Kapil then welcomed Raju Srivastav, and presented the entire platform to him, a rare thing done by Kapil for sure. He left the stage for Raju and seated himself besides Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Raju Srivastav, on his part, reminded us of his old evergreen jokes, but only this time, it all sounded dry and dead. He cracked jokes like, “Kapil is so sanskari that even when he is inside the bathroom he changes his underwear by putting on a towel.”

Kapil then called in Sunil Pal who began the comic act with his signature drunkard character of Ratan Noora. Yes, he was funny, but only to some bits.

Ahsaan Qureshi in his signature poetic style tried to hold on the show. By then it had already turned so tedious, that even if he had cracked something witty it would have gone unnoticed.

In the next half, Kiku Sharda arrived on a bicycle and the little moment he had on stage, he remained the only person who laughed at his own jokes.

Soon arrived Rochelle Rao who (understandably) was tired of the men claiming to be in love with her. One thing turned to another and Raju Srivastav did a Shah Rukh Khan act of Raj Malhotra from DDLJ. Let’s just say if the superstar is actually watching this show, he would hang his head in shame for failing to create any romantic impact in the comedians of the country despite being the king of romance.

Sunil Grover need to come back, if The Kapil Sharma Show sees any future.
