The Great Indian Kapil Show Episode 7 Review
If you’ve watched Heeramandi or are about to watch or decided to not watch, then the 7th episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show will enhance your thoughts, change them and even better them up. Featuring Netflix’s trending drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar‘s Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Richa Chadha, the 7th episode promises us with lots of their real experiences on set and how they immersed themselves into the 1940s era.
The show kicked off with some light-hearted banter as Kapil Sharma and the Heeramandi stars indulged in some pani puri before the taping. Amusingly, Sharma playfully refused to serve anyone who addressed him as “bhaiya,” meaning elder brother in Hindi. Sonakshi Sinha said the word and was the first one to get her share of an empty plate. The rest of the cast quickly caught on and showered Sharma with praise to secure their snacks, eventually tearing themselves away from the stall for the main chat.
While Heeramandi remained the focal point, the conversation also touched on writer-director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, although he was absent from the show. Impressively, Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda transformed into characters from Bhansali’s classic Devdas (2002), entertaining the Heeramandi stars. Sinha, who portrays Fareedan on the show, even attempted to teach Chandramukhi character some adah.
The discussion shifted to the series itself, with each leading lady praising Bhansali’s perfectionism. Richa Chadha shared her experience of enduring 99 takes for a song sequence, labelling it her best and worst day on set. Sonakshi Sinha revealed that all her rehearsals for a song were scrapped, and the choreography was redone for a single take, making history in just four minutes.
Sharmin Segal, Bhansali’s niece, disclosed undergoing numerous auditions for the role of Alamzeb, while Manisha Koirala was teased by Kapil Sharma for being Bhansali’s good luck charm, having previously worked with him on Khamoshi. Despite Kapil Sharma’s attempts to uncover on-set disagreements, the women emphasized that the script of Heeramandi offered more drama than their real-life interactions.
With six guests, attention was divided, but Kapil managed to balance the questions and ensure all the ladies got to share their experiences and talk more. To me, this episode is by far the best one in the show as it had trending guests who had lots to offer and also be entertained. Next week, we’re going to see Ed Sheeran performing in the show and I think that’s going to be a huge turning point for Kapil Sharma’s first ever Netflix show.
The Great Indian Kapil Show is streaming now on Netflix.
