The Parody That Broke the Internet: How Krushna and Kiku Left Ranbir Kapoor in SPLITS on TGIKS
The grand debut of The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS) on Netflix promised a return to form for Indian comedy, and it delivered spectacularly, not just with big-name guests but with a sketch that instantly became a viral sensation. The title—”The FUNNIEST Animal Parody Has Ranbir Kapoor in SPLITS🤣 ft. Krushna & Kiku | Episode 1 | #TGIKS”—is not an exaggeration. The hilarious send-up of Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster film, Animal, orchestrated by comedy titans Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda, was a masterclass in observational humor, leaving the star guest completely incapable of containing his laughter.
This episode, which featured Ranbir Kapoor alongside his mother, the legendary actress Neetu Kapoor, set the bar for the entire season. While the main conversation was engaging, the Animal parody proved to be the segment everyone was talking about, flawlessly merging the high-octane drama of the original film with the signature absurdism of the show’s comedians.
The Grand Opener: TGIKS Hits Netflix with a Bang
The launch of The Great Indian Kapil Show marked a significant milestone in Indian television and OTT history. Moving from broadcast television to the global streaming platform of Netflix, the show’s creators understood the need to make an immediate impact. The casting of Bollywood’s most celebrated actor, Ranbir Kapoor, who was riding high on the success of his intensely-debated film Animal, was a genius stroke. His presence, combined with the comedy powerhouse of Kapil Sharma’s team, guaranteed explosive content.
For the audience, the episode was a welcome reunion of familiar comic faces—Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Sunil Grover—each bringing their unique, celebrated personas back to the stage. The decision to immediately tackle the biggest cinematic phenomenon of the year, Animal, gave the comedians a rich, ripe target, full of memorable, over-the-top scenes and characters ready for satire. The result was a flawless fusion of topical humor and theatrical brilliance.
Krushna and Kiku’s Masterstroke: The ‘Animal’ Anarchy
The parody segment focused on the complex, hyper-masculine world of Animal, primarily drawing humor from the relationship between the lead character, Ranvijay (played by Ranbir Kapoor), and his cousin, Abrar Haque (played by Bobby Deol), particularly the latter’s mute nature.
The Setup: Apologies and Accusations
Krushna Abhishek, often celebrated for his uncanny celebrity impersonations, took center stage, though not in an exact mimicry, but embodying a stylized, highly dramatic, and apologetic version of Ranvijay. The premise of the skit involved him seeking forgiveness—not from his father, but from ‘Sunny Paaji’ (Sunny Deol, whose family, the Deols, are central to the film’s narrative) for mercilessly beating up his younger brother, a direct humorous reference to the brutal fight sequence in Animal.
The real comic gold began with Kiku Sharda’s portrayal of the mute brother. Kiku’s character stands silent, communicating only through frantic, soundless gestures that Krushna’s character comically misinterprets, leading to a cascade of confused, rapid-fire dialogue. The underlying joke mocked the sheer lack of dialogue given to one of the most imposing characters in the original movie.
Breaking the Mute: The Climax Redo
The skit reached its peak absurdity when Krushna’s character was given “one chance” to redo the film’s climax, which takes place on a runway. In a moment of pure comic genius, Kiku Sharda’s mute character suddenly began to speak, expressing his frustrations and proving he was not, in fact, mute, but just being “as deaf as Krushna’s character made him play.”
Key moments that sent Ranbir Kapoor into a laughing fit included:
- The Handpump/Gadar 2 Joke: In the “climax redo” scenario, Krushna’s character suggests that if he were ‘Animal,’ he would have performed a heroic feat. Instead of fighting, he humorously declares, “If I was an animal, I would have built a hand pump there in London.” This unexpected, side-splitting reference to Sunny Deol’s iconic Gadar 2 scene in Pakistan, juxtaposed with the cosmopolitan setting of London, was a classic example of contextual Indian comedy that delighted the audience and the star.
- The Bhabhi Ji Trilogy: The parody cleverly referenced the controversy and discussion surrounding Ranvijay’s multiple wives in the film. Krushna’s character cheerfully greeted his wives, addressing them as “Bhabhi ji One, Bhabhi ji Two, Bhabhi ji Three,” a cheeky nod to the film’s subplots and the character’s complex family life.
- The ‘Animal Park’ Pitch: In a meta-joke, the Krushna-version of Ranvijay acknowledges that since his character dies in Animal, he won’t be able to be in the sequel, Animal Park. He then earnestly pitches Kiku Sharda’s character—the newly-verbal ‘mute’ brother—for the sequel, praising him as an “amazing actor” who “does a great job,” which had Ranbir Kapoor in splits over the sheer audacity of the suggestion.
Ranbir Kapoor: The Audience of One
The true measure of the segment’s success was Ranbir Kapoor’s reaction. Throughout the skit, the camera often cut to the star, who was seen covering his mouth, leaning over, and wiping away tears of laughter. He wasn’t offering polite applause; he was genuinely overwhelmed by the comedians’ timing and the ridiculousness of the situations. His unabashed, honest laughter served as the perfect validation for Krushna and Kiku’s performance, solidifying the parody as one of the most memorable comic highlights of the show’s debut season.
By taking a polarizing film and turning its intensity into harmless, mass-appeal comedy, Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda demonstrated the power of good satire. Their collaboration reaffirmed their status as one of India’s most effective comic duos and ensured that the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show would be remembered for its sheer comedic brilliance.
