Samay Raina: Still Alive (2026)
Director: Karan Asnani
Cast: Samay Raina
Did you know? Samay Raina actually wrote and performed a hidden stand-up set in a small Delhi basement during his year away, with no phones allowed—footage of that secret show was only discovered by editors months later, nearly scrapping the documentary.
Why Watch: After a year of silence, Samay Raina’s *Still Alive* isn't just a comedy special—it’s a raw, gripping confession of survival amid the fallout of the *India's Got Latent* controversy. This deeply personal documentary-comedy hybrid pulls back the curtain on the legal battles and mental toll of public backlash, offering an unfiltered look at a comedian rebuilding his life on his own terms. For anyone fascinated by the price of creative freedom or the resilience of the human spirit, this is the must-watch story of the year.
Samay Raina returns following a year-long hiatus, revisiting the stormy aftermath of the India's Got Latent scandal—a time defined by intense backlash, legal battles, and a deliberate retreat from public view.
