Too beautiful! Never been to Mumbai or India in any case. But the way Akash Gupta described the whole train-story, it made me feel like I am watching the metro life of Mumbai right infront of my eyes. The enjoyable laughter of Mumbai audience give the authenticity vote to his overall storyline.
Why I love my Mumbai ? I took a Cab from Lower Parel to Worli. The fare was Rs.67. Since I was coming from Bangalore, I gave Rs.100 to the cab driver and started walking towards my office. The driver called me back. He gave me Rs.30 back. I started walking again. He called me back again and gave me 3 bucks back. This is why I love Mumbai. It was Holi Morning. I had to come to office. My cab fare was again 70 bucks. The driver did not have change. He went ahead and bought a Vada (a typical Mumbai snack) worth Rs.10 and returned me the balance. When I was walking away. The driver took his plate of Vada, offered me half of them. “Boss, ek lelo, Holi hai!” This is why I love Mumbai. It was my first night out on Marine Drive. The rainy days were about to start.I sat on the rocks with my friend. And suddenly it started raining. Ohh, I can’t even start to tell you how much people love the first rain here. It was 3 a.m. I saw a group of 3 girls, all dressed up in their short LBDs , probably coming back after party. They got out of their car. And started drenching and dancing in the rain. And no, not a single guy catcalled them. This is why I love Mumbai. Just on the opposite side of the road ,where the girls were dancing, there was an old traditional Muslim couple. They were completely wet . The rain poured like nothing I have ever seen. Yet they sat there enjoying the view of the sea, holding hands. They were in their 60s. This is why I love Mumbai. Every Time I took the local train, I realized there is always a place for another person. It always looked impossible from the outside to get in. But somehow “we” always used to fit in those small coaches. That is why I love Mumbai. Every time it rains here, I wonder if the city is coming to a stop. It literally is like the hell broke down. I saw platform being overflown by rainwater. Then when I reached my office, I saw everyone came to work. People somehow manage to live here, irrespective of anything. The best part is they do it with a smile. That is why I love Mumbai. There used to be a couple, just below my first apartment, on the street. They did not have a place to stay. They were homeless. I used to take the cab for my office from the front of their tent. I saw the old guy reading his news paper, sipping tea and I saw his wife combing hair of her one of the street dogs. I never saw them sad in their happy little home (tent?). The wife always wore a little lilly on her hair. That is why I love Mumbai. I was at Dadar Station . It was 9 in the morning. It is pointless to say that it is one of the busiest hour. I saw a couple smooching on the platform. They were probably saying goodbyes to each other. From what I figured out later the girl was moving to another city on a long distance train. And then I realized I am one of the very few people watching. Everyone else is busy about their own train. That is why I love Mumbai. The city is an infrastructural mess. The air is so polluted at times I could not see the top of my own building due to dust. The place is so over crowded that there is probably more space in a first world country’s prison than in Mumbai. Yet, I saw a Punjabi 26 year old guy,dressed in formal, singing his heart out while coming back from office on a bike. I saw a Jaguar stuck in the same traffic light. And they coexisted happily, side by side. That is what Mumbai is for you “naked, sheer raw acceptance of truth” I saw thousands of small homes. Homes of the size of washrooms of my place in Kolkata . Yet, I never saw a permanent sad face in any of those windows. People ran, people fought, people struggled for their dreams . “One does not live in Mumbai, One struggles in Mumbai”. Mumbai is still the city of dreams. Mumbai can give you respect, happiness, irrespective of your caste, creed, gender and economical status. As the tea stall owner just outside my office used to say.. “Ambani bhi petrolpump pe petrol deta tha.. To hum konsi maal hai?” One more thing , just shout Ganpati Bappa anywhere in Mumbai u will hear MORYA next minute That spirit is the greatness of Mumbai

Being a student of Indian Classical Music, i literally would like to say this akaash bhaiya, this art of comedy is much more tough than even music.. i use to think music is tough, but literally comedy is so tough ... New jokes everytime along with body language tone etc. Amazing
Absolutely true! I am from Delhi and when I was in Mumbai, train scene used to happen in my initial days. I still remember the words "Pude chala Pude chala"! But I must tell you the vibe of Mumbai is amazing and you can't get it anywhere in India.
Bhai your comedy has so much truth and depth which actually shows situation of local in Mumbai in fact Mumbai actually feels like mirage jo lagta hai samne hai par hota nai hai lagta hain manzil ke kareeb hai par lagta door hai kitna bhi paisa kamaya dariya paisa khich leta hai Mumbai main kama Mumbai main smaya
Ye sab bakwas hai...aisa kuch nhi hai... Tu 20 min pehle nikal Ghar se .and wait... U will get enough space... Jane se 2-3 train ko...aram se uth @@kartik9314
This guy is such a delight! He was performing in our college two years back, and a light on stage burst out because of some electrical issues, there were literal sparks flying off, and this dude turned that into a whole new joke and kept performing! Mad respect, Sir. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

This is the best depiction of life in Mumbai locals, all the experience Akash showed in this are very true, I live in Palghar and got a two months internship in Airoli, the daily commute was not travelling but a daily adventure, someday I am boarding a fast running train and barely going in, going in train from the railway tracks(wrong side to board), running from platform 1 to platform 7 on legit railway tracks to boad the last train,etc , etc (travel route: palghar -> Dadar Western->Dadar Central->Thane->Airoli 3:30 hrs one way travel)
Yaar, this one was amazing & it reminds Mumbaikar Local Journey and you just Bang with your Comic Narration. I watched 2 times and same feel especially local story
The best stand up comdian. Otherwise all other comedian use abuse word an dark humour to make people laugh The best thing in akash is he does not use all this Love you akash..
