"I only think about one thing- make people laugh," he said recalling his emotions before his big show at the NCPA last month.

The audience gave glowing reviews to Munawar's stand-up. The audience urged people to experience the show live to soak it in. "My mouth dried with all the whistling. I am willing to stand in line for hours for a selfie with bhai (Munawar)," said a fan expressing his joy after watching the show.
Talking about the impact he is hoping for with the special, he said, "When I completed writing 'Dhando', I knew it was not just a comedy show, I wanted to take you somewhere I have been. I have to take them through journey of a joke and how much I can challenge my art form. What next is the question? I will take you on a journey with a story. You will cry with me, laugh with me, I will make you feel uncomfortable also. But after the show, when you exit the venue, I will make you feel very comfortable. I will make sure that atleast for 24 hours there will be a smile on your face. If someone asks you about the reason, you will say, 'Munawar ka show dekh ke aa rahe hai"
