Hasmukh Trailer: Vir Das Is a Killer Standup Comic, Literally, in This Dark Comedy (Watch Video)

The streaming platforms in India have found a goldmine of talent in Indian standup comics. Many of them have standup specials and many have created fictional shows as well. Sumukhi Suresh's Pushpavalli is a bomb of a show. Biswa Kalyan Rath's Laakhon Me Ek is also pretty cool. Now, after three standup specials for Netflix, Vir Das has co-created, with Nikhil Advani, a show for the streamer, titled Hasmukh. The first trailer of the upcoming show dropped on YouTube today and it is about a standup comic with killer comedy sets. Literally. Coffee and Kareem Movie Review: Ed Helms, Tara P Henson’s Netflix Comedy Film Is Teeming With Racially and Sexually Inappropriate Jokes.

Within the first few moments of the trailer, we get a whiff that this is not your run-of-the-mill comedy show. At its centre is a serial killer, who has to commit a murder in order to pump himself enough to be able to deliver a comedy act on stage. The first footage has a few comical moments which are oddly awkward and dark. It has a non-urban setting, which in today's content consumption pattern makes it edgy. Money Heist 4 Just Dropped on Netflix and Internet Is Going Crazy!
