While unearthing facts about a city—a scene in Batman was shot in Jodhpur; the Mehrangarh fort is impenetrable, and that the Patiala peg was introduced by a king who had 300 wives—implies that Das had relatable content when scripting his jokes, it also meant that the crew was often left scurrying to source costumes at the last moment. "When you're doing something on the spot, it doesn't always turn out great. It is reality TV, so, if the joke doesn't work, it doesn't work. But it's still watchable [as compared to other shows]."

On his part, Das says poking fun at his audience is not a style of comedy he enjoys. "Roasting is not my thing. I'll get nervous making fun of a front-row guy; he would be nervous too, and that's not a good interaction."
