The Laugh Riot That Broke the Internet: Inside Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal Parody’ Split on TGIKS
The premiere episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS) on Netflix did not just bring Kapil Sharma’s beloved brand of comedy back to the screen—it delivered one of the most memorable and side-splitting celebrity interactions in recent memory. The much-anticipated first episode, featuring Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor, alongside his mother Neetu Kapoor and sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahani, became an instant viral sensation, primarily thanks to a single, pitch-perfect sketch: a hilarious, irreverent parody of Ranbir’s blockbuster film, Animal.
The segment, rightly titled “The FUNNIEST Animal Parody Has Ranbir Kapoor in SPLITS🤣 ft.Krushna & Kiku,” proved that when the comedy veterans Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda are on form, no movie, however intense, is safe from a loving, yet savage, comedic makeover.
The Return of Rannvijay Singh
The star guest, Ranbir Kapoor, was welcomed to the stage, but the true fireworks began when the show’s ensemble cast turned the spotlight onto his controversial and commercially successful 2023 action-drama, Animal. Ranbir, who played the violent, intense character Rannvijay Singh, got a front-row seat to the comedic dissection of his own work, and his reaction—an unrestrained, continuous bout of laughter—became the episode’s defining moment.
The sketch wasn’t just a simple roast; it was a masterful blend of character mimicry, topical humour, and physical comedy, built around one of the film’s most talked-about characters.
Krushna Abhishek as the Mute Mayhem of Abrar
The parody’s central pillar of absurdity was Krushna Abhishek’s brilliant portrayal of Bobby Deol’s silent, menacing antagonist, Abrar Haque. In the movie, Abrar is mute, communicating only through sounds and violent actions—a detail the parody ruthlessly exploited for maximum comedic effect.
Krushna made his entry to the now-iconic beat of “Jamal Kudu,” perfectly capturing the character’s dark intensity but immediately subverting it with slapstick humour. Since Abrar cannot speak, Krushna’s character required a ‘translator,’ which set the stage for one of the most enduring comedy duos on Indian television to shine.
Kiku Sharda: The ‘Bade Bhaiya’ and the Translator Troubles
Enter Kiku Sharda, playing Abrar’s ‘Bade Bhaiya’ (elder brother), a character inspired by Bobby Deol’s elder brother, Sunny Deol. Kiku’s spot-on mimicry of the legendary Sunny Deol’s mannerisms, voice, and dialogue delivery immediately elevated the sketch. The crux of the humour was Kiku’s character misinterpreting Krushna’s guttural sounds and hand gestures, translating them into wildly inappropriate, self-serving, or completely nonsensical requests.
This comedic misunderstanding created a dizzying and hilarious dialogue loop. For instance, when the Kapoors asked what Abrar wanted, the ‘Bade Bhaiya’ would twist the non-verbal cues into a demand for a role in the upcoming sequel, Animal Park, or a chance to showcase his own acting skills. The escalating confusion and chaos, which kept the audience and the guests thoroughly entertained, are a signature of Kapil Sharma’s show’s style of comedy.
The Shocking Confession and the Director’s Blame
The most unexpected and hilarious twist came toward the end of the segment. After minutes of frustrating attempts to communicate through the misinterpreting translator, Krushna, as Abrar, suddenly breaks character and begins to speak—in perfect Hindi.
The shock on the faces of the Kapoors was palpable, but what followed was pure comedic gold. Krushna’s Abrar, shedding his menacing persona, emotionally confessed his true feelings, explaining that he had three wives and was perfectly content, enjoying his third marriage. He humorously questioned why a man with three wives would need to go out and fight, effectively parodying the film’s premise of a family feud.
The final punchline was Abrar’s apology to the Kapoors, immediately followed by him throwing director Sandeep Reddy Vanga under the bus, claiming the director specifically asked him to remain quiet in the film. This self-aware, meta-theatrical joke about the source material was an absolute genius stroke, leaving Ranbir Kapoor literally leaning over in his chair, completely unable to contain his laughter.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Unfiltered Reaction: An Endorsement in Laughter
The core appeal of the segment, as the title suggests, was Ranbir Kapoor’s reaction. Throughout the entire performance, Ranbir was seen clutching his face, holding his head, and laughing uncontrollably. Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahani were just as amused, their laughter serving as a testament to the quality of the improv and the characterisation by Krushna and Kiku.
For a movie star who has played an intense and much-debated role, seeing a beloved comedy team so successfully lampoon the very essence of the character, to the point of breaking down the fourth wall, is the ultimate compliment. Ranbir’s genuine, unbridled amusement was an organic endorsement of the comedian duo’s brilliance. The parody did what the best comedy does: it took something serious and intense, stripped it down to its most absurd elements, and served it up as an unforgettable laugh riot. The segment, in the end, solidified the return of The Great Indian Kapil Show as a must-watch, proving that sometimes, the funniest animal in the room is the one who can’t stop laughing.
