Sandwich Forever Review: Kunal Roy Kapur and Zakir Hussain are the only funny people in this boring family comedy (especially only)
Sameer (Kunal Roy Kapur) and Naina (Ahana Kumra) marry with the blessings of parents on both sides. However, Naina’s father, DK (Atul Kulkarni), almost forces her to get a flat next to her flat, played by Sameer’s parents, Zakir Hussain and Divya Seth Shah, for the children to live next door. Moved to Mumbai. An enjoyable set-up for a newlywed couple as two sets of parents do not interfere with their lives each time.
Writers Devang Kakkar, Bharti Kukreti, Pankaj Sudhir Mishra do a lively job in presenting the ideals of the characters. DK is an ex-army man who has a habit of sniffing around, Manjari’s wrong predictions, Shastriji’s obsession with plants, Sameer’s negligence and more. All these add a different color to the story. In later episodes, jokes or jibis get a bit of fun that will earn some chuckles here and there. But what stands out is the set-up. It has been such a long time since we have seen a presentation where everything is happening on set. It’s like a live audience set-up. So it reminded us of the good times of television.
There are some lines that were probably written to make people laugh, but they gave an aggressive voice. Where DK says that all unemployed youth of the country say that work from home to sound cool. It seems a little insensitive to make a jib at a time when so many people are losing jobs every day. There is a need to take leeway under the guise of comedy smartly and not carelessly. Suddenly there is an NRC jib that only landed well as Hussein said. Otherwise, it would seem like an afterthought.

It is a pity that Kunal Roy Kapoor did not get more funny roles. She is so natural. The only person who keeps you going in the initial episode is him. The character of Zakir Hussain, as I have mentioned earlier, goes through a gestational period to become comic. Luckily, since it is Hussein when he finally gets good one-liners, he becomes the star of the series. Lubna Salim is genuinely happy to watch, while Divya Seth is charming. But the biggest example is Atul Kulkarni. His jokes are not coming off, he looks lost in some instances and he is a little girl who is the father of a married girl.
Wow!
-Great actors
-Kunal Roy Kapur, Zakir Hussain
Nay!
