Finally went on in its new avtaar from the 4th of July at Film City. Studio number 10 is our home for the next 3 months atleast. It is from this studio that we daily make (executive produce) and transmit India’s first interactive game show of this nature.
Film City – Studio 10
To say the show is complex is an understatement. As we joke – we have enought high end computers and microchips – to launch the moon mission. There is redundancy built in for most things. It is too dangerous to do a live show without building in back ups. The thought itself gives me shivers. The only redundancy that seems to be difficult to build in is people. It is fascinating, that in a day and age where machines supplant people, this is one industry which is completely dependent on human expertise. The technology is merely a tool.
The Nerve Centre of the Show – The Programme Control Room (PCR)
So, what is different about this show.Well, it has the same simple questions that need responses. People still manage to get sitters wrong. Last weeks funniest answer was – fifty, the question was if a batsman in cricket scores a duck, how much does he make? The answer of course is zero – and we are supposed to be a cricket mad nation. The set is a whole lot bigger. So big that we can have a car on the set. And there are intelligent lights (not really but that’s what they are called) that mark the mood by changing colour (someone sitting in the PCR does that) and music that gives a bangra beat to the show. All of us have “jeeto jeeto jeeto” ringing in our ears.
A View of the Set
The overwhelming sensation in the studio is “chill” – the studio is cooled to around 18 degrees C. and you can see all of us with jackets and warmish clothing. Here is Mandira on a rehersal day!
Mandira – rehersing in the cold.
More pics soon. But, for those of you who are trying to get through, here is a note from the channel:
Harini could you post this on your blog?
The number 190-24-24-90-90-01 is only available to MTNL and BSNL users.
Mobile users have to register by typing dial (space) their name (space) their city and SMS it to 9090
We get over 16 Lakh calls a day, so your chances of participation depend on you luck, as well as how many number of times you register. The greater the number of times you register, the greater your chances of being picked as one of the callers who get to participate in the show.
That figure just went up to 18 lakhs! Is TAM panicking – but that is matter for a different post:)
For those of you who want to catch the show – it is on Monday to Thursday at 8 p.m. on Sahara One.
Ok, I understand that creating a show is hard work, and I am no expert on producing shows, but if I may give a few suggestions/criticism – in a purely constructive tone?
1) Mandira Bedi is just way too over the top, and comes across as very annoying – further I think she’s wasting precious screen time, and taking less calls. While Aman seems to go through loads of people, Mandira get’s only one or two. Now I don’t know if this is intentional, or if you have some market research to suggest that Mandira should be the way she is, this is just one blogger – and his associated family’s view.
2) I notice that for some prizes you don’t mention the brand names? Why is that? Does that have to do with some promotional terms regarding brand display? I.e. for the mobile phone prize, we don’t know what brand it is. Being aware of this just makes trying for a prize that much more interesting. Leaving the brand name out intermittently leaves a a slightly negative feeling
3) One last suggestion – ok again, your format works, and you’re successful, but just one more thing I have observed – again, I’m no expert on any of this, just a humble blogger, exploiting the opportunity of giving you feedback. Many people actually don’t try for the car if they get too many accumulated prizes on level 2 and 3. Maybe this isn’t a problem for you, and you’re happy with the way the show is going, but here’s an alternative format you might like to try out:
After callers play and win in Level 1 you give people 2 choices:
choice 1- Same as it is now, but you restrict people to level 3 – i.e. they are NOT allowed to play for the car at all (and if they lose level 3, they lose level 2 as well)
choice 2 – They play for the car, and they get to keep the prizes at level 2, even if they lose level 3 or the Car.
Have enjoyed watching your show thus far – and it is watched as far and wide as Hong Kong (I was recently there on vacation), where Sahara One is the sole free-to-air Indian channel available.
Again, just my suggestions as a humble blogger!
Hi Tarun
tnx for watching and your feedback.
the response from the audience in terms of show finetuning works very well indeed.
i have passed on your suggestions to the channel.
keep watching.
and tarun, what the family feels about the show from home matters a whole lot more than what a whole bunch of television people dream up:)
