Concept

Play

An exciting game show on television called Kaun Banega Crorepati blends knowledge, strategy, and a compelling chase for fortune. The idea centres on participants selecting the correct answers to a series of multiple-choice questions in order to win the big prize of seven crore Indian rupees.

An extensive screening process is used to choose participants for the show, and people from different locations and backgrounds are considered. The famous hot seat, where contestants are introduced to the charismatic host Amitabh Bachchan, is next open to them. From there, they set off on a voyage that has the potential to change their lives and is full of suspense and tension.

Each episode includes a series of questions divided into several levels of difficulty. The questions get harder as the game goes on, forcing competitors to rely on their knowledge, instincts, and problem-solving skills. Contestants have a few lifelines at their disposal to help them in their quest, such as Ask the Audience, where they can ask for help from the studio audience, or Phone a Friend, where they can phone a reliable person for assistance. Contestants must strategically choose when and how to use the lifelines, which adds an element of surprise and drama.

To move up the money ladder, contestants must correctly answer a series of questions, with the payouts getting bigger with each right response. An erroneous response, however, could result in a considerable reduction in their award money. To reduce risk, players always have the opportunity to eject from the game and take their accrued wins with them. In order to win the life-changing reward and become a crorepati , one must reach the last question and accurately respond to it.

Amitabh Bachchan hosts the show with charisma, and he interacts with the candidates and audience in a way that keeps them interested. His famous catchphrases and tales increase the entertainment value, making Kaun Banega Crorepati a source of inspiration and enjoyment for viewers in addition to being an intellectually interesting experience.
