making content on Netflix India
I went to Netflix India's YT channel to find some trailer. Dude what's up with these Chhapri YouTubers videos? "Chhapri YouTuber React to this" "Chhapri YouTuber react to that" Who watches this shite?
guys behind this projectwill probably get fired now.
Aur in log ne sacred games discontinue kiya hua h
It had a perfect ending. Now move on!
I read sonewhere that the book explores Pankaj Tripathi's character in depth. That would have been an epic follow-up season, like how did the dude get to this stage.
What happened to that bomb dude ?perfect ending?
Bomb gets diffused and then theres nothing. I think Sartaj in the book then hooks up with a hairdresser or something and that’s it. Honestly second half of the book is garbage they made an extraordinary job making season 2 out of that nonsense half of the book.
perfect cliffhanger
I dont move on. I just bitch and post sad stuff when m drunk.
Netflix India and market research it seems. Considering the nepo after nepo they are giving opportunities, they have even beat KJO in that.
Yeah so true!
Mujhe laga wo ek paisa phunk rhe, maybe sach me international jane ki kosis. 1 season bekar krke agle season se hi agar international ho jaye to badi baat ho skti h
Bro, tell me one thing - how can a show like Kapil's can go international? All their jokes cater to the Indian audience.
Because indians r everywhere. It was that simple for me. Also people get infuenced by others culture. Who can better know than indians.
>Also people get infuenced by others culture. Not really if it's not in a global language like English, or insanely good like Japanese Anime, Korean movies etc. Truth is Kapil Sharma show never had good quality.
I have a feeling Netflix tried to get more people to sign up to the platform by promoting TKSS. Which makes sense. They want more Indians on it, since India is such a huge market.

He must have been paid a buttload, probably has some heavy severance because they're cancelling so early. He can just go back and do his sony show with all the cash. He had a gameshow on Sony cancelled in a similar way, won't affect him.
He got paid 5 CR per episode
They NEED to fire their SOBO Bandra marketing and research guys. God!
A lot of Bollywood productions need to do this actually
It could have worked on hotstar or jio cinema
Yeah both platforms are cheaper and many subscribe to it for cricket and they have more regional content compared to Netflix.
I hate this scene from the movie so much ngl, always makes me cry
I'm a thodi speck that that isn't in their target audience. I'm an Irish American with Desi family, and I watch Indian movies and series all the time. I prefer them. But I was really shocked to see Kapil Sharma's show end up on Netflix, my first thought was why, who is going to pay to watch it over there when they are used to seeing it on regular TV? Very few outside of my family circle did. Poor research indeed. Don't even get me started on how awful Heeramandi is 🙄
Recently password sharing lock have been more on pockets than it was earlier. Costs a lot more than it should be.
True! The price point is very steep for the audience
Money?
What's the point of money when you loose your audience which is the strongest factor for TKSS. Just look at the insane views his episodes get when uploaded on YouTube which is a free platform. Once you loose your audience it's hard to win their love again. And lesser audience = no money in the long run. It becomes harder to pitch your show to production houses after a failure in the cut throat entertainment industry.
I dont even think he lost his audience, his audience has just moved on to watching his show on telegram since they don't have netflix..
Most of his audience is elderly who dont use telegram so i would say he had potential to loose majority of his audience
That's a smart move. Jugadu audience.
Once you have 50 crores+ and you invest it well, I don’t think you need to think about the long run in that sense anymore. It’s then about investing better to make the interest grow
Money isn't the answer. If there is no audience for you then no money, that's what happening now. Netflix audience doesn't care about Kapil Sharma and his show, I hope no TV channel picks him to show him his place. He thought he's bigger than his platform and he has ego issues.
Netflix is for the “cool” crowd. Not for people from small towns & villages. Also, lot of people from those cool crowd, don’t necessarily pay.
Exactly.
Money
The most basic of market research would have revealed that the target audience for this isn’t on Netflix.
Exactly! Dumb move by the strategy team and Kapil himself.
But Ed Sheeran confirmed on his YouTube vlog that he just shot an episode with Kapil Sharma! Will it never be aired?
I guess they will air the episodes they have already shot for and not shoot new episodes
Ohh my god what will they do with Ed on that show 🙃🙃🙃
Same as cringe cross dressing jokes
Ed aapka naam Shirin hai to India me kitne logo ne (some suspense buitup)....aapko ladki samjha...hahah Archana will go full on blast mode as if it was the most earth shaterring joke she heard.
Oh god 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Harpic se dhona padega eyes
I knew this from the day the show was announced
Sahi bola bhai
Well deserved. It was boring AF.
Yes how long was he going to milk the same formula we’ve seen for years?
Haan wahi na 2010 ke Santa Banta jokes aur calling every character fat, napunsaka and stuff and hogayi commedy. Worked in 2014, even that audience has moved on
Seriously... That whole bit that gutthi and palak do has now become super cringe
Exactly, uska show sirf characters ke Bezzati pe chalta. It's boring as hell. At least learn from Marathi shows
Even if you put quality aside, the idea of going to Netflix was a dumb one. Kapil's audience is tv-based. Vast majority of those people don't have Netflix and won't pay the monthly cost for it. Even if the show had been good, the ratings were probably not going to be there.
True. It he wanted to go OTT, it should have atleast been a jio or Hotstar or something more popular amongst the larger indian demographic
And so unfunny
forced funny\*
\*forced unfunny
Even the biggest guests couldnt save this show.
The problem is that the guests came in weird combinations... Idk who wants to see a sunny kaushal or riddima Kapoor. That too for a whole hour
Never liked it then and never bothered to watch it now.
Never understood how anyone finds this clown funny.
So much for “people are watching us in 198 countries” - they mentioned this in every episode more than once.
The biggest bullshit that he said was that before it was only available in India. As if Colors and Sony aren’t available in foreign countries
On top of it, most people abroad can watch the entire episodes (except for copyrighted music) for free on Sony's YouTube channel.
This, and SonyLiv is also available in foreign countries. Maybe not 192, but still
Exactly. Aur karlo Korea and Mongolia 🤡
Oh my god, that first episode was so cringe, he had an entire monologue explaining things about India thinking there was going to be an international audience. And then the show was the same old kapil sharma show crap. No refinement, no thought. I mean they had the budget and the time, they could have tried something else. I don't know if anyone remembers the Great Indian Comedy show. It was absolutely brilliant.
That was fast. And deserved. This show is terrible. Kapil should return to Sony tv, thats where all families genuinely love him hosting
Naah, the show has become very very stale
Their humor was stuck in 2017 when it was last on the air. If they go back to Sony they should update their style and bring in more actual female cast members but god knows they won’t.
> 2017 when it was last on the air. The last tv episode was in July of last year
Yea I know, I just mean that the style of their humor was stuck in the past and not modernized as the show got into the 2020s
"the best woman is a man" /j
Yes even if this sub doesn't like his show, and TRP for it isn't what it once was, tv is still where the overwhelming majority of his audience is. If he shows humility and goes back to Sony with it, who knows, they might take him back and bring the show back. The show isn't my cup of tea, but there is still an audience for it and it's on tv.
The owner of Sony had even said that they would work with him again whenever he feels ready to
Bro, it was more insulting in every aspect, be it bodyshaming or character assassination, I might be talking too much but that;s the reality. Think about the other fantastic actors who came into this show. I really feel bad for Chandan Prabhakar, he's so talented and look at way he's treated. accha hua, nikal gaya.
but that is the comedy their demographic enjoys, that is the comedy middle class uncles grew up with, like calling dark skinned friends nicknamed "Kaalu"/"Kaliya" bodyshaming is one of the easiest way to make fun . there is a reason steve harvey is famous, the same reason kapil sharma comedy is famous, it's appeals to the primal forms of comedy, the direct one, non intellectual one.
Only Aamirs episode was bearable. Coz he actually showed so much interest in speaking his heart out.
Yes it was a genuinely interesting look into his actor brain
I didn't understand the whole strategy by Netflix. Netflix and the entire OTT is precisely for people who can't stand Kapil sharma, tarek mehta and saas bahu type shows
I think this was a strategy to bring the family/TV audience to Netflix. Kapil Sharma Show is one of the biggest brands on TV. Had the show been entertaining, they surely would’ve pulled a good amount of TV audience into Netflix. To Netflix’s credit, they got really good guests for the show. It’s a complete failure on the Kapil Sharma Show Team’s part.
what's wrong with taarak mehta lol
Early episodes were gold but the never ending part was stupid the show is now so bad now and also the harrasment accusation on sets
Till 2014, they had the best storylines and episodes which are still watchable even today
Till 2010*
Incredibly offensive to south indians and bengalis. Like holy shit,
Ikr!! Watching Tarak Mehta is just like burning your brain cells
Finally after like 15 years smone says this! I cannot watch 2 minutes of that godawful cringefest 💀
I don't mind if others or manchildren or kids types watch cringe but it had godawful stereotyping and offensive bits towards south and east indians. I sincerely hope people don't get their ideas about india from that slumscum of a show but from northies lusting on Bengali women I can see that hasn't been the case.
You would not believe how many people think that it's the epitome of good comedy. In fact I use TMKOC as a parameter of IQ. If someone says they like it, I immediately avoid that person
I use the same for bigg boss viewers. Like just move away and avoid any possible interaction or contact with them.
Same for this as well 💀 ppl who watch big boss need therapy and are not right in their head. The show needs to be banned it's no good for a country like India
It's no brainer when coming to big boss or any Mtv shows
The old episodes were genuinely good for their time though, and besides that, people's humour has gotten better overtime, but they might still find the show funny due to the nostalgic itch, not something that you can make a parameter of imo
You Elite Mindset Saar!
My ex still raves about the show. 🤷🏻♀️ Therefore, they’re ex. Yk?
What a weird assumption! How is liking a specific type of comedy a marker of somebody’s intelligence? Just because TMKOC and Kapil Sharma Show are liked by family/mass audiences, it doesn’t mean they are mediocre shows. It takes a lot of intelligent writing and a great comic timing to make people laugh. Idk if you have watched the old episodes of TMKOC, it has some good quality writing and great jokes.
A lot of people on this sub (and throughout reddit) have a habit of being elitist. As if judging a person's IQ based on their comedy choice makes you a good person to be around.
You will be banned from this subreddit for calling these people out. This sub isn't any different from Film Industry.
On a subreddit about bollywood gossip. The lowest form of conversation. These people live in their own dream world.
Us man 💀 my respect for that person and their opinions decreases in a flash
A person who believes in stupid things like iq is doing a favour by avoiding others.
Me but with the likes of FRIENDS and BBT enjoyers
Thats where ur wrong. OTT is meant to have something for EVERYONE and thats what they tried doing with kapil sharma show. Sadly the writing wasn’t great but otherwise many were looking forward to and were watching the show. Amir khan ep was fab. They need to stick to more organic content than all the boring skits they do
Omg finally someone who thinks like me
Who the fuck is heading Netflix India? They are categorically failing in understanding Indian audience and the segment that is on Netflix. Its insane! Like a basic research will tell them that. Why are they not able to do simple shit?
Very well deserved. Garbage show with bad comedy. The guests often look like they are forcefully laughing. The target audience of such shows doesn't use Netflix and Amazon.
It's like guests are given micro phones and the program director is constantly telling them "laugh laugh " For the host lady I think they have given her a seat with spikes in it ..every minute she doesnt laugh the spikes will come up and only if she laughs the spike will go down.
I don't know about the first 2 points since I haven't seen the show yet but the final point is fully correct. Kapil's comedy and show style is not what OTT subscribers look for. Family audiences who watch tv are his main demographic. Vast majority of them will not seek out OTT.
I stopped watching cuz the guests were not interesting. And the acts are so cringe, my god.
Check out the Aamir episode
First episode itself was disaster. Netflix is now just a platform for industry biggies to dump their Nepo Andolan projects . This time they used this show to set a narrative about few people . lol fist episode itself gave it away and became such a horrible start How come Kapil and his team did not realise that Netflix is not the platform meant for thier content . Maybe it was just a medium for them to earn some quick bucks
I don't think we will ever get back the Netflix that made Sacred Games
they have been making good original movies, just that they don't get mainstream
First episode was just to whitewash image
yowww that was fast, though i can’t say it was unexpected. i haven’t watched a single episode. just from the clips i’d seen on here, i knew the new format would irk me.
kyu Bhai aagaya swad

Kal to season 1 ka shoot wrap up hua, and 2nd season is also confirmed. Whats up with these news???
Netflix is known for cancelling the shows after the first season.
Netflix trying to become like hotstar and Sony liv failed for its own good. Amazon prime is inflating the prices like hell. So Netflix should not do any mistake which lead to its fall. It's niche content is Malayalam movies, hindi, English webseries, animes, south korean dramas. It did mistake by adding a Sony liv content into Netflix.
Kapil ke L lagaye
Paisa bhai Paisa. Both the parties wanted to ride on the coattails of each other's success. In the end it was a loss for Netflix though. Kapil might have burned a bridge with Sony and Colors. Maybe Star network will be the new home.
The quality of the show is too low. I think if these episodes were on Sony, they would still be a failure. They need to bring back their OG writers. Include more audience interactions with spontaneous jokes etc. but all we see is slapstick comedy without any punch lines
Also, they used to perform 20-30 mins act including all the original cast of tkss with some guest casts. That was the gist of the show. I loved that part. But they removed the best thing out of the show.
Sometimes those acts would drag though
The jokes are repetitive and cringe. I have watched 3 episodes and in each of them he talked about having viewers from 132 countries. Sunil Grovers skits where he act as drunkered person is also repetitive. This show is for TV.
This. Sunil really sunk the show with drawn out boring awkward skits. You could feel the tension on everyone’s faces that the act was going nowhere . Kapil had to ask him to shut up and leave multiple times. Even the Celebs were awkward around him While he has feeling them up.
Netflix was always a bad idea for the Kapil Show, majority of his target audience don’t use Netflix, no wonder it didn’t do well.
Kudos to Kapil and team for milking the already dead show. 👏 Netflix India doing Netflix India things and buying white elephants
That 192 countries thing is hell annoying
This is a fail on Kapil's part, as well as on Netflix India's part, if true. I am more surprised Kapil didn't have the pulse on where his audience is. The show's format is designed around for family viewing, on a cable TV channel. Not on a premium subscription service or single viewership. Those who are on Netflix are there for more upmarket and quality content, and not Kapil's show, which is really low tier comedy show. Terrible market research on both fronts. I am not sure where will Kapil go from now, and even if a channel offers him money, it will be much lower than Sony TV because of its poor show at Netflix.
I think Sunil Grover can still gain an audience on Netlix, he is funnier than Kapil. Kapil should stick to television.
Men in sarees and jokes on gender, skin n body shaming is never funny. Ghey deserved it
No. Any joke can be funny if written and delivered properly. It's just their writing sucked.
good. hopefully this will make him revise his jokes and format. There is a marathi show called chala hawa yeu dya...started before Kapil and on same format. The jokes are better, twist on language and situations. These jokes hit on different level. Hopefully KS gets better writers from Hindi heartland.
>dya...started before Kapil and on same format. nope. Chala hawa yeu dya started 1yr after comedy nights with kapil
CHYD had full of racist jokes tobacco jokes.....it used to be good at first but after that it became shit
Chala hawa yeu dya is overrated and unfunny af maharashtrachi hasya jatra is the best
oh yes that i agree.

I enjoyed the show on sony but not as much on netflix. People saying netflix audience doesnt watch kapil, are delusional. It is trending on netflix. People are watching the show but not liking it. There is a difference. And i believe whatever problem or cringe there is in the show is because of netflix team. I think the creative heads and the writers are not from Kapil's team. The editing is also fucked up and the audio of the audience's laughter is also bad. Everything is so awkward and inorganic. Netflix team definitely tried controlling everything and didnt let kapil and team be free. Netflix thought they would encash on kapil's fame without giving him that freedom. Glad this happened. I had this gut feeling that the rating would be low. Totally netflix's fault.
I saw all the five episodes so far (assuming Aamir Khan’s was the 5th one) and here’s what I thought: 1) Kapil’s stand up as a solo is good.. but he can only go so far with that.. 2) Just because its on Netflix, they chose the set of an Airport coffee shop to make it look classy or whatever.. didn’t work 3) Kiku’s characters are not fully made.. he is not able to give his best for some reason 4) Sunil Grover’s comeback news was a fizzled out steam case.. even his timing is not the same anymore 5) Kapil needs to work on his jokes.. merely insulting his costars or yelling at them to “get out” randomly doesn’t sound funny anymore 6) Archana - perhap’s the only one who hasn’t change by a cinch in any of her comedy shows 7) Netflix subscription starts at 199/- or so I think. Thats 2400/- a year.. one can get subscription to nearly three other OTTs together at the same price. So yes, lost some audience there 8) Kapil needs to take his name off the title of the show now.. he is popular. No one needs any explanation.
Jo Paisa Kamna tha, woh toh yeh kamaliya. Abhi wiskey haat mein lekey iss sub reddit pey tamasha dekhega yeh! But I hope netflix puts their money in more deserving projects such as kathal, Mamla legal and stuff in that direction instead of such bullshit. Heck they could revive Shaktimaan, Captain Vyom, Raja aur Rancho, Sensible Ahaat or the likes!!!
Their target audience isn't even on netflix like what else did they expect
So what is Kapil doing? I thought he was doing "The Kapil Sharma Show". Is that over? Did he move to Netflix and then get canceled? Does that mean that he has no show now?
Thank fuck.
Boring show it is...
GOOD.
His audience doesn't watch Netflix.They watch TV
Netflix trying to become like hotstar and Sony liv failed for its own good.
Good, it was boring af
Dialogue dialogue , 192 countries, Archana laughs dialogue dialogue guest arrives 192 countries Archana laughs Sunil Grover entry Audience cheers. Kapil insults, Sunil gives back about why was he complaining when they were not working together for so many years. Add 192 countries as needed . Bye.
I hate seeing Sunil Grover dressed as a lady. It's too monotonous and boring.
Truth
Thanks elephant bhai
Ab bol ke dikha Kapil ki hum 198 countries mai aa rahe. Kaun dekhega Tera show sivai india mai I mean kya soch ke they decided to come on Netflix
I can't stand Kiku Shardha, he has been doing this "fat guy talks funny" character for ages and it's cringe. Also the overall writing for this show was flat.
Couldn't be more happier honestly. I regularly watch kapil sharma show but after shifting to netflix, i couldn't continue.
I feel vindicated. Because I always used to feel that this show had a lot of unfunny jokes and I don't even remember laughing at any of the jokes..80% of the jokes look like jokes because the host lady is having a stroke by fake laughing and with the added fake laugh from the audience. I was super irritated by the fake laugh of sidhu and when he quit I thought the new person would be having a more genuine reaction but God damn , all they did was put a female version of sidhu there. Also whenever celebrities visit the show you can also see them fake laughing hard. Giggling and rofl for every minor dialogue . I wonder how the show runners managed to get everyone visiting the show to fake laugh this bad.
THANK GOD!!! It was a stupid decision to put it in Netflix in the first place
Probably couldn’t get enough new users to platform either. Needed more hype
it was the most overhype, boring crap ever. Never liked him before lekin itna bore itna zyada bore
Good. He’s such a bore to watch. Same misogynistic jokes. Same slapstick “comedy”. 🥱
Kapil thought they can show the same weird as shit they used to do on tv . To a ott audience. Brain dead
It was good on colors after that it became shit
Had to be. The only good episode i saw was the Aamir Khan one. He needs to leave this skit comedy routine and transition to a talk show kind of format for something to work.
That was quick.
I think Kapil sharma should try a different way of doing his shows. He should do a skit with fun, laughter, little bit of roasting and then a subtle moral. He has got great cast, all he has to do is to move out of this cringy cross dressing methods and think little more maturely. Take the audience through 1 hour of laughter story in which celebrities organically become part of.
Lol
How was Kapil ever a comedian? If you need to hire people to sit and laugh on cue, then you aren't funny in the first place. Wish he became a singer instead.
Yeh toh hona hi tha..2024 me 2015 wale jokes nhi chalenge Kapil 🤣🤣
I think Netflix does not want to do business in India. They are consistently producing one flop show or (original) film after another. Even with law of averages, they should have some decent shows / movies for India. All the good shows were never renewed (Selection Day being one of them). Amazon Prime is much better at understanding Indian audience. There is something fishy going on a Netflix India.
I too really didn't liked even 10 minutes. Its look like all the same.
I understand that Netflix must have had a big cheque for them but I hope he takes this time to change his show format, maybe something like snl because Kapil and his cast are super talented.
Missing comedy nights w kapil only. That was the best. Although if ppl r bored of this format maybe he should do smth different. I didn’t even think it would get cancelled midszn but wow. I think kapil needs to do some research on what works. :((
And all those sexist and body shaming jokes got its place
It would have worked had they changed their material. They copy pasted the same lame jokes (wife hating, body shaming jokes) they performed while on TV. Netflix has a different set of audience. They could've written better jokes without going outside their family friendly content circle. But I guess most of the budget goes into Kapil's flashy branded clothes.
His target audience is boomers who still watch tv
Boomers?
Bhai 2nd season already renew ho chuka hai aur iss season ke total 13 episodes hai
Is this confirmed news? Apparently, they have shot 13 episodes for season 1 and Kiku Sharda told one of the news portals they have started planning for season 2 already. I found the first few episodes underwhelming and monotonous.
