The Great Indian Kapil Show Drops From Netflix's Global Top 10 As Viewership Dips
Last Updated: Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 was launched with major celebrity guests but has seen a steady drop in viewership, indicating waning audience interest. Kapil Sharma made a big move to streaming in 2024 with The Great Indian Kapil Show debuting on Netflix. After years of dominating weekend television on Colors and Sony, the shift was expected to draw in wider audiences and bring his signature comedy format to a new digital audience. The show kicked off with plenty of buzz, but by its third season, numbers are showing a dip. In its latest run, The Great Indian Kapil Show has aired five episodes so far. The first three made it to Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English Shows, but the last two episodes have dropped off the chart. The early momentum seems to have slowed. The opening episode of Season 3 featured Salman Khan and recorded 1.6 million views and 1.9 million hours viewed. Netflix calculates views by dividing total hours watched by the show's runtime, meaning these aren't unique viewers. The second episode, featuring the cast of Metro In Dino, had a combined 2 million views across its first two weeks—but this included cumulative views for both the first and second episodes. Netflix did not share specific numbers for the second episode alone. By the third week, the episode featuring cricketers Gautam Gambhir, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rishabh Pant saw further decline. Netflix stated the total cumulative views for all three episodes had dropped to 1.2 million. That downward trend has continued, with the last two episodes now missing from the platform's global charts altogether. For context, the final entry on the most recent global non-English Top 10 list pulled in 1.4 million views in two weeks. Familiar Pattern from Past Seasons This isn't the first time the show has seen a strong start followed by a fall in numbers. Season 2 began well, but after four episodes, viewership slipped. The episode featuring Kareena and Karisma Kapoor marked a turning point, as total views across the first four episodes during week four dipped to 900k, despite 4.2 million hours watched. Season 1 saw something similar. The fourth episode, featuring Vicky and Sunny Kaushal, resulted in a drop to 1.2 million cumulative views across four episodes, with 3.9 million viewing hours. What's Next for Kapil Sharma's Show? Despite the viewership dip, The Great Indian Kapil Show still remains one of Netflix India's most talked-about titles. But the slipping presence in the global charts may push the platform and the creators to reassess how the show connects with a streaming-first audience. The upcoming episode will feature content creators Raj Shamani, Saurabh Dwivedi, Kamiya Jani, and Samdish Bhatia. Whether the guest line-up can reignite interest and pull the show back into the global rankings remains to be seen.

Watch: Joaquin Phoenix 'so sorry' for 'horrible' 2009 'Letterman' interview
1 of 5 | Joaquin Phoenix apologized for his "horrible," "uncomfortable" 2009 interview with David Letterman during his visit to "The Late Show" Tuesday. File Photo by Rocco Spaziani/UPI | License Photo July 16 (UPI) -- Eddington star Joaquin Phoenix is apologizing for his "horrible" 2009 interview on The Late Show with David Letterman. The actor, 50, discussed the experience when he stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday. In 2009, Phoenix spoke to then-Late Show host David Letterman while in character for his film I'm Not Here, in which he portrays a version of himself who quits acting to become a hip-hop artist. His appearance and behavior during the interview led some to believe Phoenix was having a mental breakdown. "It was horrible. It was so uncomfortable. I regret it. I'll never do it again. I'm so sorry," the actor told Colbert with a smile. "It was strange because in some ways, it was a success, and it was also just one of the worst nights of my life," he added. Phoenix said the situation happened because he stayed in character for the duration of filming, which lasted longer than he anticipated. "We shot for over a year. I did not anticipate that. I thought I was going to be several weeks, maybe a couple months, and what happened was -- because it started out just in my house... and then we started going public," he said, adding, "I had to keep it going." Phoenix next stars in Eddington, which opens in theaters Friday. The film is directed by Ari Aster and also features Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Luke Grimes.

Farmers Union of Wales issue update before Royal Welsh Show
With July upon us, all roads lead to Builth Wells, with the Royal Welsh Show less than a fortnight away. As well as showcasing the best of rural Wales, the Show will be a significant milestone for the FUW as we celebrate 70 years since our establishment in 1955. Whilst a lot has changed politically, socially and agriculturally over the past seven decades, the FUW's founding principles of thriving, sustainable family farms continue at the heart of the Union's work as we continue to represent thousands of members across Wales. As part of the celebrations, a special panel discussion will be held at the FUW pavilion on Wednesday at 11:00 and is open to all. The panel will bring together a range of familiar faces to reflect on changes and challenges over the years, and address the evolving landscape facing the future of Welsh agriculture. As well as an opportunity to reflect on the Union's history, the Show also offers a crucial opportunity to look forward, with a particular focus on future farm funding frameworks and what work can be done to incentivise and support the next generation of farmers. With the industry waiting in anticipation for the final Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), a question and answer session on Monday morning at 11:00 will provide an opportunity to hear the FUW's reaction, as well as a question and answer session with the Welsh Government, providing an opportunity for members and the public to ask questions on the Scheme design and expectations. Wednesday morning will also provide insight on future farm funding, with the FUW hosting a discussion on Wednesday morning focused on the Welsh Government's new Ffermio Bro agri-environment scheme, with a discussion on how it can support farmers and nature in National Parks and Designated Landscapes in Wales. Tuesday will see the FUW launch their policy report 'A Mandate for Future Farmers', outlining our vision to increase the opportunities for young farmers and new entrants in Wales. The document will outline key asks of both the Welsh and UK governments, as well as the wider farming community, to nurture the next generation of farmers. Held at the FUW pavilion on Tuesday morning at 11:15, the launch will provide an opportunity for an array of young farmers and new entrants to share their own experiences, as well as insight from representatives from Wales' Young Farmers Clubs and Farming Connect. There'll be a warm welcome at the FUW pavilion throughout the week, so don't hesitate to call by for a cuppa and a catch-up!
