Reality TV was hardly there when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’s Indian version Kaun Banega Crorepati hit Indian Television in 2000 and revolutionized it forever. It not only added a new dimension to Television but also gave new lease of life to Amitabh Bachchan’s almost dying career. Recently it turned 14 and we though of coming up with reasons why Indian audience is still hooked to the game show.
1.The first reason that is pretty obvious is meeting Amitabh Bachchan. It is very difficult to sum up the craze of this man in mere words. He may be 70+ but still enjoys an enviable fan following. His followers don’t love him, they respect and worship him. And KBC put them right in front of the legend and also made them win money. The mere excitement of meeting the genius of a man called Amitabh Bachchan is enough for the contestants. Many a times they have mentioned that they don’t mind not winning a penny. The prospect of meeting AB is much more alluring than the money.
2. The promise for a common man to win big bucks by answering just a couple of questions. All you need is some knowhow about the current affairs. Many families make 10k in a month. Here the first few questions and 10 minutes can win one that. It still is fascinating for many.
3. With every season, the ultimate prize is multiplied and the levels intensified. This makes the show very interesting and current.
4. Getting celebrities to endorse it from time to time only helped the show because it is easy to fied a journalist’s question but getting grilled on your knowledge is not easy.
5. It also engages the audience at large and plays on their emotions. Now which show manages to do that again and again!
