We have had different kinds of reality shows on Indian television. Some with a celebrity host some without. Some are game shows and some are talent hunts where viewers can vote for their favourite contestant. But this one promises to be different. It not only involves the audience inside the studio, even viewers sitting comfortably at home can participate in this game show and win prizes. National Bingo Night on Colors will also have it glamour quotient as Abhishek Bachchan will host it. From January 23, the show will be aired very Saturday at 9 pm.
So what would be the fate of this show? Will it redefine the television viewing in India on weekends? Though, the show has been well received in the US and Australia in their respective formats.
Ashvini Yardi, programming head, Colors, says, “The show has enjoyed super success in the foreign format and now, it has come to tickle the audience in an Indian version. Now, Saturdays will be fun on Colors as a variety of other shows are also planned for the weekend slot.”
Two rounds of the number game, Bingo, will be played by the studio contestant as numbers are drawn from the ‘Bingo Bubble’. The studio audience will predict the numbers and will match them with the tickets given to them.
