Netflix is bringing back the laughter with Season 5 of The Great Indian Kapil Show. The new season premieres on September 26 at 8 PM with the cast of Drishyam: The Conclusion.
This season comes with the theme ‘Hasi Ka Tyo-ha-ha-har’. Moreover, viewers can expect comedy, celebrity banter, dance performances and plenty of unexpected moments as the festive season begins.
Drishyam Cast Joins the Premiere
The season opener features Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav and Jaideep Ahlawat. Director Abhishek Pathak will also join the stars.
Together, they discuss the final chapter of the popular thriller franchise. However, the conversation quickly moves into lighter territory as Kapil Sharma and his team bring their trademark humour.
As a result, the episode combines the serious world of Drishyam with plenty of fun.
Jaideep Ahlawat Shares a Career Connection
One of the episode’s highlights comes from Jaideep Ahlawat. The actor reveals his long-standing connection with Ajay Devgn.
Ahlawat’s Hindi film journey began with Aakrosh, where he worked alongside Devgn. Now, years later, he shares the screen with him again in Drishyam: The Conclusion.
Therefore, the moment becomes a special full-circle chapter in Ahlawat’s career. At the same time, it gives viewers a more personal glimpse into his journey.
Comedy Takes Over the Stage
The laughter gets louder when Jaideep Ahlawat joins Sona and Mona 2.0 for a fun dance moment.
The revived Krushna Abhishek-Kiku Sharda pairing adds its usual energy. Meanwhile, Ahlawat gets to show a much more playful side of his personality.
That’s not all. Sunil Grover also joins the fun with his hilarious Ajay Devgn impression.
The mimicry leads to more witty exchanges on stage. Additionally, Navjot Singh Sidhu praises Ajay’s sharp delivery, saying, “Bolta nahi, par jab bolta hai jaandaar, wazandaar.”
Season 5 Brings a Big Guest Line-Up
The fun will continue beyond the premiere. The new season features a wide mix of stars from Bollywood, television, comedy and sports.
Tamannaah Bhatia, Sidharth Malhotra, Shweta Tiwari, Anup Soni and Maniesh Paul are among the upcoming guests.
Furthermore, comedy favourites Zakir Khan and Pankaj Tripathi will also join Kapil Sharma.
The show will also welcome cricket legends Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar. Their appearances are expected to bring a different flavour to the celebrity conversations.
More Comedy and Celebrity Banter Ahead
Kapil Sharma remains at the centre of the show. However, Season 5 brings fresh guest combinations and new comic situations.
From sketches and mimicry to dance performances, every episode promises a different mix. As a result, viewers can expect plenty of spontaneous moments.
Meanwhile, the festive ‘Hasi Ka Tyo-ha-ha-har’ theme gives the season a celebratory touch. The focus remains firmly on light-hearted entertainment and laughter.
