Mumbai – On a couch where punchlines usually rule, it was an unexpected story that stole the night. This week on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4, Bhojpuri superstars Pawan Singh, Manoj Tiwari and Dinesh ‘Nirahua’ Lal Yadav didn’t just bring songs and swagger – they brought stories that sparked laughs, gasps and instant chatter.
True to form, Sidhu Paaji set the tone with his trademark shayari, each introduction landing louder than the last. Manoj Tiwari was presented as nothing short of Bhojpuri royalty – “ Bhojpuri ka badshah hai…pyaar se sabko napa.. na yeh chacha hai, na yeh tau kisi ka… yeh toh Rinkiya ke papa hain” – drawing instant cheers from the audience. Nirahua’s journey followed with a playful nod to his rise – “ *baniyan wala kameez pe aa gaya, bread wala cheese pe aa gaya…tariki toh dekho Nirahua ki… rickshaw wala Mercedes pe aa gaya,”while Pawan Singh’s entry was framed as pure star force -“dilon ka jo signal pakde, yeh woh tower hai; bina diesel ke jo tractor chala le – Pawan Singh, woh star power hai.” With every introduction, the couch only grew louder and the pride in Bhojpuri cinema became unmistakable.
The episode’s biggest moment surfaced when Nirahua shared a light-hearted story about “film casting,” recalling how he and Pawan Singh once approached Manoj Tiwari, worried about being cast as villains.Manoj bhaiya listened, calmly picked up the phone and called the director, cutting straight to the point “Pawan itna achha gaata hai, usse gaana gavao. Nirahua ko guest appearance kara do. Villain chahiye? Woh Ravi Kishan se kara lo.”The remark had Kapil jumping in instantly, sending the audience into laughter and turning it into the night’s most quoted line.
Kapil Sharma keeps the momentum going throughout the episode, slipping in and out of his Netaji avatar as the banter moves from music to politics and back. The Mastiverse only gets busier with Krushna Abhishek turning up the chaos as Donald Drunk, Kiku Sharda bringing deadpan humour as Kim Kong, and Sunil Grover adding his own flavour as Bantu Kumar Bijali, the eccentric writer watching it all unfold.
With characters colliding and jokes landing from every direction, the episode leans fully into Kapil’s brand of comedy – loud, layered and unapologetically entertaining.
Kahaniyaan bhi aayi, hasi bhi hui, aur mahaul poora set ho gaya – simple, fun and very Bhojpuri at heart.
