One channel has been offering relatively new experiences to television viewers.
Laughter Challenge, Nach Baliye, Bluff Master were some of
their unique offerings. And now the channel has come up with an original concept
for a game show titled Kisko Milega Cash. The
show will have three judges out of which two will be constant and the third judge
would be a celeb guest who will keep changing every episode. The two constant
judges will be Anil Dharker and Neena Gupta. The celeb guests will be the likes
of Renuka Shahane, Sudha Chandran, Jaya Bhattacharya, Vidya Malvade, Shivaji Satam,
Rucha Gujrati. The show will be hosted by Vinod Sherawat . Talking
about the show, Ravinath Menon executive vice-president Content and Communication,
Star India, says, “This is a bold attempt and the show is one of its kinds. The
format is not been picked up but is an original concept of the channel. Through
this concept we will be rewarding a huge sum of money to people who are in actual
need of it.” “Each set of contestants, three per episode, have been
chosen by our creative team and will be judged by the viewers through SMSs in
totality. The judges’ comments and inputs will help decide the viewers on their
final judgment,” informs Menon. The winner of each episode will
be announced on the episode the very next day. The winner will be awarded a sum
of five lakhs. There will be two lines to each SMS. One would be for voting and
the other line would be for the people who would want to donate to help a particular
participant fulfill his desires or necessities even if he may not be the winner. Ravinath
Menon says, “The participants will get 60 seconds each to voice their dreams,
desires, necessity or need for the money. They then will be questioned by the
judges and our team will cross examine the authenticity and genuineness of their
needs by asking their neighbours, friends and family.” Each
episode will involve questions, cross questions, debates, reality shots, arguments
and lot more. To kill the monotony of the episode every Thursday there will be
performances by the participants. For example there will be three magicians or
three musicians who would showcase their talent on episodes that will be aired
on Thursdays. The first capsule is of 28 episodes and if the show
and its concept will be appreciated by the viewers the channel will continue with
the second season. There will also be a bumper prize of Rs 25 lakhs which will
be won by the best-of-the-best at the end of the season. The channel at present
is concentrating on the participants from Mumbai. As the show will progress they
will target participants from other towns as well. Vinod Sherawat,
the host of Kisko Milega Cash says, “After a long time somebody has come
up with such an idea. We have been watching reality show based on dance and music
with celebrity participants. They all believe in making rich celebrities richer.
But this show would help the aam janta fulfill their dreams and desires.”
The show starting from March 3rd will be aired at 10pm from Monday to Thursday.
