Kiku Sharda Backs Kapil Sharma, Addresses Streaming Slump on Netflix

He cites once-weekly releases after the shift from TV as the key reason for softer numbers.

Overview

  • Sharda says his partnership with Sharma is grounded in mutual respect and rejects claims that Sharma is a wannabe or fake.
  • He maintains the show’s creative approach has stayed consistent on Netflix, describing the period as a platform transition.
  • After the second episode of the current season, reports logged 1.7 million views and 3.9 million hours watched globally, with a drop in rankings.
  • Netflix has confirmed a fifth season of The Great Indian Kapil Show despite the recent dip in viewership metrics.
  • New episodes arrive on Saturdays on Netflix, and Sharda links the reduced frequency versus past twice‑weekly TV runs to shifting audience habits.
