Hrithik Roshan praises Vir Das’ Netflix special, says "the best stand-up ever"

Hrithik Roshan praises Vir Das

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan recently made an unexpected comeback to Instagram, but this time it wasn't for personal milestones or movie promotions.

Rather, he made a special appearance on the social media site to congratulate comedian-actor Vir Das on his most recent Netflix stand-up special, Fool Volume.

Fans were taken aback by the action because Hrithik had reinstalled Instagram to express his gratitude after clearly being away from it.

Posting a glowing review on his Instagram Stories, Hrithik wrote, “Had to reinstall Instagram cause I had to say this. Vir Das’ Fool Volume has got to be the best stand-up show ever.”

The statement, brief yet powerful, quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans, the comedy world, and Bollywood circles alike.

Many lauded Hrithik’s unfiltered admiration, noting how refreshing it was to see a mainstream star publicly acknowledge a comedy special with such heartfelt words.

Fool Volume, which dropped globally on Netflix this past Friday, marks Vir Das’ sixth stand-up release and follows his Emmy-winning Landing from 2024.

Known for his sharp observations and fearless humour, Vir pushes the envelope further in this outing, exploring identity, political absurdities, and the contradictions of cultural duality — all through his trademark mix of satire and sincerity.

Critics have called Fool Volume Das’ most personal and daring piece yet, applauding its honesty, vulnerability, and thought-provoking take on modern society. The special has clearly struck a chord, resonating with audiences in India and internationally.

In response to Hrithik’s praise, Vir Das shared a touching message across his platforms, saying, “Day, month, year, life made. Thank you Hrithik for always shining light and for always being amazing. Thank you thank you @hrithikroshan I admire you so much.”

With Fool Volume, Vir continues to cement his standing as one of India’s most significant voices in comedy. And now, with Hrithik Roshan’s high praise, the special has earned the kind of endorsement few comedians could dream of. Fool Volume is now available to stream on Netflix.
