Hasmukh review: Vir Das' Netflix show has a promising premise but fails to be gripping

Firstpost  

Vir Das is watchable and capable of carrying a show like Hasmukh on his shoulders. Language: Hindi After collaborating with Netflix for three stand-up specials, Vir Das returns to the streaming platform in a fiction show developed by him. Like fellow stand-up comedians like Sumukhi Suresh, Biswa Kalyan Rath, and Anirban Dasgupta, the show is not merely an extension of Vir’s stand-up comedy, but packs in much more. Hasmukh may be the most of Vir Das the audience has seen so far but it is certainly not what he will be remembered for, given his witty stand-up comedy sets and effective smaller parts in big films.
