The Kapil Sharma Show had been Sony TV's
golden goose for garnering TRPs and its massive fan-following is still
around. In spite of the rumours and feuds, the show's popularity has
remained intact. And now the comedy king is making his return with a new
game show on Sony TV and the first teaser for the same is out.
Here's what we thought of it-
The Promo
The promo begins with a fun, relatable squabble with a rickshaw wala as Kapil Sharma
tries to convince him to take him to his destination. On being
dismissed (like every other mumbaikar) by the driver, Kapil claims to
get a call from Sony TV
and tells the driver he will regret not driving him. He coolly whistles
for a bus and hops on it saying "Mai jaa nahi raha, laut kar aa raha
hu" with the driver following, realising his blunder.
During the span of 35 seconds Kapil Sharma does his signature comic gestures and declares his return.
The Good
The
teaser is symbolic of him being dismissed as a run-over star and an
announcement of his return to the top. We love how smartly the teaser is
written and placed. Kapil Sharma has gone back staging his teaser
around a rickshaw (in one of the promos for The Kapil Sharma Show had
him and his co-stars including Sunil Grover, Alis Asgar and Kiku Sharda
boarding a rickshaw), but this time, by himself and he manages pretty
well. His sassy comments and resolve to strike back come across clearly
and the promo fulfils its purpose.
The Bad
The
teaser gives us no further information of how the comedy star plans on
rising to the top yet again. At the same time, it may come back to bite
him in case the show doesn't make its mark.
The Verdict
We
love how light and relatable the promo is, it has no indication of
which direction the show is headed in, but it's definitely towards the
top. As a promo, this one succeeds in its open-ended interaction with a
viewer. If the show keeps up this tone, it might just qualify as an
evolved comedy.
Rating- ****/5 (4/5)
