The Story in Brief
Actor Madhuri Dixit will host Kon Honar Crorepati, the Marathi adaptation of Kaun Banega Crorepati, marking her return to TV hosting after 24 years. The 59-year-old last hosted a show in 2002, Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai, a reality show on arranged marriages. Since then she has been a judge on dance shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. The new season carries the theme ‘Aata Khel Badalnar’ (Now the game will change). Dixit is only the second woman to host the show in India after Radhikaa Sarathkumar (Tamil). The show will air on Sony Marathi and Sony LIV.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Madhuri Dixit hosting Kon Honar Crorepati risks two lazy takes: that only Amitabh Bachchan can do KBC justice, or that a regional version is a lesser gig. Neither holds. Dixit has hosted before and judged dance shows for years. The real test is whether she can match the emotional connect Big B brings to the hot seat, not her star power. Audiences will decide soon when the show premieres on Sony Marathi and Sony LIV.
