Kaante ki takkar
Comedy circus on Sony is really among the great shows on TV worth watching today. The level of creativity is just too good and matches the first season of the Great Indian Comedy Show, and perhaps even exceeds it in some ways.
Shakeel is very irritating, but I like his spontaneity. But all his dialogues are lifted from various Pakistani plays in which he used to act some minorly major roles (don’t ask what this means). The most famous is the role of “tili” in Bakra Qiston Pay – Parts 2 & 3. Umar Sharif use to abuse him the same way he abuses others.
Ali and Kashif are out of this world and utterly amazing. But my favorites are sure to be Krishna and Sudesh. The singer-actor act is by far the best, something which was unimaginable for me. Swapnil and VIP are the other great pair and come up with extraordinary performances from time to time.
However, they got eliminated last week. And a new pair from the second season is going to enter Kaante ki takkar. Now, this is the thing that I don’t like about shows these days – wild card entries! Really unjust to the people who are there since the beginning. The second season was won by Juhi and VIP through a wild card when the entered mid-way. And, guess who is the new pair this time around! Juhi-VIP, any takers?
