Amitabh and Star
TV revolutionized
television shows with
KBC. Since then several
clones of the program
have been made with
limited success. The
USP of the program
was of course, the
inimitable screen
presence of the Big
B. He presented the
show by connecting
well with the audience
and striking an instant
rapport with the contestants.
The jubilation in
success and consolation
in failure were shown
with sensitivity and
empathy. Although
the show ran for more
than two years, only
one participant, Harshavardhan
Nawathe won the total
prize money of Rupees
one crore. The show
went off air during
2003. Now it will
be re-launched from
August 5 this year.
The added attraction
is that the prize
money has been doubled.
Happy quizzing again!
