MUMBAI: Open a newspaper. Check the markets. Read about another war. Open your inbox and discover that AI can apparently do your job now. 2026 has been a lot. So FilterCopy Comedy has decided to do the only sensible thing left: laugh at it.

Hahakaar, a brand-new two-day comedy festival from FilterCopy, is set to take over Mumbai’s iconic Mukesh Mills on December 12–13, 2026. Bringing together 30+ powerhouse comedians, three multi-format comedy stages, interactive games, curated pop-ups, a sea-facing lounge, and an exclusive afterparty, tickets for the ultimate comedy extravaganza are now live on District.

The stellar star-studded lineup features fan favorites including Harsh Gujral, Munawar Faruqui, Aakash Gupta, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Manhar Seth, Atul Khatri, Aadar Malik, Rohit Shah, Prashasti Singh, Shreeja Chaturvedi, Sapan Verma, Urooj Ashfaq, Gurleen Pannu, Onkar Yadav, and Shreya Priyam Roy, alongside a lineup of emerging talent and unannounced surprise acts.

Deliberately designed to break away from conventional sit-down stand-up shows, Hahakaar transforms the historical expanse of Mukesh Mills into an interactive festival universe:

  • Grand Stand: The main stage hosting explosive headline performances.

  • Sucky Naka: An intimate indoor stage featuring surprise acts, stripped-back sets, and live digital formats.

  • Nahi-Mann Point: The high-energy alt-stage for improv, open mics, emerging comics, and experimental programming.

  • Marine Dine, Chor Bizarre & Crawfood Market: A seaside lounge and vibrant food market offering gourmet bites, drinks, and immersive installations.

  • Get-Away-of-India: The festival’s dedicated high-octane gaming zone.

  • Chowparty: The official Saturday night afterparty keeping the energy going long after the stage lights go down.

Speaking about the scale of the festival, Siddharth Anand Kumar, Executive Vice President – Films & Events, Saregama, said, “Comedy is often experienced as a sit-down experience in an auditorium as individual artist shows. With Hahakaar, we wanted to make the comedian the starting point, not the entire experience. The idea was to build a celebration around comedy, where audiences can discover new acts, explore different formats, play, eat, and keep experiencing the festival beyond the main stage.”
