Biswa Kalyan Rath: Mood Kharaab (2023 TV Special) User Reviews

As raw and carefree as Biswa can be. Do watch!

[iitkgpsahu · 8/10 · 7 May 2023]

I had really missed seeing this curious Biswa, getting laughs out of minute and random things in life, yet again. In this special, he is in his purest form on stage and enjoying as much as the audience.

"Mood Kharaab" hops through random daily life observational bits, Mast Aadmi like stories from his childhood to how meta-verse and crypto bothers him, with some tags that did go unnoticed by audience.

Biswa operates in a such a wide spectrum that it may confuse you at the start but things would start making sense in the end, with an unpredictable escalation that you may really enjoy. Be prepared to hear Biswa's alap and if you are a beat producer, some good samples for you.

I feel I can get the above text paraphrased via ChatGPT but then I want to be raw too.

BEST STANDUP IN A LONG TIME

[darshilshah-63148 · 10/10 · 20 May 2023]

Whenever Kanan Gill and Biswa get together, it's a cracker.

There is a strong likelihood that 80% of Indian kids will be able to relate to these childhood jokes as they are bang on target.

It's been a while since I laughed so hard.

By doing only top notch Amazon specials, Biswa is a rare gem of Indian stand-up. It's great to see you back again, Biswa.

All the jokes were just seriously comedy and one must watch it surely as he is genuine and it shows in his actions and the way he speaks. Today's new comedians are just doing it for money and it shows as all they talk about is vulgar topics ...

Brilliant observational standup

[yashkokane · 10/10 · 27 May 2023]

Biswa is at his most animated in this standup, and there was barely a minute without laughs. The comedy was brilliant, with hilarious musings on crypto, amazon and parenthood.

Definitely worth a watch.

This was my first review on IMDB, seldom does a show come up that makes me want to recommend it like I'd recommend Mood Kharab.

Mind you, there's some crude humor, but still beyond the mild profanity there's nothing that doesn't make it family friendly. The "unfairy tales" were somewhat political, but fun nonetheless.

What Biswa did different this time was the excessive, over-the-top animated gestures in classic Biswa style, while still remaining very relatable to most of the Indian Middle class.

Dark humour about relatable events in life

[raghavagrawal-09357 · 9/10 · 9 May 2023]

I have enjoyed biswa's comedy skits but not to an extent where I can say that it blew my mind. But this show was a really great show and had so many moments about real life relatable incidents which made me laugh and think at the time.

Must watch for anyone who enjoys dark and sarcastic humour. This show is a sarcasm on our modern day life which revolves around technology and how it has changed us completely as compared to previous generation.

After watching this show, you will definitely take one or two lessons around your own life events. Overall a great one time watch show, much better than Biswa's earlier shows. Keep it up Biswa and team.

Stale, not fresh

[scraby-mani · 4/10 · 11 May 2023]

Kharaab is a stand-up comedy special that is not worth watching. Biswa talks about various topics such as his childhood, education, masculinity, and politics. He makes fun of himself and the society in a witty and sarcastic way. He also uses some visual aids and props to enhance his jokes. The show is entertaining and engaging, and will make you laugh out loud. However, some of his jokes are not very original or creative. He also tends to repeat some of his punchlines and drag some of his stories. The show could have been shorter and tighter. Overall, I enjoyed the show and I would recommend it to anyone who likes comedy and satire.

Humor and Satire at its best

[pareek-60027 · 10/10 · 17 May 2023]

Every piece of this standup is mind blowing and has interesting messages intertwined within the comical satire. Biswa's comic timing is fantastic and the show ends with lots of surprise messages in the form of comedy. I can't believe that some people have rated low which is totally unfair. Biswa's piece of satire and comedy is truly one of his best work.

Some components of the script were so good that no other comic in India has ever tried on stage. Every aspect of this piece is interesting and all stories and experiences are well connected and thought through.

Cricket bat story is a journey most people will relate to.

Creatively & comically best from Biswa !!

Not interesting at all

[nishitd · 1/10 · 7 May 2023]

Biswa has not been doing comedy for a long time and it clearly shows in this standup special. The jokes are out of date and simply don't land.

Biswa used to do average comedy, but at least once in a while you'd find funny jokes, but this standup was painful to sit through. Even at the length of mere 52 minutes, I found myself looking at the watch again and again and hoping for some jokes that can make me laugh, but I didn't even chuckle for the episode, let alone laugh.

It's time for Amazon Prime to reevaluate on how they choose comics to do a special. The new age comedians like Bassi are doing great job, while Biswa feels like a relic of bygone era.
