This Netflix special reintroduces the comedian's signature multi-city format that stitches together stages, cultures, and moods. What's different this time around, you ask? Just weeks before filming the biggest show of his career, Vir lost his voice — literally and creatively. What came next was Fool Volume: his most self-aware work to date. Armed with his trademark blend of wit, heart, and just enough irreverence to keep your parents nervous, Vir takes on everything from silence and self-doubt to rediscovering joy. It's a comedy that doesn't just punch up, it reaches out.
Talking about his new special, Vir Das says, 'This special is a journey across countries, cultures, and a whole lot of internal chaos. For me, comedy has always been more than just punchlines — it's about connection. Whether you're in London, New York, or Mumbai, laughter sounds the same. This special is a celebration of that shared language — of finding joy in the chaos, meaning in the absurd, and kindness in the noise. If someone watches it and feels a little lighter, a little more understood, or just laughs until their stomach hurts — that's the magic I'm chasing."
While sharing the official trailer on his Instagram, Vir wrote, 'Indian comedy gets loud and it's not messing around. Shot in multiple cities across the world, International Emmy-winning comedian Vir Das is back to make you laugh, think, and feel all the feels with his brand-new special. Watch Vir Das: Fool Volume, shot by an Indian crew on three continents, out July 18, only on Netflix."
Earlier, while announcing one of the biggest shows of his life, Vir had shared, 'Netflix and I were about to shoot a special with a different theme. The universe had other plans. I lost my voice two months before that show. This is a show rewritten in silence and performed without rehearsal across the world. Turns out the voice in your head is way crazier than the one in your throat."

This marks Vir's fifth Netflix special, making him the first Indian comedian to reach that milestone. With global successes like Abroad Understanding, Losing It, For India, and his International Emmy-winning special Landing, each show has pushed Indian comedy further onto the world stage.

'Metro In Dino' OTT release: When and Where to watch Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan's film
Anurag Basu 's much-awaited romantic drama 'Metro… In Dino' finally released in theatres on July 4, marking nearly 18 years since the release of his acclaimed 2007 film 'Life in a… Metro'. Considered a spiritual sequel, the new film explores the ups and downs of modern relationships in today's fast-moving city life. 'Metro… In Dino' boasts a star-studded cast including Aditya Roy Kapur , Sara Ali Khan , Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi , Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal. The film received a warm reception from audiences and won praise for its emotional storytelling, heartfelt music, and strong performances. Interestingly, Konkona Sen Sharma is the only cast member returning from the original 'Life in a… Metro'. While the film is still playing in theatres, it has already confirmed its digital streaming plans with Netflix as its OTT partner. Although the exact streaming date hasn't been announced yet, films usually release online about 45 to 60 days after hitting theatres. So, the film is likely to arrive on Netflix by late August or early September. Directed by Anurag Basu, the music of the film is composed by Pritam. An excerpt from our ETimes review for the film reads, "The treatment bears a slight resemblance to the tragicomedy tone of Barfi, with actors breaking into impromptu songs to take the story ahead. When the actors are not miming, Pritam, Papon and Raghav Chaitanya stay constant as sutradhars through their music, so expect a plethora of songs, making this a true-blue romantic musical. Interestingly, Basu doesn't tell us the names of his characters and their stories upfront. You discover them sporadically and organically. This withholding and release strategy helps in breaking clutter and adding an element of mystery to the story." Anurag Basu's Film 'Metro… In Dino' Earns Mixed Public Verdict
