The Kapil Sharma Show is an Indian Hindi stand-up comedy and talk television series which premiered on 23 April 2016 and is broadcast by sony channel. The series revolves around Kapil Sharma and his neighbors in the Shantivan Non-cooperative Housing Society. The series which was originally scheduled for 26 episodes, was later extended indefinitely.
Development began in December 2015, when Sharma announced his plans to create a new show for a Hindi general-entertainment channel other than Colors TV. The series received mixed reviews; one critic said, "Kapil Sharma’s wit and funny one-liners bring a smile", but another called it "dull and disappointing". It has received positive feedback from audiences, gaining top TRP ratings in the non-fiction category.
The series' format is largely identical to that of Comedy Nights with Kapil.The Kapil Sharma Show revolves around Sharma and his team of comedians, including Kiku Sharda, Sunil Grover, Sumona Chakravarti, Chandan Prabhakar and Ali Asgar, who play residents of the Shantivan Non-cooperative Housing Society. Each episode features Bollywood celebrities, who usually promote their latest film, and joke with the cast. "Navjot Singh Sidhu" plays a permanent house guest who impresses the celebrities with his poetries.
On 22 December 2015, The Times of India reported that Sharma had decided to end his Comedy Nights with Kapil series and might move it to Star Plus or Sony TV with a new title because of his unhappiness with Colors TV. He said, "Yes, it's true. We told them we would go off the air in December, but since they didn't have a replacement ready, they requested us to continue till January 17". On 4 February 2016, The Times of India reported that the new show would be called Comedy Style. On 2 March, the newspaper confirmed that the new show would air on Sony TV. At a press conference the day before, the show's title was announced as The Kapil Sharma Show. Asked the reason for the change from Comedy Style, Navjot Singh Sidhu said that the show's creative team was uncertain about the name and conducted market research. Sharma's fans wanted a title like Kapil Wala Show, and the team came up with The Kapil Sharma Show.
