Comedy Nights with Kapil

Badai Bungalow (transl. Bungalow for Boasting) is an Indian Malayalam sketch comedy and celebrity talk show hosted by Ramesh Pisharody, Mithun Ramesh, and Kalabhavan Navas that launched on Asianet from 2013. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 PM. The second season of the show aired on every Friday at 9:30 PM.

Each episode features celebrity guests who usually appear to promote their latest films in a comedy-focussed talk show format. Several stars from Malayalam film and television industry has participated in this show. This show is inspired by Comedy Nights with Kapil.

Mukesh is a permanent guest in the show playing the role of Badai Bungalow's owner.[1] Due to high viewership, the air time was changed to every Sunday at 8:30 pm.[when?] It replaced the long-running comedy series Cinemala. The show ended on 3 June 2018.

The second season of the series premiered on 3 March 2019 on Asianet channel.

Controversy

[edit]

Ramesh Pisharody's absence from the program for around a month led to a decrease in the show's popularity. The alternative host, Rajesh, falls short as a replacement for Pisharody, especially in bringing liveliness and engaging guests with humour rather than showering praise and epitomising them as beyond human which fails to ground with the Malayali audience. His absence or speculated termination was met with highly negative feedback through social media.[2][3] Though the main host of the show, Mukesh, said this was a temporary setback.

Rajesh, who was already popular as an anchor, later added a video featuring him with Mukesh, Pisharody, and Arya, clarifying this point. Later, Pisharody returned to the show, and the popularity increased again.
