    Information with unnecessary drama

    Information for sure but too much unnecessary drama as Amitab sir is being too predictable when trying to create the suspense after the right answers and too much unnecessary information about the players with their family videos and stuff.

    A knowledge based and entertaining show with an opportunity to become a millionaire.

    KBC(Kaun Banega Carorepati) was launched for the first time in July,2000. It is a show which provides healthy entertainment and also helps in enhancing knowledge. The show is full of life, enthusiasm,thrill,hope and fun , bringing everyday with it new stories of people of different sect,caste,age, states or profession . Many people are interested to be successful to reach a the 'Hot Seat' and be infront of Super Hero of Millenium Amitabh Bacchan (Big B) and for which they are trying their best day and night . This show gives the audience a great deal of knowledge in every sphere, The questions are simple sometimes and mindboggling after reaching a particular level. The conduct of the show by the Super Star Amitabh Bhachan is simply superb. KBC.. well a great platform for a common man who has bunch of knowledge!! especially it helps financially which is much needed to common man! This season came after a long break! The main thing of this program is that the participants, participating in the program, should give answers within no time in order to get hot seat. Secondly in this program questions on every topic are asked and Amitabh Bachchan creates a suspense when the person sitting on the hot seat gives the correct reply. Over all this is a very nice program from every corner. This time KBC play along had made easy for home viewers and they can win Big prizes from home. No one can Beat KBC and Amitabh Bachan how hard they try to copy it.

    KBC - an excellent show only if you skip the fluff

    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.

    Its a talk show with few questions asked

    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.

    Used to be good, not anymore

    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.
