The Unfiltered Laughter: Why Krushna and Kiku’s ‘Animal’ Parody Sent Ranbir Kapoor into Splits on TGIKS
The premiere of The Great Indian Kapil Show (TGIKS) on Netflix was always slated to be a grand affair, but no one quite anticipated the sheer volume of laughter that would erupt during the inaugural episode. Featuring none other than Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor, alongside his mother, Neetu Kapoor, and sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahani, the episode set an impossibly high bar for the season. Yet, the moment that truly transcended the screen and became an instant viral sensation was the hilarious, meticulously crafted, and wonderfully executed ‘Animal’ Parody starring the comedy titans Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda.
The skit was a brilliant, self-aware send-up of Ranbir Kapoor’s own controversial blockbuster, Animal, and it successfully managed to send the actor, who played the intense protagonist Ranvijay Singh, into absolute splits.
The Grand Launch and the Power of the Kapoor Clan
The significance of the first episode cannot be overstated. Marking the return of Kapil Sharma’s popular ensemble to a global streaming platform, the choice of the Kapoor family—a blend of Bollywood royalty and genuine warmth—was pitch-perfect. While the conversation was light-hearted, touching upon family anecdotes and film memories, the stage was perfectly set for the show’s specialty: an uninhibited sketch comedy segment. The controversial and highly polarising nature of the film Animal provided a fertile ground for comedy, and the genius of Krushna and Kiku lay in their ability to poke fun at the movie’s biggest characters and moments while keeping the mood jovial and respectful.
Krushna and Kiku: The ‘Animal’ Spin-Off That Broke the Code
The heart of the riotous laughter was the dynamic duo of Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda, who chose to parody the intense sibling rivalry and climax fight scene between Ranbir Kapoor’s Ranvijay and Bobby Deol’s mute antagonist, Abrar.
Krushna, a master of mimicry and physical comedy, took on the role of Abrar, replicating the character’s silence—a major plot point and source of intensity in the film. The premise of the comedy was simple yet brilliant: Abrar’s inability to speak led to utter confusion and hilarious misinterpretations on stage.
This is where Kiku Sharda stepped in with his impeccable comic timing, playing “Bade Bhaiya,” a humorous blend of the character’s elder brother and a witty mimicry of Sunny Deol. Kiku’s role was the ‘translator,’ attempting to convey Krushna’s sign language and gestures to Ranbir Kapoor’s family.
The comedic energy was driven by:
- The Mute Gag: Krushna’s frustrated attempts to communicate, contrasted by the complete chaos caused by Kiku’s wildly inaccurate translations, had the audience roaring.
- The Sunny Deol Reference: Kiku’s ‘Bade Bhaiya’ character brought in classic Sunny Deol mannerisms and dialogue references, including the iconic mention of pulling out a “handpump,” a hilarious contrast to the London setting of the Animal climax.
The Unscripted Revelation and Ranbir’s Reaction
The parody reached its crescendo with an unscripted, show-stopping twist. Krushna’s Abrar, visibly frustrated by Kiku’s terrible translation and the ensuing confusion, suddenly broke his silence.
Dropping the silent act, Krushna delivered a monologue that was an apology from Abrar’s perspective: “Animal mein meri koi galati nahin thi. Meri teen teen biwiyaan mujhe bahar ladaai karne ki kya zarurat thi. Woh to Sandeep Reddy Vanga ne mujhe chhup rehne ko kaha tha. I am here to apologise.” (It wasn’t my fault in Animal. With three wives at home, why would I need to pick a fight outside? Sandeep Reddy Vanga told me to stay quiet. I am here to apologise).
This self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking moment—blaming the director for the character’s intense violence and silence—was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the guests. Ranbir Kapoor, who had been chuckling throughout, was seen absolutely splitting with laughter at the sheer audacity and timing of the revelation.
The ultimate payoff was when ‘Bade Bhaiya’ challenged Ranbir’s Ranvijay to a fight to prove his younger brother’s incapability, leading to a hilarious mock recreation of the climax scene, with Ranbir Kapoor gamely playing along and showcasing why the film’s intense action provided such rich material for comedy.
A Masterclass in Parody
The ‘Animal’ Parody was not just a collection of jokes; it was a masterclass in the art of parody. It paid homage to the massive cultural impact of the film while cleverly injecting the show’s signature brand of comedy. The success of the skit was immediately evident from the genuine, non-stop laughter of the guests, especially Ranbir Kapoor. The video clip of the skit quickly became one of the most-watched moments from the episode, cementing Krushna and Kiku’s status as the ultimate mimicry duo and ensuring that The Great Indian Kapil Show launched its return with a massive comedic bang.
