Hi Friends,
Standup comedy is growing big in India and other countries too and Amazon Prime brought all the Youtube, Instagram and TikTok Stars together on one platform where they fight to not do what they do best - Laugh. They should not laugh while the other performers try to make them laugh. If you laugh, you get a yellow card and if you laugh again then you get immediate elimination. The concept is very similar to the Big Boss but it's just that you can't laugh for the 6 hours. The last person standing wins a whopping Rs 25 Lakhs in cash along with a condition that you can't be passive and have to be engaging everyone and try to make at least one person laugh using all the props available in the house. There will be regular breaks and also Showtime where everyone will watch your performance. So overall that's all about the concept of the show and now coming to the execution part of the show.
LOL Hasse Toh Phasse is released by Amazon Prime Video on their platform and the show is divided into 6 parts of 30 minutes each. The artists chosen are Sunil Grover, Aadar Malik, Ankita Shrivastav, Aditi Mittal, Mallika Dua, Kusha Kapila, Gaurav Gera, Cyrus Broacha, Aakash Gupta and Suresh Menon. The show is hosted by Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi who are in their own zone and didn't have much to do other than showing the Red and Yellow cards. Even a normal voiceover would have done in the show just like Big Boss. Long shots are taken where they walk from their room to the main set just to show the cards in style. That's it and the talks between them don't bring any laughter whatsoever. The commentary of the performers also just tells their end of how they tried hard to not laugh but no planning or strategy to improve their performance.
Coming to the overall performance by all the performers, the thing is too boring to watch as there are a lot of things happening as everyone tries to eliminate others and there is chaos all around. Leaving some of the performers there is nothing anyone does which brings laughter to any viewer. It's a big headache to watch the show for the whole 3 hours where the show is merged for viewers to watch on Amazon Prime Video. As the elimination starts to happen, then only you start to get entertained as the chaos decreases and the camera focuses on the fewer contestants. Some people really live up to expectations and stay straight-faced till the end of 6 hours and the showtime performances of many are really hilarious. It would be better if you watch their individual videos on Youtube or any other platform rather than going through this comical nonsense.
In the end, the deserving one wins which will be made clear in your mind, if you watch all the 6 episodes from start to end. There are some comical moments where some of the artists really make you laugh especially Suresh Menon, Mallika Dua, Kusha Kapila and Gaurav Gera. There is no Guthi like performance from Sunil Grover and I think he has been taken just to bring some kind of star power. You can watch this one if you have nothing else to do and can spend 3 hours of your precious time on these artists or if you are a fan of any one of these artists. RATING 2/5
Cheers!!!
