Some co-actors are extremely dull on talk shows, even if they show a certain spark in their cinema together. This was the case with Janhvi Kapoor and Siddharth Malhotra, fairly crackling together in Param Sundari, super-dull on Kapil’s show, and so what if Manjot Singh and Sanjay Kapoor tried to liven up the proceedings?
At one point in the hour-long ennui excursion, Janhvi Kapoor complained about the set being way too cold. Malhotra quickly took off his jacket and draped his co-star with it.
But the chill persisted. Janhavi tried to liven up the dull proceedings by telling flatulence jokes about her friends. Seriously, is anyone interested in this? She also mimicked her father, Boney Kapoor, which, if we had not been pre-informed, would never have registered as mimicry.
This has got to be one of the dullest episodes in the history of Kapil Sharma’s comedy shows. The writing was flat, and the cast looked uncomfortable, while Kapil, Archana Puran Singh, and Navjot Singh Sidhu tried to conceal the blandness in loud laughter.
The worst blow was Sunil Grover, so brilliantly pitch-perfect replicating Gulzar Saab two weeks ago, here on Kapil’s show as the self-proclaimed Gen—Z girl Bansuri, Grover was so terribly mis-timed, one could see the guests trying not to yawn…so full marks to these actors for acting interested in the inert antics on one of Kapil’s worst episodes.
Kapil is no doubt a brilliant raconteur and repartee expert. But he must get better writing and more entertaining guests. And yes, Sunil Grover’s drag act has become a drag.
By the way, the most offensive line of face-shaming in recent times: Kapil approving of Sanjay Kapoor being cast as Siddharth Malhotra’s father in Param Sundari. “If it were Sanjay Mishra, then one would think the hero has perhaps taken after his mother.”
