Kaun Banega Crorepati?

KBC is one of the few Indian shows which not only entertains but also tests your knowledge. The show has much fanfare primarily because of the host - Amitabh Bachchan. His very down-to-earth personality and humbleness charms the viewers. Contestants play the quiz to win the prize money worth seven crores, but for them, it presents a lifetime opportunity to meet Amitabh Bachchan in person.

In recent seasons, however, the show displays many personal stories of the contestants, depicting that they belong to diverse backgrounds. Still, those stories exhibit a deliberate endeavor by the producers to boost the TRP ratings.

Interestingly, while the participants try to win the coveted prize worth crores, Amitabh Bachchan himself bags about 3.5 crores per episode.

Overall, the show is a good entertainer only if you skip the fluff and watch the main parts of the show directly.

I observed the candidates who have profile like teacher always get way easier questions than other candidates who are into some technical or management profession which i feel biased. Atleast initial questions can be of same level of difficulty.

I remember vividly when the first season of the show started. It was fantastic. The questions came from a wide variety of genre and thus really tested a contestant's overall knowledge.

The host, Amitabh, was very charming and used to engage in light-hearted conversation with the contestants, most of whom were big fans of his. The contestants would request him to recite a dialogue from his movies or narrate their experience of watching his movies. They would also joke about how they would use their prize money, with some planning to produce their own movies while others intending to buy a house next to Amitabh's.

However, over the years all these great aspects of the show have been slowly disappearing and the show becoming increasingly jingoistic. The current season can hardly be called a game show. It is more of a socio-political forum. The majority of the questions are either about Indian politics or Indian sports.

The contestants and Amitabh talk about nothing but their country and how the prize money is going to be used for the greater good. Unless you are a hardcore Indian nationalist, don't bother watching this show.
