Who’s in it? Television’s blue-eyed boy Rajeev Khandelwal is the hard taskmaster on the show and does an impressive job of keeping the contestants calm through difficult questions. He looks dapper in his new avatar, with a slightly overgrown mane. Contestants on the show range from housewives and teachers to businessmen who battle for moolah, but what we all want to know is if it will really be worth it?
What’s hot? The English version of the show was known for its relationship-breaking premise; looks like even this one will live up to it. The contestant on the first episode decided to answer every question. Is she jealous of her younger brother? Yes. Does she think her mother is always partial towards her children? Yes. Has she ever thought of killing her husband? Yes. But then she lost all on the twelfth question, losing all her money. It is this surprise or shock element that keeps the viewers gripped
What’s not? While the show has gripping content, the sets are a bit so-so with neon bulbs flashing all around. The show is also too sensational, with the camera panning overhead before the right answer is announced. The woman’s voice making the ‘True’ or ‘False’ announcement with long pauses is especially annoying. Also, sometimes the questions get so personal, it becomes humiliating for the guests.
Should you be watching it? It may be a bit of a culture shock for those who haven’t seen the English version, but it’s time to try out some new content on TV. Fans of the international version won’t be disappointed.

no one is perfect. i feel one should respect ones privacy. we learn from our as well as other's experiences (gud n bad). to wash it in the public, can be humiliating for ourselves as well as our loved ones. so i think the show should be stopped. we should respect the cultural differences between india and the west. Barring few cities which will have the courage to accept people as it is, it will have impact on others.
