Vir Das: For India

For an Indian who's away from home, this would be a completely relatable act - full of historical incidents and dark humour as well. The best part is the way Vir has connected the dots from the very beginning till the very last moment.

Cheers to Old monk and Parle-G :)

Fantastic standup set from Vir Das. Some jokes genuinely made me burst out in laughter. But a lot of references and jokes will proably be hard to follow for people who are not from the Indian subcontinent. Would still 100% recommend to anyone who is a fan of good comedy. One of the best standup specials I have seen in recent years.

This special had me laughing and learning about India's history, customs and people throughout the whole time. It was a great and unique experience. I didn't expect it to be this good. Writing and delivery were on point.

Got to know in the first couple of minutes that this is intended largely at the 'Non-Indian' audience, introducing them to the great Indian history through satire. Was a bit uncomfortable watching this from a Non-Indian's point of view in the first half as there were so many anecdotes which they absolutely couldn't have understood. But it just got way better because of the fine writing. Was almost in splits by the end of it. Worth a watch, of course.

I never write reviews but all the stupid hate ratings made me wanna do this. Vir is a benchmark for indian standup comedians. He is one of those rare comics who is intellectually as well as emotionally stimulating, though he dealt with tender issues, his heart was at the right place. He can be offensive at times, to that i say that no good humor came from being polite!! A must watch if you enjoy quality comedy.
