Judging by the audience reaction, the joke landed pretty well. He hits a few high notes during the bit, but one joke that stood out particularly was about how the film repurposed the melody of In Panchiyo as the homing signal for the alien Jaadu, an act of sheer laziness that makes him exclaim “ ek aur tune to bana le aalasi, there are people doing unpaid internships.” It’s funny, but it also contrasts the struggles of those at the bottom of the industry food chain against the liberties taken by those at the top. Karunesh Talwar is in epic form here as he takes aim at the absurdities and low-budget sci-fi of Koi Mil Gaya, the first film in the Krrish trilogy.
And there is true value in parting the curtains of nostalgia, and peering at an old classic in new light. It can be hilarious to watch a comic tear apart your favourite childhood movie one joke at a time, but it also makes you think about how and why you were so attached to these movies in the first place.

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, now you have to compete with comedians?!īut putting professional grudges aside, the recent trend of comics LARPing as critics is not just great entertainment, it’s also a new avenue for different, often unique, perspectives on long-cherished film classics. Once you put it out, you have to deal with angry creators who send mobs of online fans after you, with armchair know-it-alls who pore over your work like it’s a board exam mark sheet, and then, if you’re lucky, you get paid enough money to have three meals a day for a couple of weeks. You have to form a solidly reasoned opinion on a piece of work in a very short span of time, sometimes just a few hours.
