Baazi Kiski is an Indian game show which premiered on Zee Tv on 2 September 2001.[1] The game show is hosted by actor Ashutosh Rana, and involves a gender-war between men and women for a total cash prize of 21,000 rupees per contestant. The show replaced Zee TV's game show Sawaal Dus Crore Ka, which did not meet audiences expectations.[2]

Overview

[edit]

The show revolves around the concept of gender battle between 'men vs. women'. It comprised 5 rounds starting with the elimination round; hence the process of eliminating the participant (man or woman) until that participant get to face each other on a one-to-one basis. The game show contains a buzzer round and prizes being given away in cash. Besides offering the cash prize, there are other prizes that are offered in the game, such as refrigerators, cars and television sets.
