What to Expect From Season 5
Netflix is promoting the new season around the festive theme “Hasi Ka Tyo-haha-har”, or a festival of laughter. The streamer says the guest lineup will include celebrities, newsmakers and other personalities representing different facets of India, suggesting that Season 5 may cast its net wider than conventional film-promotion appearances. The basic appeal of the show remains familiar: celebrity conversations, comedy sketches, spontaneous banter, character-driven humour and Kapil Sharma’s trademark interactions with guests and the studio audience. At the same time, Netflix has promised more surprises and “unexpected” moments as the show returns during the festive season.
Speaking about the new season, Kapil Sharma said: “Every season, we think we have done enough masti, and then we realise that we are not done yet!”
