Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube; Months after controversy: Fans call it 'Best comeback ever'
The return comes months after a major controversy involving fellow YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia forced the original channel to pull down all content and sparked legal action.
The Controversy that took the show offline
Earlier in 2025, India's Got Latent found itself at the center of a public and legal firestorm after Ranveer Allahbadia allegedly made an inappropriate comment to a contestant.
The backlash was swift and severe and the FIRs were reportedly filed not only against Ranveer but also co-panelists Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and
Ashish Chanchlani
.
The fallout prompted Samay to take down all episodes from his official channel. He further released a statement expressing emotional exhaustion and regret. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle,' he wrote. 'My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time.'
A Quiet Comeback With Loyal Support
Now, the show's revival on a separate platform—India's Got Latent Clips—has taken the internet by surprise.
Including public and previously members-only content, over 500 videos are reuploaded. Fans are celebrating the return. The comment sections are overflowing with enthusiasm, with messages like 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka' and 'Best comeback everrr.'
While the revival lacks the pomp of a full-scale relaunch, it indicates that the show's core community has remained firmly in place.
What's Next for Samay Raina?
Even as India's Got Latent finds its way back into the YouTube algorithm, host Samay Raina is far from idle. The comedian is currently on an international stand-up tour that spans Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The tour kicked off on June 5 and will wrap up in Sydney on July 20.

Adam Sandler's Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2 slammed by fans for its poor colour grading: 'Eminem looks like he has jaundice'
Adam Sandler's long-awaited sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, dropped on Netflix on July 25, and while it quickly soared into the platform's trending charts, not everyone is impressed. Fans are calling out the movie's oddly flat cinematography, questionable colour grading, and what many are calling a cheap, almost amateur look, despite a legacy tied to one of Sandler's most iconic films. Viewers have pointed out that the sequel's lighting and visual tone feel off, especially when scenes are directly compared to the original Happy Gilmore. Some are even sarcastically suggesting that the movie was filmed using iPhones or low-end equipment, criticising Netflix for prioritising content output over visual quality. What is Happy Gilmore 2 about? Happy Gilmore 2 picks up years after the events of Happy Gilmore, following Happy as he navigates a comeback tour after a long hiatus from professional golf. This time, he's mentoring a young, hot-headed prodigy while clashing with a new generation of players. The film mixes nostalgia with newer storylines, aiming to bridge the gap between long-time fans and a younger audience. Fans react to poor visuals and awkward colour grading One user wrote, 'Why does it look like it was made by a YouTuber? Why does Eminem look like he has jaundice? Did he need that much makeup?When they did the cutbackto the original movie, the lighting and colour grading were perfect. How did Adam Sandler watch this and go, 'Yeah, this will do''? Why does it look like it was made by a youtuber?why does eminem look like he has jaundice ?did he need that much makeup.?when they do the cut back to the original movie the lighting and color grading was perfect. how did adam sandler watch this and go "yeah this will do" 😭 Another said, 'This lowkey looks worse in quality than videos I have taken on my iPhone camera.' Others echoed the sentiment, 'Netflix ruined everything. Quantity over quality now.' 'They probably shot the new movie on iPhones or something.' Check out more reactions below: They probably shot the new movie on iPhones or something It all looks like YouTube skits nowadays looks like a superbowl commercial I don't understand why they stopped caring about good color pallets for films All the star cameos in Happy Gilmore 2 Despite the criticism, Happy Gilmore 2 does offer a buffet of unexpected celebrity cameos. Eminem makes a surprise appearance, though fans weren't too happy with his overdone makeup. Also popping up are sports legend Shaquille O'Neal, Rob Schneider (of course), Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Chris Rock, Kevin James, and even former NBA player Charles Barkley. Pop star Bad Bunny and NFL champion Travis Kelce also make cameo appearances. The movie leans hard into the nostalgia factor, even cutting back to scenes from the original film to remind viewers where it all began. Still, for many fans, the celebrity cameos weren't enough to distract from the film's jarring visual downgrade. Whether Happy Gilmore 2 holds up as a worthy sequel or not might be up for debate, but fans definitely expected a better-looking film than what they got.
