The Story in Brief
Bollywood star Anil Kapoor will host the reality game show 'India Ke Top 1%', premiering on Star Plus and JioHotstar from September 5. The show adapts the international format 'The 1% Club', which has aired in 11 countries including the Netherlands, Germany, and the US.
According to Kapoor, the show does not test factual knowledge but instead challenges observation, logic, presence of mind, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Contestants can play along from home. Kapoor said the show will 'surprise you and keep you on your toes'.
The Indian Opinion
The show's claim that 'it's not about what you know, but how you think' is a refreshing pitch in a market saturated with trivia contests. However, Indian TV audiences love a cash jackpot. The international format has worked elsewhere, but the real test will be whether pure logic challenges can hold prime-time attention without a big prize lure. Watch if the play-along-at-home gimmick actually translates into sustained ratings.
