On par with the big leagues

There is a palpable void when it comes to quality talk shows in the Indian media. Unlike innumerable late night talks shows of the Hollywood, Indian T.V. content didn't offer any counterparts to the foreign competitors, until Abish came into picture and presented a remarkable Talk show, that too in the web space. Show seems to be on par with big leagues, atleast when it comes to style and visual appeal.

Abish Mathew is a capable host with a well enough comic timing. He possesses an amicable disposition and being the butt of most jokes in his own show while does get a teeny bit annoying, but helps him strengthen his character of a humble, pliant acquaintance.

Over the seasons, show has grown bigger, with improved production design and a remarkable guest list including some Bollywood a-listers like Irfan Khan and Vidya Balan. A variety of games and some insightful questions throughout the duration of a 40 minute long show helps keep things entertaining but

laughs are sparse and script struggles more than it should.

Its a mixed bag, and requires a certain taste for the genre to enjoy the show.
