    Star Plus Ban Gaya No. 1 Channel

    Star Plus adapts an extremely popular American game show... Who wants to be a millionaire? but to ensure its success decides to rope in its trump card.. the biggest entertainer of the millenium in India... Mr. Amitabh Bachhan. And the show becomes a super success in the huge Indian TV audience... the first Indian TV mega-show is born.. TV budgets will never be the same.. The show has audiences glued to their TV screens every weeknight for months... It made one person a crorepati.. it also sparked off several such TV shows which dole out prizes which have to have "the crore sound" As of now, no other TV show has been able to challenge it.

    Very innovative show

    It works like there one question and 4 option if you give right answer you win money.

    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.

    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.
