Three years on road and two Netflix stand-up specials later, actor-comic Vir Das paid hom to India through his latest project, which he says is a "love letter" to his country. "Vir Das: For India" follows Das' previous Netflix specials -- "A Broad Understanding" (2017) and "Losing It" (2018).

Many Twitter users, however, were left fuming because comedian failed to give his audience a good laugh. According to Abhishek Asthana a.k.a @GabbbarSingh, show was 'poorly researched'. Taking a dig at Das' jokes, Gabbbar on his Twitter handle wrote that some of his jokes in show just didn't make sense. Many agreed with popular Twitter handle @GabbbarSingh and said that show was quite 'amateurish' and 'artificial'. One user wrote: "I didn't laugh even once....like t even once.....t one bit."
