The Story in Brief
Sony TV has released a promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, showing first guests Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol playfully questioning host Amitabh Bachchan about the new season's theme 'Is baar sochna padega'. Aamir asks what exactly contestants must think about, and Big B replies wryly that 'looking at me won't benefit you' and 'it's not going to be so easy'. This marks Sunny Deol's first appearance on KBC.
The duo are promoting their upcoming film Batwara 1947, a period drama set during Partition, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir. The film, cleared by the CBFC without cuts, releases on August 14. KBC 18 premieres on August 10 at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, with weekday episodes following. The show promises a focus on interpreting and applying knowledge rather than just recalling facts.
The Indian Opinion
The KBC 18 promo is a slick piece of cross-promotion for the film Batwara 1947, but the banter between Big B and the guests feels genuine. Still, the show's claim of making contestants 'think more' risks being just a tagline. The real test will be whether the new format actually rewards deeper reasoning, or if the celebrity parade merely distracts from the contestants who are the real stars of the show.
