The other Kapil show is a talk and talent show which currently focuses on bringing web series to the notice of wider audience base. The pattern of the show includes Kapil Varshne as the host of this show and an interesting guest which is actually an original character created exclusively for this show. Together they create a story where the glimpses of the web series being promoted are shown. Some times some sort of review is also included but normally the show leaves it up to the audience to decide for themselves if they want to watch it or not.
The show is more than normal talk shows where only the ability to talk is needed, here the makers have to create to new characters for each episode and till now, no character has been recalled on it. This brings the novelty and excitement to the proceedings as the audience are not sure what to expect in the new episode. One of the characters which was introduced in the first episode Azgar Baba was well liked by the audience and in turn ended up with a mini web series of its own where he comically solved the problems of audience. Do check it out here on YouTube.
This is exciting for the viewers but involves hard work on the part of the show creators as the have to continuously work for finding out new characters and the actors to play the role. There are a few characters which are ready in script but due to the requirement of the specific looks and the special effects they are yet to be introduced to the wider audience.
The best part of this show for creators is that they are testing water with different themes and if some character or guest is well received by the audience then it can get its own show or could be used in upcoming web series.
Or at least would look good on T-shirt of #AllAboutWebSeries :-)
This show is conceptualized, directed and shot by Sumeet Kumar while Kapil takes care of editing and hosting.
Till now the following episodes have been gone on air:
- Azgar Baba reviewing Bang Baajaa Baraat
- Sit Bull the rapper reviewing Permanent Roommates Season 1.
- Mainawati the lady from village reviewing, I don't watch TV.
- Mr. Sarkate talking about the inspiration which he got from TVF Pitchers.
- Pakistani cricketer Imaran Ul haq discussing Voot's Chinese Bhasad.
More episodes are on the way to bring web series closer to the audience and the upcoming episodes are about web series from hollywood and this time strictly there is no review. The unfolding story on the show would be totally independent from the web series being explored.
