1''Hasmukh'' is an Indian dark comedy crime series premiering on Creator/{{Netflix}} in starring Vir Das as the titular character, an aspiring young comedian who can only perform if he kills a guilty person before going onstage. Murdering his mentor Gulati in cold blood, Hasmukh's crime is discovered by his friend Jimmy "The Maker", who insists on becoming Hasmukh's manager. Received as a prodigious "God of Comedy" after his stand-up acts go viral, Hasmukh's rise to fame must come at a terrible price.

3!!Hasmukh provides examples of the following tropes
4* AmbitionIsEvil: {{Subverted}} initially, as Hasmukh is reluctant to kill anyone, but his ambitious desire to become the greatest comedian in India overrides his otherwise decent morals. Even then, he insists on only killing bad people. The significantly less moral Jimmy enables Hasmukh's homicidal habits.
5* EvilUncle: Hasmukh's horribly abusive uncle is one of his first victims. Hasmukh feels absolutely zero guilt for his death.
6* SmallNameBigEgo: Jimmy "The Maker". Yes, it's a self-given nickname.
